A group for Drupallers in the Niagara and Hamilton/Burlington Regional Municipalities.
August Meetup Announced
It's that time of the month again! Here's the proposed topics: feel free to suggest something else.
DrupalCon London
I don't think anyone in the group is going, so we'll curate a list of links to must-see videos, important topics, and have some chats about anything newsworthy that comes from the most recent DrupalCon.
Share your project
Tell us about projects you're working on, highlight any problems you're particularly proud of solving, or plead for help with those that leave you in a cold sweat at night.

This will be a joint meeting of the Niagara/Hamilton and Western New York user groups. We'll also have remote access to the presentation (details to follow).
Topic 1: The Omega Theme
It's a mobile device theme--no, it's a widescreen theme--I mean, a standard theme. What is it? It's a new alpha release of Omega, and with a hand from the modules Delta and Context, your dynamic content decides for you.

local troubleshooting assistance
I am looking for someone in Hamilton who can undertake some troubleshooting on a new site. The site is live (a couple weeks now) and needs to cross these final hurdles. to be fully operational (and to enable roll out of further features). I very much prefer someone local for a face-to-face meeting.
What I am currently seeking is basic troubleshooting: config issues, permissions, testing, etc.
The site is running on Drupal 6, includes advanced forum 1.x and CiviCRM integration (experience not needed in the latter. Would be a bonus)

Niagara and Hamilton Meeting: Loving Drush and Pushing Panels
It's been a few months since our last meeting, but we've got two great (and short) sessions planned. Here's the meeting location:
Creatives' Exchange
211 King Street
Foursquare Venue
There will be two topics:
1. You Loving Drush, Drush Loving You. (20 min)
I'll document how and why I began my love affair with this awesome command line tool, and describe some of the ways it's helped me save precious time in my workflow.
2. Pushing Panels (20 min)

Next Meeting
It's been a while (a few months) since we had a meeting. Are we planning on having another one soon?

Via WNYDUG head honcho, Brian Fending:
WNY Drupal User Group: August 2010 Meeting
We are continually defining "down to the wire" here, aren't we? We're going to mix things up a bit more for this WNYDUG meeting by holding it in Niagara Falls. That's right, "Slowly I turn," etc. We need a couple of presenters, too -- one code-heavy & one click-heavy still work for everyone? Remote attendee information included below.

Read moreApplication for Separate Group denied: Reverting to Niagara/Hamilton
I received notification yesterday that our request to create a Niagara-only group has been declined. I'm hoping this is only temporary, but here's the body of the message I received.
Your Group entry entitled "Niagara" has been denied by our content moderator. Our group guidelines are posted at http://groups.drupal.org/node/add/og. The content has been deleted from our site.
Note:
With a population of less than 500,000 this region would be better served by a bigger geographic region, like "Ontario" or "Canada".
Great Turnout for Niagara Meetup
We had a great turnout for the Niagara meetup, 7 ppl for the first event! It might seem like a small number to some, but larger groups have started with fewer people, so I'm really excited about what this means for Drupal in Niagara.
Attendance:
Trevor, Pierre, Brian, John, Dwight, Dionne, Don
To recap, here's some of the things we decided.
- We have enough people to start our own separate group from Hamilton. We just have enough people here that it makes sense.
First Meeting for Niagara and Hamilton!
So we're getting started with our meetings. If someone is interested in hosting the next meeting in Hamilton, please let me know.
Location
http://foursquare.com/venue/1597678
Agenda (ish)
We'll start by talking about everyone's current Drupal interests and skill levels, and then start planning some sessions that speak to those common interests.
If time permits, we can go through some of what's new in Drupal 7 and why it's going to be a kickass release for both end users and developers.

This looks like a great project. If anyone knows the developers or someone who is involved with the site, then a meetup around the site would be a great way to get everyone together.
Read moreSo how's things in Hamilton and Niagara?
Hi all. It's been an exciting time for Drupal in Niagara, of all places. We now have a good core of Drupal professionals that are interested in meeting, and are doing so on a regular basis.
So I wanted to ask: how's everyone else doing? Is there interest in a meetup of some kind for the larger group.
If Hamilton people would like to come down to Niagara and enjoy some Drupal and some of the world's best wine, well then just let us know.

Anyone want to take over as manager?
Hello.
Come April, I will be moving away from Hamilton to the Ottawa region. Does anyone want to take over management of this group?
I think there are enough people subscribed to this group that it could begin rolling as a 'proper' Drupal group with meetups / workshops / events etc.

Just in case you haven't heard, Dries popped into the Drupal Dojo webchat (#drupal-dojo on Freenode), and mentioned that he has a publisher who wants to put out another Drupal book, and they need an author.
So, if you think you have what it takes and want a shot at fame and fortune, money, glamour, or hot (girls|men), contact Dries and offer your services.
