Appnovation Technologies (www.appnovation.com) is a Vancouver based Drupal development company. We are located at 560 Beatty Street, a few seconds away from the Stadium sky train station.

We are seeking a full time in-house PHP/Drupal developer for a permanent position with full medical/dental benefits after the probationary period.

The developer must have at least 3 years of PHP/web development experience with knowledge of Drupal. Strong knowledge of CSS especially in the area of cross-browser compatibility is also crucial.

Knowledge of jQuery is a plus.

Hi folks! I've posted slides [PDF, 573K] and an example module [11.5K, Drupal 5] from my talk on integrating the Sphinx search engine with Drupal.

Hi Folks,
thanks for coming out to DrupalCamp Vancouver this past Friday and Saturday. It was great to see such a big turnout. I should give big thanks to Ariane, Dale, and Raincity's own DaveO for organizing this event.

Here are the files from the talk:

I've uploaded the slides for my presentation on staging & deployment from this weekend.

Thanks so much to all the dcv08 organizers, and to everyone who came to my talk. It was really great and I look forward to further discussions!

See some of you at DrupalCamp Seattle!

The hounds of Drupal Camp Vancouver are unleashed and the event is already generating great interest. Along with Ariane and Dale, we've formed an organizing committee to kick things off and now encourage you to earn your Drupal community stripes by helping out.

Here's how:

• Join this Drupal Camp Vancouver group - easy right
• Blog about the event, tell your friends, tell your spouse you won't be home cause you are geeking out
• Choose a task to head up or assist with (note your choice and skillz on the wiki)
• Encourage your boss to sponsor Drupal Camp Vancouver (pledge your support on wiki) - if you are a boss, go directly to wiki and kick down some cash and encourage your wisest employees to sign-up and present when the time comes

Note: We do need some sponsorship scratch to pay space deposits etc. so if you are convinced of the benefits of sponsorship and are ready to write a cheque, please contact my organizing colleague, Dale or Ariane. {Special Thanks to the early signers of the declaration Social Signal, Affinity Bridge, Raincity Studios, happyfrog.ca, Strutta ...} Someone ping Sun and ask for money too please.

I am leaving to Mexico for vacation funtimes in about an hour so try not to break the Interwebs while i am gone ;-) Go Drupal Campers! and thanks for your support.

PS Out of towners are very welcome, we'll set up some crash space and hotel info-sharing closer to the time!

Okay just an awesome Idea that came to me the other night..
Why do we all collectively make others more rich by paying them over-inflated housing costs?
Can't we band together as drupallers! In our own house.

The ad reads.. 10 Awesome Drupal Enthusiasts seeks large house.
-In a central Vancouver location.

I'm thinking cheap rent, save like students.
And do house Projects, build a name and eventually pay rent with the money earned doing development work.
Yes this involves a lot of trust and freespirit, and I'm willing to do most of the work.. Who's with me.

Hey all,

So a few of us were chatting after the meetup about the desire for a more extended Drupal geekout, and thinking about possibilities for a DrupalCamp in town this summer... Someone was saying that they thought there was one being organized for April, but didn't really know anything more about it. Does anyone know if this is true and if so who is organizing?

And if not, since the spring is already so jam-packed, I am wondering if it might be a better idea to organize one for a little later on, perhaps June-ish?

Info? Ideas? Input? Please post here!
