DrupalCamp Boston: Offer/Find a Ride
Hi everyone,
Riffing off of the NH Group's Rideshare thread: http://groups.drupal.org/node/202663, I wanted to create a space to coordinate rides to DrupalCamp this Saturday from the Greater Boston Area. I'm guessing stating whether you're offering or needing a ride, your departure point and whether you would like people to chip in for gas/you're willing to chip in for gas would be some of the relevant points to bring up.
To start:
I need a ride departing from anywhere in the greater Boston area (accessible by bike or T) and am willing to pay for gas.

Read morePackaging Drupal Installation for handoff.
I (a Drupal rookie) have been working on a site for another department for several months now.
They would like me to turn the project over to their developers.
Is there a standard process for packaging/documenting a Drupal installation to deliver to another team?
Do you just dump the whole directory and database?
Thanks for any suggestions.
George
