DrupalCorn 2012 retrospective and preplanning for 2013
It was just 4 months ago but it's time to start planning for the next big DrupalCorn Camp. I would like to start with a retrospective to air all the things we want to improve upon and all the things that went well and we would like to repeat.
Maybe this can be a proxy for our December meeting that we always cancel?

DSM Web Geeks Dojo - Hands on Git Lab
I know some people were looking to learn a bit about SCM (Source Code Management) with Git. If you want to contribue code back to the Drupal project or contrib. modules on drupal.org, you will need to learn Git.
The Des Moines Web Geeks is having a hands-on Git lab Monday, Nov. 12 at 6pm 9pm in Des Moines. I'm going to see if I can go. If I can, I would be willing to organize a carpool from Ames.

Remote PHP Debugging Using Eclipse
I would like to be able to debug (walk through) some PHP/Drupal code (specifically some Islandora contributed modules) to try and solve some apparent configuration problems (and just to get better acquainted with the inner workings of the system). I've got Eclipse with PDT setup on my Windows 7 system, and wish to conduct some remote debugging of code that lives on an Ubuntu 10.04 virtual 'test' server. There appears to be a lot of good remote debug configuration info available (perhaps too much to sift through) on the web, but I haven't found any that's specific to my environment yet.

D6 Rich Text Editors Not Saving Changes
Hello all. Sorry I can't make the meeting in Ames this evening...I have a school board meeting and a user training session afterward. Hoping to make the next meeting in October.
I do have a problem that I can't find a solution for so I thought I would toss this out to the group and see if anyone can suggest a fix.
The issue is with Rich Text editing in Drupal 6. Lately I've had similar experiences with different editors (FCKEditor, CKEditor and TinyMCE) on different hosts and sites (about a 8-10 different circumstances/systems). The problem is that when I edit rich text in a WYSIWYG field (like a node body field) my edits are not always saved unless I switch to plain text or source display BEFORE clicking Save.

Force Views ajax paging to use GET instead of POST so it can be cached.
After witnessing some dramatic CPU spikes, I've discovered that Views' ajax paging sends requests via POST instead of GET (very large POSTs!), preventing them from being cached by Varnish and the like.
Evidently, I'm not the only one that has encountered this but I haven't found any solutions.
Any ideas?
