So, setup has been daunting, but i am still determined

all day now, i have been trying to get everything "server side" setup in ubuntu, and have had absolutely no luck at all. first, i installed xampp for linux, which used to be Lampp in a previous relaese; it was horrible. there was no way to actually reconfigure apache, or redirect the localhost with it actively running. so then it was onto lullabot for some assistance. ah-ha, i found a video which was great. i uninstalled xampp and was prepared to follow along on a fresh setup. so i opened synaptic, installed apache, php5, mysql, etc. and all went great, or so i thought.

Orlando Meeting Wrapup and the Future

About a dozen Drupal developers met at Orlando Public Library yesterday to discuss Drupalcon Boston and future meetups in Orlando.

I gave a presentation about Drupalcon Boston covering Dries' keynote, the future of Drupal, and a quick summary of some of the sessions I attended. The rest of the time was spent with discussion introducing ourselves to each other and planning for future meetings and what we need to do to for the Florida group to gain some momentum.

Son of DrupalCon in Miami?

Since there's at least 6 of us that made it up to Boston's DrupalCon event, there's no better excuse to have a meetup to share the wealth with those that couldn't manage the trip.

The Knight Foundation played a very prominent role at DrupalCon, and Studio:Module started a Design Outreach program aimed at making Drupal more accessible to a broader user base, particularly in the creative field. Watch http://designfordrupal.org over the next few months for developments.

I propose a Thursday night at Novecento in Brickell or at Books and Books in the Gables.

Any takers?

Drupal training

This is to see what sort of interest there may be in the South Florida community for setting up training programs for Drupal in South Florida. Personally, I'd be interested in teaching a theming workshop and an introduction to Drupal for those of you just starting out.

If you're interested in setting up a workshop, please post to this thread. If you know someone that's interested that's just starting to explore Drupal, please forward this post or encourage them to join the Miami group.

Thanks!

Tampa Drupal Meeting

Start: 
2008-03-01 15:00 - 17:00 America/New_York
Event type: 
User group meeting

Now that Drupal 6 has been released, I thought I would suggest another local Tampa Drupal Meeting for Saturday, 1 March, from 3-5 p.m. at the Panera Bread in New Tampa. This location has easy access from the I-4, I-75, and the I-275.

I thought we could discuss any issues or problems we're having with Drupal 6, and/or our other Drupal projects. If you're having trouble with anything, post it here and we can all discuss it when we meet.

Tampa Drupal Meeting

I guess the All Florida Drupal Meeting in Gainesville didn't get off the ground, so I thought I would suggest a local Tampa Drupal Meeting for Saturday, 1 December from 3-5 p.m. at the Panera Bread in New Tampa. This location has easy access from the I-4, I-75, and the I-275.

Everyone in the All Florida Drupal Group is invited, but I know it's a long drive for some. I'd really like to at least get out the local Drupalers in the Tampa area.

Need PHP help

I'm currently working on a site for a client. I do my work for him in trade for credit against what he sells so no money is exchanged.
I'm terrible with PHP (read, I know nothing about it). I could really use some help with a request he made of me and was hoping someone here might volunteer some time. I'd be glad to pass some credit along to you for your time if you like inverts of any sort.
