One DrupalCon ticket available free!
I hope everyone with any connection to Drupal within throwing distance of Denver has found there way to DrupalCon already, but for anyone who has not — and i remember when DrupalCon came to Boston, it cost a lot less but was still a bit of a decision to go to my first DrupalCon — and for anyone who has contributed in any way (helping others in IRC, making a theme or module, documenting stuff) here's a free ticket, enquire within.

DrupalCon Denver DrupalChix BoF
This is a dedicated all-DrupalChix place and time to talk about issues that matter to us. We will be in BoF Room 502.
This is our meeting. It's a great opportunity to get to know other DrupalChix in the community at large, and discuss ways to support each other, whether it's about career issues, how to get our voices heard, grow the DrupalChix community, etc.
Let's see where the discussion goes and make great use of our hour together.
PS: If anyone has a good SLR they want to bring to get a group picture, that would be very welcome.

Read moreDrupal Installation and more
I wanted to develop a CMS for a non-profit and it seems Drupal would be a good choice. I have good IT experience but not web development experience. So I will appreciate if someone can help (guide) me with what kind of OS/Web Server I need (e.g. Linux/Apache), the installation of OS/Web Server, the installation of Drupal and then starting development with Drupal. I found these books on Amazon that supposedly could help but I am not sure and would need your inputs. Thanks!

Denver Drupalcon Drupalchix BoF
Hello Drupalchix,
I wanted to start a discussion about scheduling a Drupalchix BoF at drupalcon. I personally think the drupalchix BoF's are very important, and another great opportunity to meet other drupalchix.
Is there a time that works best for everyone? I am going to try and look through the schedule and see if we can find a room we can "take over" for a session, and a time where no drupalchix are presenting (or the least amount). If you know of a time that sounds great, please let me know.

Read moreDrupal-centric DBA - referrals
I am working with a client on an RFP response and would like to include as a potential resource a DBA, ideally with some Drupal experience. We're looking at a large and relatively complex integration of a number of legacy systems on both Postgres and MySQL, and it would be handy to have a multi-talented DB guru to help craft queries and generally support an ETL to Drupal.
I'm not posting this under Jobs since it's not a definite gig per se, but if you have a recommendation for someone (or are that someone yourself) and would like more info, please get in touch privately.
