Waterloo Region

Hi Folks,

Do you know of any large Drupal Hosting businesses with Data Centres also located in Canada?

Thanks.

The monthly Waterloo Regional Drupal Users Group will be on the 15th of October.

As a newcomer to the group I've volunteered to provide a bit of an overview of how GATE Village is put together as way of introduction -- some of the lessons learned, the lessons yet to learn, the innovations we've developed and the future direction.

I have assumed a drupal site and do not know how to maintain the security updates. I'd like a mentor to help me out. I do have some familiarity with linux/unix.

Avatar is growing!

If you can rattle off the $op cases for hook_nodeapi as if you're singing the national anthem, we need your help.

Primary duties will be upgrades and ongoing improvements to an extranet that relies heavily on the Date, Location, and Webform modules, with some other oddities and some big chunks of custom code thrown in for good measure. This role may also include occasional work on other, smaller sites, and has definite potential to evolve into a full time position.

I'll be going over the basics of version control and how you can use Subversion to greatly simplify site development and deployment - even for those not doing any custom code.

Topics covered will include:

• What Version Control is
• What common website development and deployment problems version control can solve
• Step-by-step demonstrations of how to use Subversion to modify, manage, and track changes to your website
• Some information about how to structure your repository and how to maintain it
• Using Subversion to deploy updates to Drupal and contributed modules

If there are any other topics that there is interest in, please post them here and I'll be glad to add them in.

See everyone tomorrow!

Right now at Radio Waterloo Inc (CKMS-FM) we are working with joomla but we're looking to make the switch to drupal pending our work with the folks at vocalo.org. We have a tentative agreement that we're going to work together to foster similar awesomeness they made happen in Indiana/Illinois right here in the Region of Waterloo.

Hello all.

There is currently plans for having the DrupalCamp for Toronto in summer. Three possible dates have been floated around.

Please chime in with your favorite date in this poll on the Toronto DUG group

http://groups.drupal.org/node/22086

Do this before Saturday please.

For our June meeting, a few members of the group will show us cool things they have done in the course of developing web sites for their own or for clients.

We have Lana and Jen doing a 30 minute segment each showing all of us challenges they faced, things they learned, and other cool stuff that will be helpful.

We can use another person to fill another 30 minutes, or two for 20 minutes each. It can be anything from a nice looking theme, several contributed modules put together in a unique way, or anything else that you are proud of doing and wish to let others know how it was done.

The message below is from Andre Molnar, a long time fellow member of the Toronto DUG.

Please spend a few minutes to vote for him. We will then make him come over to Kitchener and show us the car with the Druplicon logo on it (and do a presentation too)!

Greatings Toronto Drupal folk,

I'm not sure how many of you might have heard about the fact that I'm entered into a contest to win a Nissan Cube. Maybe you've seen my tweets or caught it on Drupal Planet.

Basically, 50 'creative Canadians' out of a group of 500 will be given a Cube for keeps.
