Welcome to the Jackson Drupal Users Group. Come and enjoy Drupal with us in Jackson Michigan.
Free Drupal Theme Workshop
This event has now passed. Thanks for all who attended!
Come join us for a totally free Drupal 6 theming workshop. This casual training will walk through building a Drupal 6 theme from scratch, start to finish.
Your group leader will be building a basic theme for a company website based off a Photoshop mockup. He will build the theme and talk about what he's doing and why he's doing it. You can ask basic questions along the way but, due to the compressed timeline of the workshop, we won't stop the workflow to answer anything extremely complex (or go off in directions that don't pertain to the theme being built).
- Where?
St. Matthew Lutheran Church
2040 South Commerce
Walled Lake, MI
Room 304 (use rear entrance)
Google Map - Date: Saturday, October 11, 2008
- Time: 1pm-6pm
We aren't providing any food/snacks, etc so bring your own. We will have wireless assuming everything goes as planned. However, we cannot promise that the wireless will be functioning.
Hope to see you there!

Read moreShow-n-Tell
The next A2-Drupal meeting will be held on the 29Oct07 at 7pm. Let's have an informal Show-n-Tell. I'm looking for a few volunteers. I think 3-4 people would be do-able. Each person would do about 10-15 minutes. This will leave us with lots of time to let conversation wander. Please add a comment below if you are willing to participate. danromanchik? monan?
I really want to see a site that has solved the embeded video issues. Anyone? audiocollective?
What do others want to see?

Armory Arts Community Site
One of the biggest things happening in Jackson is the new Armory Arts Village. I have been there a few times and went on all the tours and this thing has potential to be something great. The are currently working on a technology department with help from Adobe and Microsoft, so hopefully they will have a strong focus on the intersection of technology and art.

Read moreThemeing Class / Free Chapter of Pro Drupal Development
For those of us present last night for Michael's talk on Themeing... Saw this post http://groups.drupal.org/node/5804 and noted that it had a link to the free, downloadable chapter of the Pro Drupal Development book we discussed. Perhaps more importantly, there is a free online class/seminar you can sign up for on themeing taught by the author...
Read moreAnn Arbor Spark provides new home

Ann Arbor Spark has generously offered to sponsor our group by providing a regular central meeting location. They have promised us the last Monday of the month into the foreseeable future. This will bring some needed stability.
Read moreJuly Meeting A2Drupal group
We now have agenda and confirmed a meeting space. See comment below. Hope to see everyone there.
The next Ann Arbor Drupal Users group meeting is tentatively scheduled for 30Jul07 and has no agenda (yet). Any body have something they are willing to share? Let's keep the momentum building. I'll post the meeting place when I get confirmation.
This group needs wings!
I am looking to get the Ann Arbor Drupal Users group off the ground. It is clear to me now that Ann Arbor does have enough Drupal programmers to warrant a group of its own. I was especially happy to hear about Drupal being taught at UMich. But...the group is in need of a few things to make it sail.
- Critical Mass - We don't quite have the critical mass, although we have 5 new subscribers since last meeting. I think the tipping point for stability and momentum will be around 35-40 members. So get the word out!
Location?
One of the things that came out of our 31May meeting is the need for a regular location.
Most everyone liked meeting at Wolverine tower with its large room, projector and easy access from the highway. But the lack of wireless available to the Non-UM people was disappointing.
Michael Hess offered space on the UMich campus. The downside to this space is parking and poor highway access.
Personally, I vote for the UMich campus location as wireless will be all important when we have a working meeting.

The next meeting is 31May and the following meeting will be 25June07 at 7pm. Anyone from Jackson or even Lansing want to host the meeting? Any ideas for agenda?

What modules should I use?
Greetings fellow Michigan Drupal users. I have a question. Let it be noted that I have only been using Drupal for about 2 months, so please forgive my newbisms & lack of knowledge...believe me, I'm trying, and I'm excited to be doing so.
Read more1st Ann Arbor/Jackson meeting reflections
Our first Ann Arbor/Jackson, Michigan meeting is now behind us. I pause now to reflect.
We had ~11 People from Lansing, Jackson and Ann Arbor. Thanks to mikejoconnor of the Jackson, Michigan group for initiating. Less than 50% of the crowd was from Ann Arbor (sad). Although I see reason to maintain two seperate groups, it is clear to me that these groups will benifit from regular collaboration.
