Do you own or help manage a company or organization that uses Drupal? Does your team depend on professional Drupal service providers in the Greater Los Angeles Area? Have you and your projects been affected by a shortage of Drupal development and theming talent?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then consider coming to our first-ever Drupal Jobs Summit from 7-9pm on Monday, January 28, 2013. There is no charge for this event. It is open to any and all companies and organizations who qualify, by:
- Hosting any Drupal meetups, trainings or other Drupal community events, including Frontend Drupal, High Performance Drupal, Downtown Los Angeles Drupal, LA Drupal, and so on;
- Sponsoring or exhibiting at any of the Los Angeles Drupal job fairs, including this month's Drupal Job Fair on Monday, January 28th.
Hosting a meetup at your office qualifies you for this event. Buying pizza at a meetup, while appreciated, does not. If you do not meet the above qualifications, contact us at jobs-jan28summit@droplabs.net with a request to attend.
This is a roll-up-your-sleeves working meeting and we will be meeting one another (many for the first time) and discussing the following topics:
- Building a healthy marketplace and business community of colleagues and potential partners;
- Getting the most out of our recruiting and marketing dollar;
- What we're doing now to staff up, from local recruiting and in-house training to outsourcing and hiring out-of-town or overseas;
- Identifying the skills, job titles and qualifications of desirable candidates, employees and vendors;
- Workshops, trainings and other programs that most or all of us can get behind in order to solve our business needs.
We'll have an open bar and cocktails will be served.

Forms Validation Help
I could use some coder help.
I have a page manager panel that displays a view with exposed filters for Location/Proximity and displays results of stores, along with a gmap for all resulting locations.
This works like a champ. The problem is I need to validate the results to make sure a zip code is entered, otherwise the result set is every store and the map takes a lot of time and resources to render.
I am trying to validate on the submit button, but it appears that the submit button is validated even before it is clicked.
Read moreTemecula Area DUG?
I have been trying to get some local folks to meet up in the Temecula/Murrieta area and found that there are very few of us around this area.
Not knowing the level of expertise, availability, or meeting frequency that possible attendees would enjoy, I thought I would just show up someplace and extend an invitation to anyone interested.
I plan on going to the Temecula Public Library every Tuesday evening from 6-8pm in the Grace Mellman Heritage Room, or one of the private rooms if it is booked, starting tomorrow, 5/22/2012 and or a month or so to see how it goes.

Read moregit clone from DreamHost kicking my butt!
I'm new to git. I own and have read the Pro Git by Scott Chacon. I can make repo's locally on my Windows 7 desktop and clone them. I can create repo's on my SSH enabled Dreamhost account and can clone them on my shared Dreamhost server.
For the love of God, I cannot clone a Dreamhost repo to my local Windows desktop! It is driving me nuts.
I have ssh keys set up and can log into the dreamhost shared server via my local machine within the bash shell, so my ssh seems to be set up correctly. But I cannot get a clone.
