See coverage on TV3. I think it will be on the news tonight too. Oh, and keep an eye out for the bus!

More than a year ago I picked up drupal.net.nz off an expired domains auction site -- probably Expired Domains. I have no personal nor business use for it or interest in it, but I'm not about to give it up to some {insert your favourite swearword here} domain squatter either. Some talk has occurred in the Christchurch DUG about how it could be used for the drupal community. I think this discussion should be opened up to the NZ DUG. Please contribute your ideas here.

Update: THIS FRIDAY

Beers at the Hop with/near/alongside egressive/effusion.

LCA have opened request for papers onwards to interested groups. Is there a NZ drupaler who would like to submit a paper?

Feel free to contact me if you need review/support/beer.

linux.conf.au 2008 Call For Presentations

linux.conf.au isn't just a Linux conference. It is a technical
conference about Free Software, held annually in Australasia.
We invite submissions on any Free Software related subject; from
Linux and the BSDs to OpenOffice.org, from networking to
audio-visual magic, from deep hacks to Creative Commons.

I recently assisted in a total conversion of that high-profile (also astonishingly high-traffic) Sorted.org.nz to Drupal 5. Released last Sunday.

All the heavy lifting, Design, Content conversion etc was done by the Sparks Interactive team. I'm sure they won't mind me making this announcement partly on their behalf.
I assisted mostly in a remote mentor/sharpshooter role with a few of the tricky bits.

Are there any Drupal users in Auckland keen for a meet up?
