Deep South of Boston Meetup?
Is anyone down south of 128, west of 24, south 95 - ish?
I'm located down in Easton, Massachusetts and doing some work with Drupal 7 and community media. Some of the adjacent communities are as well.
Are there any deep south of Boston meetups?
Thanks,

Would any members being willing to take the lead in showing us how to get scripts working with module? This is not about how to program jQuery but how to utilize libraries.

Who is using VoIP Drupal?
So, we all know that VoIP Drupal facilitates the construction of Drupal sites that virtually pick-up the phone, make calls, record messages, send and receive text messages, run voice polls, and more.
I am using VoIP Drupal on a few of my sites and I am trying to figure out new ways to integrate it as part of my Web Development Services. I would like to offer a few ways for a client to integrate VoIP Drupal on their site as examples, and would love some feedback on how people are using VoIP Drupal...
- How did you find out about VoIP Drupal?

Drupal 7 Install Problems
Wanted to start writing this online somewhere.
I have run into some really funky and serious problem trying to install Drupal 7 on CentOS LAMP stack.
This has got me stumped. And about to drive me insane. The problem occured when 7.12 came out in conjunction with PHP 5.3.10 and reverting back to older versions has not fixed the problem.
Read moreDrupal/php vs Java/JSP
I am working on developing a website which includes lots of calculators (users of the website will fill out the form and my website will do some calculations and will present the numeric result and some diagrams). Some of these calculators require relatively intense computations (e.g., integration). I am considering two options:
1. Using drupal/php
2. Using java servlets
My preference is working with Drupal; however, my concern is that php might not be as efficient as java Servlets for computational purposes.
I would appreciate any suggestions or comments.
