Drupal Webmaster Position at Greenopolis
Jeff at Greenopolis.com (combine for email) sent me the following message:
I'm looking for a Drupal webmaster in Houston to join our team. Can you let the Houston Drupal community know about this or refer anyone to me?
This is a true webmaster position, there will be no dev work...but the person who's hired will be the main point of contact between our dev team and our content team.
If anyone has a lead for Jeff, please contact him at the combined address above. Jeff should also look at this thread for ideas. I hope to meet Jeff at one of our Drupal meet ups.
Read moreInterest in November meeting
Hi All,
The 4th Tuesday in November is Thanksgiving week, and I wanted to gauge interest in a meeting on that date. The Clayton library (in the museum area) has meeting rooms available, but in order to use the room with the projector, we need at least 20 people. We can have a smaller room with fewer people, but there will not be a projector.
Alternatively, we can continue with the teahouse/coffee shop idea.
Please let me know your preference asap. Thanks!

DrupalCamp Dallas 2009 a Success!
Many are still recovering from the sold-out and jam-packed weekend that was DrupalCamp Dallas 2009. Over 100 developers, users, and business owners curious about the Drupal open source platform gathered in Dallas the first weekend of August for two days of Drupal! Here is what some of the attendees said...
"Definitely one of best DrupalCamps I've attended. The Dallas Drupal users are a vibrant and knowledgeable bunch." - Todd Ross Nienkerk, Four Kitchens

Non-Profits and Drupal
I work at channelAustin, a non-profit 501(c)(3) in Austin that is embracing Drupal. Our current web site is a Drupal site. More importantly, we are partners in the Open Media Project and are working collaboratively with other community television stations nationally on Drupal-based tools and are establishing a new channelAustin site. My wife is a board member of a non-profit, the Save Barton Creek Association, and they have recently converted their web site to Drupal. I’m aware of a handful of other Austin non-profits using Drupal, such as Texas Impact. Within the broader open source community in Austin, there is definitely a connection to non-profits and within that connection there are Drupal developers and implementers. It’s not hard to find reports on Drupal and non-profits, like Drupal for Nonprofits, or, How to Build Social Networks for Change and How Drupal Will Save The World. I periodically learn about large national non-profits that have made the switch to Drupal.
