Local User Group Organizers

I need a volunteer to take change of keeping and publishing a master calendar of Drupal Camps, Sprints and related meetings. If you have some spare time and are interested either respond here or contact me through g.d.o or a.d.o.

Thanks,

Estimados hermanas y hermanos hispano parlantes,

Quiero compartirles primero que estoy inscrito en todos los grupos geográficos que conozco, y si hay alguno más por favor indicarlo para aumentar la audiencia, pues considero este mensaje importante.

Estuve haciendo seguimiento a los grupos geográficos y poco a poco identifiqué los temas que se tratan:
- Ofertas de empleo
- Convocatorias a reuniones locales
- Consultas sobre Drupal
- Proyectos que convocan a toda la comunidad hispana

I hope this post brings to the forefront a gripe I have about breadcrumbs and the precedence of the "Audience" selection on discussions in groups.drupal.org

When an event is posted to our group for our monthly meetup, we usually post it to the groups in adjacent cities/states.

The issue: the breadcrumbs and email subjects for notifications take on the first "audience" in the list - so our events/posts appear as though they are within the "Central Ohio" group instead of Cincinnati/SW Ohio group, since Central Ohio comes first alphabetically.

We had a great meetup last night, and although it may have felt a bit like a "trustee meeting" to quote Willem, it's a necessary evil to spend time on figuring this stuff out. After the discussion we had 2 cool showcases from George and Greg - thanks for the effort you guys put into it. What follows is a listing of the group goals, portfolios we identified and who's going to be coordinating/running each portfolio, as well as some specific tasks.

We had a great turn out for our 1st ever ChatUp. We discussed many different ways to improve our groups. We also spent a great deal of time discussing how the GDO site could improve to serve local groups better. It appeared to be unanimous that we all believe that GDO should be the primary focus for group activity. We hope that GDO on D6 will be a step forward for those of us who continue to use it heavily in promoting local groups.
If you missed the meeting, feel free to reply to this post and comment on the transcript.

The transcript is attached.

Per Moshe in post http://groups.drupal.org/node/20725#comment-75055 "I think some static FAQ pages and such are perfectly reasonable and much needed. I don't think anyone is married to the current homepage for that matter. Please do forge ahead."

And with that the topic is raised.
What benefit can we gain from having front-page links to static content on GDO? Currently all we have is a "about this site" link at the bottom of every page. Beyond that, all pages are reached only if you enter through a group or a search result.

Hey "Local Users Group Organizers" gang! (and a few, select, cross posted groups)

If Spring is a season of rejuvenation in your part of the planet, then I hope yours is going better than it is here in Indiana. As the rains come and the grey clouds loom, I look forward to seeing the sun again AND to making efforts to grow the Local Drupal Users Group in my city.

Hoy para mi es el pan de cada día sentir la necesidad de aportar algo al Software Libre, y mi medio más usado es Drupal. Pero, esta motivación y entusiasmo tan fuerte que tengo no estuvieron siempre ahí, ¿Cómo es que un consumista pasó a ser un productor?. La respuesta es: algo lo impactó en el camino.
