Florida Drupal Diver Pin Distribution
Hey everybody,
The bulk of the Florida Drupal Diver pins are in the process of being distributed to the local meetup organizers. If you'd like to get your hands on a pin, then get out to your local Drupal meetup!
- Brevard - I handed some out at last night's meetup and will have them at meetups going forward until we run out!
- Broward - Jay Epstein has pins to distribute at the next meetup.
- Orlando - Andrew Riley will have pins starting today to distribute at Orlando Drupal co-working and future Orlando meetups.
Orlando Florida - Drupal Coworking Friday, June 28th

Read morePost all Florida meetups on meetup.com?
Hey everybody,
Erik Bladwin (yes, that's the proper spelling as far as I'm concerned) and I recently took part in a DrupalCon Portland session entitled <a href="https://portland2013.drupal.org/session/making-drupal-meetups-and-events-rock>Making Drupal Meetups and Events Rock. As part of our preparation we, along with the other panelists, set up an online survey about Drupal meetups. One of the more surprising datapoints that came out of it was over 50% of the 161 respondents indicated that meetup.com was how people learned about their meetups. Perhaps we're missing an opportunity to grow the Florida community even more.
I know that in Brevard County, we're not using meetup.com. I'm not sure about the other local meetups around the state, but I think it's time that we make sure that we're all reaching as many Florida Drupaleros as possible.

Job Solicitation from Stanford Highwire
I don't know if anyone else received a job offer from Stanford through their Drupal.org profile, but I was curious why the choose me, since as far as I know I haven't ever dealt with Stanford.
I emailed "Val" and asked why she picked me, and her answers were a little vague.
I am slightly suspicious here since I couldn't get a straight answer as to why me particularly.
Regardless, if they are legit they are looking for some developers. Personally, I'm not interested and it sounds a little fishy.

CANCELLED: Orlando Meetup: Valencia East
Orlando does not currently have a regular monthly meetup, but we could if a few people step up. With December, February, and DrupalCamp in April, we are at least on a bi-monthly schedule.
Nobody else has offered to pick a time and place for the Drupal meetup - one of our members, Tyme, got in touch with a Valencia teacher named Rob McCaffrey, who has reserved a room on the East Campus, Building 1, room 345 (on Econ Trail between Colonial Dr and the 408). At our last meetup we discussed possibly having meetups on the 3rd Monday, but Rob was not available this week.

Just Launched: ModuleNotes.com!
ModuleNotes.com is a project designed to help designers and non-developers overcome the steep Drupal learning curve.
I created this project as a place where people can discover new modules with descriptions explaining exactly what the module does in simple terms. Whenever possible, ModuleNotes will include demos, tutorials, and screencasts collected from around the web or specifically produced for ModuleNotes.
Check it out here:

DrupalCamp 2013 Coding for a Cause Call for Committee Volunteers.
During last year's Florida DrupalCamp, we built three websites for three non-profit Central Florida based agencies.
I'd like to establish a committee for this year's event where we will outline what we will do, how we will do it, and who we will do it for.
If you'd like to join this year's Coding for a Cause Committee, please leave a comment here.
I am thinking that sometime next week we should have a quick initial call around twenty minutes long just to group up and get things organized.

I have a problem and need some guidance. Putting it into words is almost as difficult as finding the solution. I am working on a site for an association. There are about 140 member organizations in the association. When a person registers for the site, I have added the module Profile 2 to gather additional info.

I am determined to break our meetup hiatus, so I have decided to rent the Library meeting room at Herndon Plaza (near Fashion Square Mall) for a meetup. I did have a few offers for meeting locations, but something in me wishes for a central location with ample parking was high on my list for this first meeting back after such a long break.
