Willamette Valley / Western Oregon

Hi there, I'm new-ish to Drupal, and have a multi-media design company in Eugene, Oregon. I have two potential projects coming up this summer, and I'm looking to contract/collaborate with someone(s) who is a drupal developer, and all around nice person.

Both sites will have an emphasis on community -- so friending, rating posts, and users being served up personalized content depending on what they have expressed interest in.

I'd prefer to find someone in the Eugene or Portland area, but, it's not essential that you are an Oregonian.

If you're interested, please send me:

I'm looking to get more involved with Drupal, I've tried to carpool with a friend to the Portland, Oregon Drupal Users Group meetings, but he's been unable to go, so I'm taking matters into my own hands. I'm a student at OSU and lack a car.

If anyone is going to any of the Drupal Users Group meetings from the Corvallis area and wouldn't mind swinging by campus before heading up to meetings, I'm more than happy to provide with help with gas money.

Thanks,

Nielsonm

I went up to the monthly Portland Drupal User Group meeting last Wednesday, and it was great. I got to meet some really knowledgeable people and learn more about the Drupal community. I'm new to Drupal and I found the few hours I spent at this meeting as helpful as many hours reading stuff online.

I am hoping that some one here can help...

I need to implement a SOAP service and i cant seem to find any "how to". i see that there is a services module, and a soap server, and i understand the "normal" application of the simple object access protocol via php, java etc (building a custom site, no problems )... but how to go about implementing it in drupal 6 ?

please, please i need a hand, as there is NO documentation on this subject.

cheers,

My goal is to build some community websites. Features include ratings, link sharing, user profiles, group calendars, etc.

Drupal provides much functionality out of the box. Modules extend that functionality.

With Drupal I can go in the right direction, but I am having lots of difficulty customizing the solution to meet my needs.

We are building a multi-site Drupal network and will modify and integrate modules that have not been done in this fashion before.
