beginner

Hi, just wanted to say I'm very happy with the Slate theme. Just built my very first Drupal site with it.
If you want to look, it's here: www.vivamassage.se

This is my very first try at building something with Drupal, so probably the site will change a bit when I
get the hang of it... this is sort of an alpha release... just saw that I cut the bottom off of the white board
at the top because I wanted the front page to fit on a small screen. Will have to replace that board...

But anyway, I'm happy that I got the site up and running and I think the theme is great. ;)

Hi,

Pleased to announce Drupal camp San Francisco (a.k.a BADCamp). This will be a single Saturday event at the SFSU downtown campus at 5th and Market. The event will be hosted by the Information Management Systems Association, iMSA, http://imsa.sfsu.edu .

http://groups.drupal.org/node/22458

The event will include an all day Introduction to Drupal tutorial for 120 people. This event is primarily addressing new Drupal users and registration will be specific to this tutorial. Please encourage new users to register for this event.

I'm sort of familiar with Drupal but haven't had too much experience. I wanted to start this discussion to ask basic/beginner questions.

A question I'm wondering about right now is the out-of-the-box speed of Drupal. I've installed 4, 5, and 6 (not all at once) and they seem to be slow, right out of the box, with no content or any modules. Why is this? Is it a Drupal problem or is my server not optimizing PHP, or something else?

Has anyone else experienced this?

What are your beginner questions?

I've been recently hired by a Public High School in downtown Boston and after displaying some level of technical proficiency, the school has decided to make me their official Drupal person with the first project being to overhaul the existing Alumni Website. I have never worked with a CMS and have made it clear to them that this is something I will have to learn...

Hi,

I just found out about the Boston Drupal Group meeting scheduled for 10/9/07. About a month ago I set up a Meetup group, Greater Boston Drupal Meetup, and I have scheduled our first meetup for 10/10/07. How embarrassing :-). I see your future dates so I will try and schedule Meetup dates accordingly. I will also let
the Meetup folks know about the Boston Drupal Group meetings.

Hi All,
It was great meeting a number of you at the CDMUG on the 23rd. Again, our company SkySite Property is looking to redesign our company website. I have jumped in to learn as much Drupal as I can and I have a lot of basic questions regarding navigation, taxonomy, themes, etc. I would benefit from sitting down with someone one on one to go over things directly. If anyone is interested in assisting us with this it will be greatly appreciated and we will compensate you for your time.
