Many thanks to Jim Skowyra for arranging the room again!

Make comments to this if you want to talk abotu something in particular - maybe give a presentation or whatever.

If anyone has a projector, please bring. I will try to fix mine before, but may not have any luck.

I can bring a projector

Hi all,

I can bring a projector along with me. Looking forward to meeting folks. If there's interest I can run through how we're using Drupal at Amherst College. We developed a module to facilitate hierarchical content creation and permission control that may be of interest. There's a case study on this over here:

http://groups.drupal.org/node/10231

That amongst other things covers the module and aspects of how it works.

Can't Wait

I'd love to attend.

It would be wonderful to get to meet others in the area and see how they are using Drupal. We at inRESONANCE are beginning to use Drupal to power a couple web components of our FileMaker Pro based solutions.

And we'll have snacks, too

Just a note that we'll have cheese and vegetable snacks available, too.

David, if you're bringing a projector, I'll be arriving at about 5:45 and can help get it set up.

...and I plan on doing the Grand Unveiling of our Disco Fever module! :P actually just a small module that allows for some pretty cool visual effects.

I have an issue I could use help with.

rick hood's picture

I need to show a block on a page where the left hand side of the block is content from a node and the right hand side is a small vertical menu – maybe 5 links – such that when you click a menu link, it changes the content of the left hand part of the block – without loading any new page or anything.

I was thinking this: http://drupal.org/project/nodecarousel

And I started to try it, but it seems complicated. Before I dive more into that, if there is an easy way to do this I’m missing, I’d appreciate input tomorrow. Thanks.

Jquery is what you

Jquery is what you want/need. Unfortunately, that's about all I can tell you. Not familiar enough with it to show you. :(
