Pacific North West Summit
UPDATE: http://pnwdrupalsummit.org/ is online, go register!
Hey all - I figured it was about time to get a planning page up for anyone who's planning on going down to Seattle in October for the Summit. There's been a little delay in getting their separate event site up, but it will be up shortly with much more info, for now there is a little info here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/24368.

October Meetup
Join us at 6:30pm on Thursday October 29, 2009 at Appnovation Technologies (note, different location this month) for the Vancouver League of Drupalers October meeting. This month's feature presentation: Information Architecture for Drupal - A User Based Approach with Vanessa Turke. Implementing a fresh design or new CMS without giving some significant thought to the organization of the actual content of the site can be a costly mistake – a new look or a new system is not a fix for a poorly-structured website with boring content! Vanessa discuss hows how some careful planning at the beginning of the process can help.
We'll also have a case study on the newly relaunched Vancouver Observer by Dave Egan and discuss doing a Vancouver Drupal Camp in 2010.
Date: Thursday October 29, 6:30pm
Location: Appnovation Technologies, L200-560 Beatty Street, Vancouver, BC [Map]
Cost: There is no charge and all are welcome
For those who don't need to leave right away there's typically a more social discussion at a local pub afterwards.

Use one compound field or many fields, which is the good practice?
I got a problem when developing a compound field (Drupal 6, cck 2). It has an Imagefiled, a few textarea/textfield/checkboxes, etc.
I realize that I must allow users to upload multiple images. Unfortunately, the compound field as an entire field can be set to allow "unlimited" number of values , but not the individual field (the image field) in the compound field. I step into module files and database and did some research, and found it is hard to achieve this by using "Drupal Way".

Drupal-focused Work Space Coop
While on our way to the Pacific North West Summit Ben, Steve and I had a discussion re: the possibility of creating a Drupal-focused work space coop in Vancouver. I talked to some people at the conference about it too and no one told me it was a dumb idea (or were they just polite?). So, I am interested in opening a discussion on the topic to a wider audience and see if would be something desirable and feasible.
What would be this workspace?
