O'Reilly Daily Deal: Vagrant: Up and Running by M Hashimoto
There were a few folks that asked me about what I use for virtualization after the Tuesday Drupal central Denver meeting, and a brief discussion which included Vagrant (which I admit I do not personally use; KVM with "virsh" for those who are wondering). O'Reilly's "daily deal" ironically has their book on Vagrant authored by Mitchell Hashimoto at 50% off (or $11.99 vs $23.99).

Read moreDuplicating Content Groups Within A Node
Is there a way to duplicate a content group within a node?
Here's what I'm trying to do:
On my main page nodes, I want to have specific sections within a content group. These content groups would include:
1. Section Title
2. Section Body
3. Image with Cutline
4. Downloadable Files
I'd be able to click a button and the content group would duplicate itself?
Now, I could create 6-7 of these separate content groups, and it would work fine - but I was wondering if there was a better way to do this - ?

Monday, June 10: 6:30 to 8:30pm
A meeting of Drupal users from the south Denver metro area: Denver Tech Center, Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch ... you get the idea.
Drupal meet-ups are where members of the Drupal open source community gather to share knowledge, tips, and fellowship. We mostly look like web designers, web developers, user interface experts, mobile device application developers -- anyone with an interest in the Drupal open source content management platform. We meet at the Innovation Pavilion, near the Ikea.

Drupal DevOps Meetup
We are starting a monthly meetup in Denver to focus specifically on DevOps issues that relate to Drupal.
DevOps is one of those nebulous terms that seem to vary in definition from person to person. From the perspective of these meetings, DevOps is the art of solving both technical and management issues related to deploying and maintaining Drupal for small to large shops.

Read moreSouth Denver Drupal Meetup
A meeting of Drupal users from the south Denver metro area: Denver Tech Center, Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch ... you get the idea. Location is the Innovation Pavilion, near the Ikea off I-25 (map).
Last month's format of triage (bring your problems), followed by tips/tricks seemed to work well.
But there's a strong interest in learning more about handling workflows in Drupal. Can anyone offer a short presentation on this topic?
Read moreShare your Drupal problems to solve at meetups
We've had some discussions about trying a different sort of format for the Central Denver meetup, with shorter presentations focused on solving specific problems. This would involve people posting their problems in advance and other people volunteering to demo solutions at the meetup.
So let's try it! Post your problems here, and if you're willing to do a quick demo on how to solve a problem posted here, volunteer in a reply. If/when we get enough to make a meetup out of it, we'll make that the meetup.
