Orlando client looking for a Drupal Developer ASAP!
I'm hearing of an Orlando client looking for a Drupal Developer ASAP! It would be a full-time opportunity working on-site 40 hours a week on a 1-year contract (and could go longer or perm). I know you're working, but wanted to see if you know anyone in your network who might be looking for a developer opportunity.
Drupal Developer Requirements:
• Min of 5+ years of experience with Drupal, previous management experience a plus
• Experience developing Drupal modules and themes, with minimum of 5+ years experience
Florida Drupalcamp Website Planning Conference Call - Volunteers needed!
Overview
Let's get this freaking website up and running. Here's my thoughts.
Thanks to Dennis Solis for working on this already! Thanks to John for setting up the hosting with Acquia.
But, we need to get it up. Deadline is camp - 2 months, which gives us a little over a month.
Topics
- Redesign? Does anyone want to take this on? I'm not doing it this year... Lullabot's keeping me way more busy than the FHSAA ever did.
- Upgrade? Evidently, last year's site used an alpha version of COD that doesn't have an upgrade path. Fuck.
- COD or not to COD?

Seeing how we're behind the 8-ball a little bit in planning FLDC15, Mike Herchel, Dennis Solis, and I just had a quick call about how best to proceed. The call was open to anyone paying attention in the #drupal-florida IRC channel.
Based on a number of factors, we decided to pursue Florida Technical College (FTC) as the venue for next year's camp. If available, this will greatly simplify the planning: we know them, they know us.
