What Would Google Do?

I'm reading a fascinating and what seems like a very important book called "What Would Google Do?" by Jeff Jarvis.
I'm speculating that if our Drupal Group read this book and then discussed it, it may energize our group and bring in a lot of people to a meeting(s).

I'd like a response to one line on p. 44 which has a list of "simple and obvious rules for how to think of your internet presence.":
"Don't bury your content inside fancy content management systems that stow it away in databases Google can't get to."

Vermont Group Tent Revival?

Hi folks,

The Vermont Drupal Group has kind of fallen off the face of the earth. My apologies for diving off the cliff first -- we were so busy this spring and summer I thought my head was going to turn to dust. But I am reminded by several of you that it would be good to see if we could meet again before the end of the year. I'd be happy to host sometime in November or early December at Young Writers Project's new offices in the basement of Champlain Mill.

Please join the discussion on how this meeting might help you, what types of things would be good to discuss or share.

cheers

Next Meeting?

I just subscribed to this group and I'm looking forward to meeting you all. I'm new to Drupal working my way through the "Using Drupal" book. I've had a lot of computer consulting experience with networks, but haven't done much with web sites, yet. Is a meeting being planned?

Drupal Meeting during Alliance for Community Media NE Conference

Hi All,

The Alliance for Community Media NE (http://acm-ne.org/) is meeting in Burlington on the 21st and 22nd (Thurs and Fri next week). Please see http://groups.drupal.org/node/22117 post in the PEGspace group. I was thinking this would be a good chance for a Drupal meeting and for the folks in the ACM to get in touch with some of the folks working in community media in Vermont.

Drupal Meeting @ ACM-NE conference in Burlington

Breaking this idea out of email as this seems to be a better forum to discuss it.

"We had the last Vermont Drupal group meeting at our office in Burlington. Should we consider a Drupal meeting here while the Alliance for Community Media NE Conference is going on at Champlain College in Burlington, perhaps Thursday the 21st? It's a 15 minute walk between the College and our Office.

Help with Email Links to Protected Articles

Hello out there! I am having an issue that I am hoping someone out there has pointers for resolving. We have an email newsletter which we send to encourage customers to visit our site. In the email, we provide article teasers and links to the articles allowing people to "read more". The articles are protected such that people have to be a member to read them. The problem we are encountering is that customers click the link, login, and then they are routed to the home page rather than to the article.

Easy Problems are the Hard Problems

Special guest Paul Reinheimer takes an in-depth look at the easy/hard
parts of web applications.

Consider "Easy" problems in web applications, like login forms. On the
surface, terribly simple, slap some escaping functions on a query and
you're done! Well, not quite, what about brute force login attempts?
Locking accounts? Captachas!

Next Meet Up

With a few Vermonters at DrupalCon 2009 I'm thinking it might be time for another meeting. How would people feel about getting together in early April? Where should we meet and what do people think about an agenda?

Help a fellow Vermonter!

Good afternoon Vermonters. This is my first post to the group, but have been trolling about. I know my way around Drupal, but am not a programmer and can't talk intelligently (or at all) about php and sql...

So, here's an issue I'm facing that I could use some help or guidance on.

I'm building a site that will list some businesses. Each business will be a node, and the information provided will include their physical address. I would ideally like to include a Google map of their location.

VDUG Meeting 11.18.08

THIS BE A WIKI...

Thanks to Bear Code for chips, salsa and hospitality.

Small group. Much discussion on CSS and theming. (I'll let other folks fill in here.) Headlines ... Beauty of using Zen theme as a base for theme development because of the preprocess hook and its light structure .... Advantage of using Firebug to decipher CSS hierarchies...

Winter Drupal Camp(ing)

This email went out to about a dozen geeks and developers. I could try to set this up solo, but it would be a great way to welcome the Drupal Community to Vermont if the VT Drupal Group (and possibly local colleges/universities?) wanted to help with this. Thoughts from the group?

>
This is a follow up to a conversation we had at the end of this Summer's Drupal Camp 5.

We had discussed getting together sometime this Winter for a snow-y weekend of Drupal talk, Drupal coding, and Skiing Sledding Tobogganing, snow & hot cocoa and/or whatever!
