BDUG: May 20: Getting started with Drupal Theming
Unable to attend DrupalCon (http://portland2013.drupal.org)? Come join us at the Berkeley Drupal Users Group instead:
Berkeley Drupal Users Group: Monday, 5/20/13, 12-1:30pm
WHERE: UC Berkeley Campus: Barrows Hall 60 (basement room)
MAP: http://groups.drupal.org/berkeley/map
This session will be targeted toward those who are interested in getting their feet wet with Drupal theming.
Overheard at the Drupal water cooler:
1. I've created static websites using HTML and CSS, and I'm interested in learning a little about Drupal theming.
Why do you go to Drupal Camps?
I go to Drupal camps because I know that if I learn one new thing or meet one cool person who's willing to share their experiences with me, then it was a successful use of my time. Whatever I learn doesn't even have to be Drupal related, the point is I'm a wiser person for having immersed myself into the community. I organize Drupal camps because I want others to have that same opportunity, and it's rewarding for me to see people get together and share their brilliant ideas and work.
So, why do you go to Drupal Camps (big, small, local, international)?

BDUG: Dombrowski on Entity Relationships
Many apologies for the very short notice. BDUG will convene today! Quinn Dombrowski will be talking about entity relationships.
Relationships are a powerful concept that allow you to do more with Drupal views. Let's say your Drupal site defines content types that represent courses and instructors. Using relationships you can connect instructors to courses. Then you can create a view that produces a webpage showing course information and include details about the instructors that teach them.

Do you have a session you're working on for DrupalCon? Or for BADCamp? Or perhaps one you're planning to present at Stanford Drupal Camp, SacDrupal, or some other camp?

Drupal in Education - New Website & Google+ Community
With the use of Drupal growing so rapidly in the Education field and with there being close to 80 people at the Drupacon Denver Education BOF, I think that it is time for us to unite and built a great community where we can all share ideas.
Again we are in the "very" beginning phases of building our community but would really like some input from as many people as possible.
Currently we have a website with just a form to collect information and a Google+ community.
Website: www.drupalined.com

Panels? ...other?) that you think could serve a need on your site, but which you can't get to work or don't know how to use? Or do you have a miscellaneous question (or solution!) that you think would be of interest to others? If so:

Big Data Drupal with Cloudera, Hadoop, MapReduce, Nutch and Solr
thanks to the recent work of the Solr Nutch sandbox project I've managed to get Nutch 1.6 jobs to run on a Cloudera CDH3 4 node cluster sending results to Solr 3.6.2 (hosted within Tomcat on Aegir BOA) and then integrated into the Apache Solr 7.1.1 module (not the dev) into search results and Apache Solr Views
I must say, I am pretty excited about Hadoop / Cloudera running Nutch and Solr and integrating with Drupal
for anyone interested in setting up a Cloudera cluster I recommend masterschema (centos) and Gregory Grubbs on YouTube (debian)
I'll post some notes etc ASAP
