Drupal 6 Themes - book review
<
p>
Less than 5 months ago I posted a review of "Drupal 5 Themes" by Ric Shreves. I was really jazzed to have our first book dedicated to theming Drupal. But I was concerned that it was trailing too far behind Drupal's release schedule.
Des Moines Web Geeks
I've been asked to give a talk about Drupal at the next Des Moines Web Geeks meeting on Monday, October 20th. I'll talk a little about my experience implementing the Cowles Library web site and then lead an open discussion.
It would be great to have a strong Drupal community showing. There are a lot of Wordpress and Joomla fans in the crowd. :)

We're on a roll! I usually really like to announce these meetings at least two weeks in advance. But I have been swamped.
So, our next meeting will be 29Sep08 at 7pm at iMed Studios.
Jeff has offered to discuss how he was able to access some none Drupal native data from his Drupal site. I don't know much more than that but Dan (on his behalf) has promised it to be a very interesting discussion.

Looking for help from Drupal community
Hello Drupal Iowa,
The WiderNet eGranary digital library (www.widernet.org) at the University of Iowa is using a grant from Intel to develop a Community Information Platform that will enable users of the eGranary (an offline collection of information resources aimed at underserved populations) to create their own web pages and populate them with local content.
