We are looking to start the project asap, good renumeration for the right candidate. Work will be carried out offsite. London developer so we can meetup is preferable but not essential.

Following on from the announcement last month about http://www.anythingnorthy.com/, this month is going to be a theming night. We're going to start work on the theme basing it on the ideas of the group!

So bring along along your ideas, designs, images, complete themes if you like! but anything and everything related to a theme for our *n site

I am in the process of launching many Drupal based membership sites. I am looking for a person who can manage the day to day aspects of setting up these sites.

You need to be very familiar with the following:

Multi-Installs

Adding Content

Cloning An Install's DB, Modules to use as a base for other similar sites

CiviCRM (and its modules)

Integration with PayPal

These are two new African projects that I am about to sign off . The first is self-descriptive and it is the online edition of a magazine named IT Business in Africa which is meant to be a meeting hub for CEOs, CIOs and all ICT professionals in Africa . The second is a public appraisal website for Nigerian leaders.

Hi folks,

I'm a Drupal developer working in the North East of England (Middlesbrough) and I'm looking for other Drupal folk to get a group started. Please post if you're in the North East and fancy joining forces/meeting up etc.

It's the first Friday of the month, so if you're not too tired after yesterday's protesting/morris dancing/May pole rounding, come along to the Drupal Drop-In and share your skills, ideas and problems.

Any one coming to the Open Source Forum on May 14th

Seven days of web design and development events, taking place in central London from 26th May to 1st June, 2008.

A not-for-profit scheme, the aim of London Web Week is to promote the events within it, to raise the profile of the web industry and community both within London and further afield, and to highlight best practices in web design such as accessibility considerations.

I think it would be awesome to have a UK drupalcon in 2009 or 2010. Does anyone have any ideas for where we could have it?

I talking to Warwick University about how much it would cost to hold it there (1200 delegates max.) but has anyone else got any ideas?

Would there be people to help out with the organisation of it, and willing to find sponsors etc?

Answers on a postcard.

I thought it'd be perhaps good for us to introduce ourselves and see where people are, seeing as there 100+ members of the group.

I'm kelly, live in the midlands, near coventry. I'm reasonably new to drupal, not a developer (as in PHP), but build sites with it and enjoy working with it.

I hang out in the freenode #drupal-support IRC channel quite often, helping if I can.

I'm 29, currently not working, and have a number of interests, including music, science fiction/fantasy, history, reading, computing, gaming and crafts amongst other things.

The April Drupal Meetup in London will join with the first evening of Social Innovation Camp (http://sicamp.org). Come along and talk about how Drupal can help make the world a better place.

The camp is open to people from all faiths, so there will be some Joomla and Ruby types there. This will mean that talk will probably be a little more generic than usual, but it should still make for a very interesting night. Hey, why not hang around for the whole weekend.

This month we'll be taking a look at Drupal theming!

Inspired by matason's Drupal North West UK User Group meet-up in a couple of weeks (just a bit too far for me), I thought I'd arrange a Drupal meet-up in the Midlands. We'll try not to make it too formal - a chance to meet other Drupalisers in the Midlands, mix and mingle, etc, but we'll have a good Drupal work-out too!

Free admission - bring your Drupal questions, problems, showpieces and demonstrations.

The Digital team at Hachette-Filipacchi (UK) are currently running an alpha for a fun social-networking (Drupal-flash) application for teen magazine Sugar. We are actively seeking a ninja Drupal themer to help trouble shoot our Alpha by getting the theming right and the overall presentation layer as close to what has been designed.

Good news - the Drupal North West UK User Group starts from October!

Bringing a little bit of the Barcelona Drupal conference back home
Drupal NWUK will feature expert help, demonstrations, t-shirts (sorry - suitcase was full!), open

I'll be in Barcelona next week for Drupalcon and I've got a few missions.

I've got 2 websites I want to look at converting to Drupal:

1. http://www.kendra.org.uk

Kendra Initiative is a non-profit organisation that wants to see a more open and level content distribution system/marktetplace. We need quotes for building it in Drupal. We've got a skeleton project plan here:

http://www.kendra.org.uk/wiki/wiki.pl?KendraWebsiteUpdate

Any pointers, comments and questions would be useful now so that I could have answers for next week when we can meet in the flesh and discuss more.

Ebay style, table search results with CKK fieds and listing thumbnail

I am working on a classified ad site,

I built a custom content-type called advert.

I have managed to build the listing views using views, image field and image cache

I want a custom search box with tabbed options to either search the advert-node-type only or the rest of the site. So it will look like this:

|search| (adverts)(help)

the two tabs will be adverts and help

searching with the adverts tab selected will render only advert-node-type content

I have just completed my penultimate year of University in the UK, where I'm resident. I have another year to go until I obtain my masters, but ideally would like to work on Drupal projects until the next academic year starts (October.)

The Digital team at Hachette-Filipacchi (UK) are working on a cool rich internet application for their teen magazine Sugar which makes use of Drupal in new ways. We are actively seeking a ninja Drupal themer to help achieve our vision of creating a unique one of its social networking application by doing what it takes to get it there from hands-on coding to supporting and providing guidance to our Tech team of experienced Drupal & CSS developers.

Synergy New Media is a London based Drupal development house and is now seeking to add a new member to our team.

The post

The post is initially for 6 months full time, but may possibly become permanent. You will be based in our offices in Stoke Newington N16 though we will allow remote working where possible. You will have full time Drupal responsibilites but will also have the opportunity to represent the company in face-to-face client meetings and in response to telephone call.

The person

You will have a suitable degree-level qualification.

Our monthly gathering of people who are actively building projects with Drupal. Meet other people who use Drupal, and share your successes (and your pain.)

These events take place on the seconds Wednesday of each month, and will cover the more technical elements of Dupal configuration, theming and development.

We're excited to announce that the next Drupal Drop In session will be held at the Imagination Group's European headquarters, a jaw droppingly beautiful office space in the centre of London.

As well as a great space, wireless connection and projector, Imagination will also generously be providing drinks and nibbles for the evening.

So if you're interested in finding out why everyone from I.B.M. to Greenpeace is using Drupal, please register on upcoming.org to attend.

Any other Drupallers in the Nottingham/shire area, or even East Midlands?

As far as I know the only UK Drupal meet-up appears to be in London. I've seen a few mentions of Drupal users being based in the midlands and north of the UK but wondered how many would actually be interested in a regular Drupal North meet-up?

Is Manchester central enough for such an event? It could be piggy backed on the existing web developer group meeting in the city centre.

Hi UK Drupallers

I am wanting to install the Image Enhanced Scaling module. The module developer says, "You'll find calls to exec() in both imagemagick.inc.php and image_enhanced_scaling.module."

I cannot run exec() on my existing host - it returns a "exec() has been disabled for security reasons" error. My host confirmed, "this is due to the way it works and the protection on the server. you need to change the ImageMagic to GD as this works fine with all image scripts I know."

I approached www.site5.com (a well-known Drupal host) who said they also do not allow calls to exec().

The next London Developer Meetup will be dedicated to bug squashing. More info at Http://www.drupal.org.uk/node/161

I was interested if there were other members in the Norfolk/Suffolk area

we are based here

LinuxWorld Conference & Expo 2006, London

25th - 26th October 2006
Olympia 2, London, UK

Join us at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo 2006, London to learn more about Drupal. We will be present at the .Org village alongside Mozilla Europe, Joomla, Debian, Gentoo, OpenBSD and a lot of other great projects.

Many thanks to UKLinux.net who organise and sponsor the .Org village for selecting Drupal as a featured project again this year.

I am pushing Drupal as the "standard" CMS for doing Science Fiction Fan community websites in the UK. Although Fans like doing their own thing they can see the advantages of using something like Drupal and I've started with http://www.Eastercon.org/ and http://www.SFPoD.net/ (Science Fiction Picture of the Day)

Anyway - if there are Science Fiction fan Drupal users interested in helping out, or wanting help with their websites then give me a shout via the Drupal.org website or http://community.livejournal.com/gopherit/

In case you missed this, there's a free two day Drupal training workshop being run in Birmingham on 27/28 July 2006 by OpenAdvantage.

Details of the latest drupal meeting in London is at [www.drupal.org/node/69562]

If you've not seen it already, there's a review of Drupal in the recent PCPro magazine. For more info go to:
