Washington, DC Drupalers

We are looking for a full-time experienced Drupal Developer who is experienced with CiviCRM, Multi-Installs, and would have no problem launching 10-20 Drupal sites in a week.

You WON'T be doing design work, just the heavy lifting of configuring and optimizing the sites. All sites will be similar so sharing 1 install should be very possible.

You should have experience with CiviCRM and experience creating membership sites is a plus. You must be able to work daily, work quickly, as well as work without constant attention and oversight.

Three months into planning, overcoming all kinds of odds and challenges (including the latest challenge of the Chinese firewall!) -- we are pressing ahead with ChinaOpen.

And on the eve of returning to China to iron out the logistic details, I would like to point you to http://www.china-osl.com and watch the Flash-video, which captures in essence, our message, spirit and goal of our ChinaOpen initiative.

In short, this summer, for 2-months, we will round up 50-200 Chinese students to work on Open-Source projects from worldwide. Currently in two tracks:
1. Drupal, and

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

Vivakos, Inc., a leading integrator of open source and open standards based Web applications, is seeking talented and motivated PHP / Drupal developers with 3+ years experience.

Hey guys,

Many thanks to our friends at Affinity Lab for letting us use their space! I not only had a great time, but was able to get a lot done while getting to know many of you better.

In fact, since I had such a good time, let's have another meetup! I think it'd be awesome if we had one on May 12th. There (may even have been / was) mention of one on May 12th, but figured I'd throw this out there just in case something's changed.

Well, ladies and gents, it's been a pleasure, and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

We're looking for a contractor for about 10-25 (estimated) hours of Drupal work.

The site in question is already deployed, but we have a growing list of tweaks and fixes (some CSS/HTML, some that might require Drupal hacking) and haven’t had the resources to satisfactorily address them.

If you're interested in helping out, please send me your contact details, rate, and any supporting information you'd like to provide (resume, work sample, personal site, etc). rkarchner@stratacomm.net

-Ross

At the last meet up, there was mention of a Drupal lab on April 30th at Affinity Labs in Adams Morgan. I rearranged my schedule just so I could attend.

Is this still happening?

If so, can someone who knows the arrangement post an event with the info sooner than later?

I would hate for folks to miss out due to a late posting.

Just my two cents,
Katrina

On Tuesday, May 13, Early Stage will host Jeff Whatcott in a discussion on future markets and trends for Drupal at TeqCorner in McLean, VA. This is the first of monthly meetings we plan to offer in Northern Virginia to discuss and share information on Drupal and other related technologies and trends.

Event description:

This is not a Drupal job per se, but all of the New America Foundation's sites are Drupal-based, so a "power user" who's familiar with and interested in the Drupal community would be ideal. Details below, and at http://www.newamerica.net/about/employment_opportunities/6956

Managing Editor, NewAmerica.net

The New America Foundation is seeking a managing editor for NewAmerica.net to help improve and expand our online presence. The ideal candidate will have a love of both journalism and technology, and be keenly interested in a wide range of public policy.

We have been pondering about how to best evangelize China into the Drupal community -- and in droves.

After operating in China for two years, and despite of our best trying such as holding the Drupal BootCamp event in Beijing http://www.drupalchina.org/node/3638, our biggest challenge is the practicality of getting Chinese acquainted with Drupal -- BEFORE -- we can even talk about having them participate into the DROP program, let alone directly contribute into module or theme writing.

This coming Monday on April 14th we'll hold the next Washington, DC Drupal Meetup at James Hoban's on Dupont Circle.

Last month we had a great conversation here about how we can make these meetups most productive for everyone. A few of us have put our heads together and came up with the idea of having two meetups a month with different focuses.

We are an online social issue film delivery LLC based in Virginia. Our URL is www.nomadsland.com.

We have been working for six months on our Beta design site to be assembled in Drupal 5.x using Amazon S3 for video content delivery of h264 progressive download files.

This project is very cutting edge as we will be combining offline social networking with HD video delivery.

Please take a careful look at our site and then contact us and please compose your response carefully. Based on this response we will send you our official detailed RFP document.

Becca Scollan posted briefly here about a student project where they are considering doing some usability testing with Drupal at the University of Baltimore, which has the possibility to be expanded further in the summer. There are some preparation time constraints that at this point are leading her group to do consider completely replicating the scenario that was done at UMN, and it would be nice if some of the other admin test cases and tasks were fleshed out a bit more so that some new ground could be explored and to streamline the process a bit better.

There was talk at the UMN Usability session at Drupalcon that it would have been beneficial to set up the users with an initial "easy win" task that boosted their confidence -- like setting up an "About Us" page with a primary navigation link at the top. Webchick also pointed out that there were a number of task ideas that were discussed on this wiki page that were not executed, and that are still listed there with strikeout markup.

The intention of this wiki page is to flesh out some potential admin-related user scenarios that could be used now with this potential opportunity at the University of Baltimore. It could also serve as a general brainstorming place to flesh out other usability scenarios to be tested with other usability lab time as it becomes available.

I was hesitant to post this under jobs because it isn't really a job per se, rather, it is an inquiry to see if there are any experienced drupal programmers out there who are interested in hearing about a community-oriented Web site I have been working on for several years now that I'm expecting to unfold into a full-time enterprise.

I'm essentially looking for someone who has a passion for online communities and the impact that social networking is having on different verticals within the private sector.

The year is off to a great start with three Drupal events already on the calendar.

First, just this past Sunday, Dave led a meet-up at DC Library, West End Branch. This was targted at folks that wanted a little more time infront of the computers than is possible at a bar and since the Silver Spring, December meet-up that Addison led went so well on the weekend and some folks from outside the District can't come in after work it seemed to fit a good niche.

Next up up we have lightening talks and beers after work next Tuesday the 22nd at Be Bar from 7pm until 9pm-ish. It's right by the convention center so will be easy for the after work crowd. Read more, get directions, and suggest a lighting talk topic that you want to present.

We also already have a date set for next month's meet-up, February 20th up in Adams Morgan. Mike Mccaffre has worked to get a big space at AffinityLab (this can hold a good 50+ people). There will be food and beer (let Mike know if you want to sponsor). This will also have lightening talks - so post ideas on Mike's thread.

Both Mike and Dave are going to be at the up coming meetup on the 22nd. If anyone else is interested in helping to organize events in DC please come so we can plan over a beer. This is going to be an awesome year.

Next Tuesday, the 22nd of January, we will start mixing Drupal with drinking like the old days. Come join us from 7pm until 9pm-ish at Be Bar (1318 9th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 p (202) 232-7450). It's right by the convention center so will be easy for the after work crowd to get to and with free wifi it will be great for lighting talks. We will bring a mini projector, so start thinking about quick 5 minute egg timer demos. Like normal, there will be 6 of them. The quick demos will start around 7:15 and just go for 30 minutes. Post your presentation ideas below!
