Welcome to the Austin Drupal Users Group!
As of April 2025, we are no longer posting events in this group (there are too many places to post events and groups.drupal.org is dying a slow death).
TxDUG / Texas Drupal organizers are collecting contact info for Drupalers in Texas so we can stop being reliant on other platforms (here’s looking at you Meetup.com) for communicating announcements. Please fill out this form so we can email you about Drupal events in Texas (you can choose which regions).
Please join us in the #austin-texas channel on Drupal Slack. If you aren't already on Drupal Slack, join here.
We continue to post our meetups in Drupal.org's Community Events section.
For now, RSVPs for our meetups are in our Meetup Group, but this might change in the future. Best to be in our Slack channel or on our email list.
Hope to see you at an upcoming meetup!

New to TX and the group
Hi all, I have been in manufacturing most of my life and sideline as a musician but have build a few sites using drupal. Currently I'm using it at work to help sales and with our engineering projects. I have used the webform module to build a sales tracking and engineering tracking site for us. I need to make it so I can archive individual submissions in my view (table). The edit/delete links are already there but I would like to have an archive link next to each entry so when the task is complete, the entry isnt visible (unless we need to pull up a report).

Drupal driven radio station management platform
I rode with someone from Austin on the train from the airport to San Francisco a few years back for DrupalCon who was interested in running a radio station on Drupal. Is that you? I think I understand the things we may or may not have been discussing now :), and my laptop doesn't squeal the way that subway did. Did you get somewhere with it?
Thanks

Help make Drupal 8 training available for everyone
Hi all,
Drupal 8 is getting close now with about 40 critical bugs left: https://drupalreleasedate.com/chart/samples. It's possible that we'll see a release in September: https://drupalreleasedate.com/
Our OSTraining team would like to make sure that as many people as possible can use Drupal 8.
However, many new Drupal 8 users will need training, which can be expensive and difficult to find.
So, we're running a campaign to give everyone free access to the very best Drupal 8 training.
The campaign link is: http://kck.st/1Eu07Jw
Many thanks for checking it out
Read moreFrontend Performance Training with Four Kitchens
The best website is a fast website. Users are proven to be happier and more willing to spend time and money on your site when it loads fast and responds quickly to their actions. Adding performance to the ever-growing list of development responsibilities can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be.
In this full-day training we'll cover development best practices to make your Drupal site fast, making the frontend as performant as possible. We will discuss how to set and maintain a performance budget, which helps prioritize site performance over the life of a project. Finally, we will explain the basics of workflow automation, which helps a team stick to a performance budget during development, and serves as a warning system when heavy, slow features are added to a site.
This is a paid training, so you must RSVP via Eventbrite.

Group to work through Pro Drupal 7 Development
Hi folks,
I'm interested in working through the Pro Drupal 7 Development Book to get more savvy at developing modules. Anyone else interested in spending some time doing this? I think it would be more fun to do this in a small group. I would need to do it on Tuesday evenings or else maybe carve out some lunchtimes or setup some other creative schedule. I have my kiddo on Wednesday nights and I teach a class on Thursdays so the usual dojo times are tough for me.
Drupalcon Austin Ticket - $200
Sorry to post this here but I didn't realized how tough it would be for people to find accommodation for next week this short of notice.
One member of my team can't make it kind of last min so if anyone is interested please get back to me before and I can get the name changed. It's on ebay at the moment.
