Not everyone I know is on the Drupal development mailing list so I thought I'd pass along this interesting bit of research that webchick compiled. It's a number of Drupal statistics including number of active installations, most popular modules, number of Drupal downloads, etc.

Read it here.

Hi all. I'm new to the Drupal scene. I'm using Drupal for a community website as my master's project in citizen journalism. Does anyone know a good programmer familiar with Drupal in Logan or anywhere in northern Utah? Thanks.

Agenda

• Introduction -- 15 minutes: Introduce people (since we are still not too familiar with each other), pass out anything (agenda, presentation outlines, etc.), and any other preliminary activities.

• Presentation 1 -- 15 minutes: Kyle/Drupal optimization how to use css/javascript aggregation, opcode caching, memecached, and other tricks to optimize your Drupal install's performance.
  5-10 min Q&A

• Presentation 2 -- 15 minutes: Name/Topic
  5-10 min Q&A

• Presentation 3 -- 15 minutes: Name/Topic
  5-10 min Q&A

As discussed in the Saturday meeting, I was going to set up a wiki page for topics. However, I remembered we had set one up before.
http://groups.drupal.org/node/9762

So, just a reminder for all. You can put your name in any given topic, and place new topics on that wiki page.

My two cents. If you are a leader for a topic, then set-up a time for your presentation. I believe if we have a topic and a time set, people will come. But, when we are relying on people to commit to a time for an unknown topic, it seems harder to get people interested.

I'm hoping to get some help from the group on this. My last request was a little off the Drupal Subject, this one should do a little better.

I'm developing a site for an Applied Technology College that have a Jobs section where jobs will be posted and associated with each program. I'd then like each program to display a block with all of the jobs pertaining to that program. Any ideas? I thought this would be something very straight-forward, but it's not as easy as I thought.

From Angie Byron's blog: And finally, on the "Holy crap, that's crazy" side of things, new contributor Dario Battista Ghilardi (ingo86) will be whipping up a Security scanner plugin for SimpleTest to automatically check sites for XSS and other vulnerabilities. And Kyle Mathews (kyle_mathews) wants to enable Memetracking in Drupal, for all your RDF and machine-learning needs.

Just wanted to let the group know that I launched my personal Drupal site last week. My main focus is to have a blog where I can share experiences with Drupal and anything else having to do with web development. My other focus is to be able to have a place for my clients (the few that I have) to login to submit feature requests or changes that need to be made on their sites. I'm using the case tracker module to track those, and am hoping that it will help keep requests from my clients stay more organized. OK, that's enough talking... here's the site:

For our last meet-up that we were organizing I put an item on there to discuss a shopping cart alternative for Ubercart. Since then they released their first stable version of the software. It's called Magento, and it is an open source project similar to Drupal (obviously not as big as Drupal yet, though). This came up on my news feed today:

So I contacted SLC Public Library about reserving a room for Sat March 29th, and they don't have any openings till late in the afternoon. Apparently if you want to meet there you need to book pretty early. I think our options are:

• Meet another Saturday, perhaps April 12th, and reserve the library now.
• Meet somewhere else.

I know Andrew offered the conference room at DATC, up in Kaysville. Are people willing to drive north for that? It's only an hour from Provo. Or do we have any other offers on places to meet for a group of 10-15 people?

Since the poll only allows one option to be selected, I thought I'd just set up a wiki page for this discussion. Please add your name to the discussion topics you're interested in, or add new ones if they're not here. Also, if you're willing to lead the discussion please note that by your name.

Drupal 6 (migration, new features, adoption, module updates, etc...)

A new website just opened to the public today called DrupalModules.com. Go check it out!

There are some very cool features, something that the Community has needed for a while.

Hey guys,

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind me brainstorming with you but I figured:
1) this has proven to be a collection of bright Drupal heads.
2) i may actually get a response here ... no such luck in the Drupal forums.

Anyway, I'm looking for a way to expose the calendar block (from one site) as a block on a static HTML site.

I'm thinking I might have to write a module that periodically dumps the calendar HTML into a static file that can be included using a server-side include or javascript.

Any one else have a better idea?

Thanks,
Kevin

I came across this today in my RSS reader:

http://elearning.psu.edu/projects

Talks about a few modules that they are getting ready to release in the next little while. Course Designer being one of them and Assignment Studio is another one. I didn't have a ton of time to look through the site but after watching a few of the screencasts it looks pretty promising.

Check it out...

I was thinking we could start discussing what we want in our next meeting (March hopefully). A couple ideas that were discussed quite a bit were multisite configuration, SCORM, and probably more that Im just spacing right now. A couple of ideas that I have thought could be helpful as well are Drupal 6, and AJAX in Drupal.

Hey Utah Drupallers,

During Saturday's meetup we all thought it would be nice if everyone would update their profiles (here on groups.drupal.org) so we can network and share opportunities .

So if you haven't already, click the "My account" tab above and let us know a little about ya! While you're at it, upload a pic -- It would be nice to put faces with the names :-)

Thanks all,
Kevin

Just wanted to let the group know about some Drupal SCORM news that got in my e-mail tonight. I'm not really sure what to make of it because the site doesn't contain much information. The only info I found was that it was a SCORM Player build on Flex 3 (Adobe) for Drupal. Anyway, here's the link to check it out:

I'm new to the Utah Drupal Group as of today and have reviewed past articles. I'm down in Spanish Fork and would love to see how many users are down here in Utah County. I saw the poll and saw there were quite a few. I think it's great to get have a big meeting every so often, but would anyone like to meet up that is from Utah County?

The Utah Drupal group got together for an introductory meeting on Saturday, February 9. It was a good turnout especially when compared to attempts to meet in years past.

We were all pretty impressed with the amount of Drupal talent in the state. Many of the attendees are making a living managing Drupal sites for companies, educational institutions, and political parties.

I mainly wanted to see how this event posting looked, and to make this an official meeting.

Parking on State Street (don't think it is metered on weekends) or behind the coffee shop. WaltHaas left directions on http://groups.drupal.org/node/8225

If anyone is interested in contacting me about this meeting email me at tapocol [at] gmail [dot] com, besides that hope to see you there.

I've just recently moved to UT and am looking for a little group collaboration for some of my Drupal projects. Is anyone interested in setting up a meeting once a month to share ideas, code review, etc...?

Thanks,
Chuck

This position is located in New York City. We will pay relocation expenses for the right candidate.

Inc.com and FastCompany.com, two of the fastest-growing and most prominent business web sites in the U.S., have a position open on their technology staff. We are looking for a senior candidate who has extensive experience with the Drupal content management platform.

Hi - just joined this group, and am a Drupal newbie. I am involved with a new startup company in Salt Lake City and we're considering using Drupal for part/all of our web presence. Would love to hear about other users' experiences. Also, I may be in the market to hire a contractor to help us develop our site - anyone out there interested?

looks like we have 10 people that have signed up - let's meet. july 9th, 5:30 - 7:00. cocoa cafe 900S 300E in Salt Lake City.

Building a site of referral services for a charity/social organization.

I’ll be using Drupal 5.1.
I believe that most everything can be done with the existing modules:
Subscribed, IM_Paypal, Fivestar or Jrating, Advertisment, Classified Ads, Job Search, Survey.

Also think I could get by with one of the available themes.

Site only needs one module complete to go live. Other modules/services will be added after.

Looking for contractor. Not a full time position.

Contact me at mark.bisaillon@masonicreferral.com or 630-839-9017 to learn more and to provide a quote.

All right, that makes seven of us so far. I didn't know about this group, and have just created one for Utah. I'll probably delete it.

Anyway, anyone working on installing modules and customizing Drupal 5? I'm starting on it, and we could share ideas and tips.

Cheers!

let's meet at cocoa caffe at 900S and 300E at 5:30pm

Looks like there's 3 of us for now... are you all good with meeting up at Cocoa Cafe at 900S and 300E? They have wireless. Any other ideas for places to meet?
