Chennai Drupal Community

Why there are very less number of college professors/lecturers from India joining drupal groups? If quality of education(especially in India) needs to improve, I think they should be more thronging into open source groups like in drupal groups.

Any ideas to make this happen?

An Excellent effort by Drupal Hyderabad to take DrupalCampDeccan to the next level by meeting different stakeholders in Drupal and understand their requirements. The initiative is intended to then Align DrupalCampDeccan around these needs and requirements. They have also extended the same to Chennai, Bangalore and Cochin.

Checkout: http://www.scribd.com/doc/68117431/DrupalCampDeccan-mom-08-09 & http://groups.drupal.org/node/181804 for more on the DrupalCampDeccan spark-off of meeting at Hyderabad.

As many of you might be aware, Dries is visiting Hyderabad on 11th November. This would be a very good opportunity for all of us to attend Drupal Camp Deccan and get a chance to meet him in person.

Anybody from Chennai planning to attend Drupal Camp Deccan, post your participation here, and contact me here. We can collectively discuss and book our tickets/lodging together.

Looking forward to meet more Chennai Drupal developers..

Thanks,
Rajesh

As you may have noticed, Singapore was granted money for Community Cultivation by the Drupal Association so that we can bring in an international speaker to our DrupalCamp.

Is there anybody you would like to invite?
The funds should be sufficient to bring in somebody from Europe and maybe somebody from the States if we use sponsor money to top up.

Please post your suggestion as a comment, and also - when you post,
1) include the name of the proposed guest
2) write a short explanation why you think we should invite this person
3) what you think are the benefits for the drupal community in singapore / South/SE Asia

Alternately, add to the discussion that you second one of the proposed candidates.

Note that I'm including some groups in the region besides Singapore - there might be funds available for a stopover somewhere else in Asia, so I also encourage members from nearby countries to suggest candidates for the overseas speaker.

My site is similar to istock images where user can upload images and buyer can purchase it. But I dont want to keep the uploaded images in my drupal running server as it will affect the speed in future.
Currently all my uploads are going to MY SERVER 1 /MY_DRUPAL/sites/default/files. But what I want is to save my uploads to MY SERVER 2 /MY_FOLDER. And also I am using uc_file_download to download the purchased file. I want to give this external server path (SERVER 2 /MY_FOLDER) in uc_file_download setting.

Hello Drupallers,

Some of you might already be aware, Dries is visiting Hyderabad on Nov 11th. We are in touch with Acquia and are planning to organize a major two day Drupal Camp Deccan for all of South India.

All folks from Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Cochin are welcome to make good use of this event. We will have Dries to address the crowd in person and deliver the keynote address.

Azri (www.azrisolutions.com) is co-sponsoring the event. We plan to have different tracks for beginners and advanced learning.

Hi!

I have posted this question on Drupal forum few days before. But I no one replies... So I want your help!

I'm using Drupal 7, works pretty on English.

But If I try to save an article or basic page in Non-English languages (like Sinhalese, Tamil, Arab, Hindi), it shows an error message and does not save.

I'm using Drupal's languages, and have tried language packs (.po) which downloaded from Drupal site.

I have installed Language and Translation modules (which come with drupal).

And the user interface works fine in that languages. But saving does not work.

Can you please explain me how to work on the Organic Group?
