Thursday, July 25, 2013 Presentation at BioRAFT instead of Drupal Self-Help Group Meeting
The next Drupal Self-Help Group meeting would ordinarily take place on Thursday, July 25, 2013. However, BioRAFT in Cambridge is hosting a Drupal presentation by Dani Nordin that night. So, the Drupal Self-Help Group will not meet that night. Instead, I suggest we attend Dani's talk in Cambridge. See https://groups.drupal.org/node/307508 for details.

Will the proposed 6.5% Massachusetts tax on web design and programming services hurt your business?
Freelance Drupal Developers concerned about proposed 6.5% new Massachusetts tax on Web Dev services
Are there any freelance Drupal developers in Mass concerned about this new proposed 6.5 % tax on our web development work?

Any thoughts about organizing a petition against this?
Or does everyone think this is a really great idea that will have no impact?

Barnraising / Code-a-thon October 10-11 Sturbridge, MA
I have working with the organizers of the Alliance for Community Media Northeast for their regional conference.
I pitched the idea to have a session dedicated to web development - possibly to include helping somebody get a CM site spun up from scratch. (not a migration from Facil or anything.)
So, the organizers are reserving a booth at the tradeshow. The event takes place on October 10-11 in Sturbridge, MA.
I'm throwing this out there to try and find a few folks who might want to come and help.
Also, any suggestions on structuring our time productively is most welcome.

No July meetup. August outdoor meeting?
Hi all. We are not having a meeting next week, on July 2. Have a happy 4th of July week.
In August, I'm hoping that we can meet somewhere outside, and not at MIT. If anyone is willing to host us in their backyard with a BBQ, that would be ideal. Otherwise, maybe we'll go to a local park. The idea is to return to regular meetups in September.

Local Drupal developer needed
All,
I have a client who has been running a community-type D6 website for a few years now. I started a few months ago to rebuild their site in D7, but am now realizing (a few months too late) that I don't have the time. I'd like to turn the project over to a developer local to Western Mass that can work with this company to complete the site and provide hosting and maintenance going forward.
The client wants to remain anonymous at this point, but the website contains the following modules:
- gmap
- views
- field permissions
- location
- private message
- salesforce
Drupal 7 Layout and Theming - this Thurs/Fri! at Isovera
Hello Everyone,
We have an atypically small group for the Drupal 7 Layout and Theming workshop this Thursday and Friday at Isovera in Waltham. What does this mean? It means if you want to try and get in, you would get some serious individual attention for your specific questions.
A good opportunity - but you need to register before noon on Weds (6/26).
To register, visit: https://www.isovera.com/event/training/drupal-7-layout-and-theming-1
Questions? Email ashenette@isovera.com

Hi folks - I live 3 miles from MIT and have several extra rooms if anyone needs a place to stay for D4D next weekend, or if they want to cut down on a longer commute from, say, Davis Square. Special consideration to anyone who promises to buy the first round at the next opportunity. -- Ed
