Welcome to the Drupal Ottawa User Group. We will use this group to develop the Drupal community in Ottawa, to plan local events (DrupalCamps, informal get-togethers, etc.) and to share success stories and planned / completed drupal implementations. Public servants (this is Ottawa after all) interested in deploying bilingual / Common Look & Feel compliant governmental web sites will find colleagues in this group facing the same challenges related to the introduction of drupal in the federal government.

Looking for local (hourly) support - Rules/Webform Rules
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong area... I'm new to Drupal Groups and this seemed like an appropriate area to post this.
Hi,
I'm looking for some on-demand/hourly support and/or training specifically related to the Rules module and the Webform Rules module. I run a Drupal site for a non-profit organization, so budgets are tight. Because of this, I can only really work with on-demand support providers that are willing to help out on an hourly basis (as opposed to a full service agreement/commitment).

Image Gallery on a Page
I'm wondering what site builders are using to create a gallery on a page of content? Seems to be one of those things that's easy with core Wordpress (but not without issues there too!)
Browsing around I see lots of tutorials that create an "image gallery" content type.
I'd like to include galleries in regular pages of content and be easy for the end user to create and add to page.
Node Gallery looks popular with 9,000 sites using it.
https://www.drupal.org/project/node_gallery
I'll start there. Just curious.
