25% Off Offer for Open Web Vancouver 2009
We Drupaler's of the Pacific Northwest have been given a special offer for Open Web Vancouver 2009 on June 11/12. The first 10 people using the discount code: DRUPALISTA at registration get 25% off on their ticket.
This is going to a great conference. Not only are Drupal notables like Angie Byron, Karoly Negyesi, and James Walker presenting, there's many presentations relevant to what's happening in the Drupal community. There's presentations on mobile technology, mashups and cloud computing, and Vancouver Drupal's favorite son, Boris Mann, is speaking on semantic web. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention presentations by locals Rick Vugteveen and Djun Kim.

Official Layout Studio Theme
Hi Everyone,
We’ve almost completed the demo and documentation websites for the Layout Studio development theme. This brings us one step closer to having it officially released on drupal.org. Have a look, and please feel free to send me your comments if you see any spelling mistakes or errors.
You can also leave comments on the documentation site.
Until we get approved as a Drupal Project, you can download the theme on the documentation site.
Thanks,
Rene

Drupal Support Group/Social?
Hi everyone,
My name is Phil, I'm a software engineering coop student at UVic. I'm currently on a work term for the BC institute of Cooperative Studies. My main task is to develop a site using Drupal 5. We recently lost our Technology Director, leaving me with no technical supervisor. I have been trying to jump through the initial learning curves as fast as possible; however, I have been finding it slow and tedious by my self.
Drupal Social #6
Hey there fellow drupal enthusiasts!
We are gathering again at Bart's, and may migrate to the Doubles Lounge across the hall in the Executive Inn. The Lounge can be quite a bit less noisy and usually more space, plus it has that nifty Victorian darkwood lounge atmosphere.
I generally show up around 6:30 for a bit of vittles, they have great food and a number of local beers on tap.
Some of the things that may be discussed are:
- Experiences/Storires from Drupal Camp Victoria 2008 (#DCVIC08) Link
- Switching to Drupal 6, explain the pain/glory
- Possible ideas/suggestions for #DCVIC09
Transport to dcvic08
Hi
If you can walk on the ferries, let me know what your ETA is and i can pick up groups of 6 at a time and shuttle folks to town. I will also be available for transporting people to the ferry at the end of the camp.
