Recently I'm interested in howto develop a Drupal theme like Acquia's home page.

Anyone wanna go for a meetup? I'm thinking maybe Zen.

ZenテーマをいじってAcquia.comみたいなサイトを作ろうというハック日を考えています。興味のある方はいますか?

Hi there, I'm a theme developer in Tokyo and I'd be interested in going through building a theme in a meet up. I think it'd be an interesting challenge to try to emulate a theme like Acquia's in a day and it might also be very educational for those learning. I'd also love to see how others approach theming. However, I can only really participate in English :).

yes, interested

sound interesting

when and where?

xbro's picture

I guess the next question might be then when and where?
では、ミーティング日程の調整をしましょう。

English or Japanese, either way I think is fine. I guess I could translate if anyone needs translators.
日本語の人も是非参加して下さい、必要とあらば私がその場訳しましょう。

Can we agree that discussions would be based on D7?
ディスカッションはD7を前提にして宜しいでしょうか?

Also should we narrow the discussions to only ZEN now? Or is creating a theme like a Bartik 7.0 child theme to emulate the Acquia homepage a decent approach? http://drupal.org/node/1028196 ZENテーマだけに絞って話す事を前提にすると決めますか?Bartik 7.0のチャイルドテーマを作成するのもありのような感じがしますがどうでしょう? http://drupal.org/node/1028196

Feel free to notify us on your meeting day preferences (weekends, weekdays?), even specific dates, and whereabouts (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ote-machi etc.). 都合の良い日と場所などいくつか提案くれればそこから何とか調整して行きましょう。

I invite those interested in

I invite those interested in building Zen subthemes to take a look at my Zenophile module. It basically automates the process of creating a Zen subtheme, allowing you to get started with customizing it much faster. It also comes with two submodules, Zenophile Midnight and Zenophile Sidebars, which help you to create better-looking white-on-black subthemes with Zen and adjust the placement and width of your subtheme's sidebars, respectively. I've just released a beta release for Drupal 7.

I would like to attend next month

Hello

Theme on Drupal 7, good and I would like to attend this Drupal 7 theme meeting, because I am writing a computer network how to book now and I have to finish end of this month, sorry.

In my case, English and Japanese, both OK.

Cheers,

frognation's picture

I think focusing on D7 would be very educational since the official release build is quite young. Also, I only have experience creating themes from scratch so it would be interesting to view how you work with sub themes. I can also share my workflow with others.

A weekend day would probably work best if you want to build a theme in one day although I am also open weekday nights. I am OK with any location that will provide a good room/venue with space for several computers (I'm in Gotanda).

Thanks for organizing!

schedule

I am open weekends and weekday nights, and located close to Ikebukuro. I am a novice at theming, so with regards to when we meet, I don't mind if it is next month or this weekend. But I will be looking at theming for as long it takes until I understand everything I need to understand. Then I'll be moving into SEO and must have modules.

Two suggestions on locations. One is Shakey's Pizza which has all you can eat lunch I haven't been there for a while but back when they started it was 500 yen all you can eat, don't know how much they are now. Probably best to avoid places like Shibuya and Shinjuku to avoid chaos on weekends. The other place I usually suggest is a laid back hangout which is the Sakura Cafe at Ikebukuro, this place is better if the weather is warmer but it's a place where we can sit down and have discussions as long as we like, and very international (tourists will be walking around), I think they have free wifi. They have some seats inside, the place isn't usually packed but it depends. Seems they went 24/7 and have party events which we probably want to avoid. http://www.sakura-cafe.asia/ikebukuro/english/index.php

If anyone knows other places to meet feel free to suggest. At this point I'll be looking into the possibility of a 12-6pm Saturday meetup somewhere. Maybe at Ikebukuro, maybe starting at Shakey's and moving to the Sakura cafe if that sounds good but I am open to any other suggestions.

現時点、とりあえず土曜日12-6pmで調整考えています。候補地としては昼のシェーキーズピザや池袋のサクラカフェ http://www.sakura-cafe.asia/ikebukuro/index.php を挙げときます。場所はどこでも構いませんので(横浜,千葉,吉祥寺などでも)いい場所をご存知の方は候補地の提案お願いします。日時変更も問題ありません。宜しくお願いします。

Hi everybody,

I am new on the group and I am very interested in Drupal theming (I am finishing a webmaster training course by an internship in which I have to build a website from designers HTML/CSS stuff...).

Let me know when and where to meet together.

Cordially

Dokuro's picture

Hey, we use Zen on almost every project we build. I'm not a themer, but maybe I can stop by and help on the core setup of things? Pak, he does all the theming for us, maybe he can come by as well, he is kind of busy...but yeah.

We used the zen theme to build these two new sites:
http://somatic-systems.com/
http://synergycenter.jp/

Look forward to being apart of things.

Hi everybody,

Saturday I will be busy until 4:00 and could arrived at Ikebukuro at 4:30.
Is that to late ? Other people plan to join ?

I keep tuned until we know more about that meeting.

Cordially

Charles

3/12? not on yet. 3/12未定

xbro's picture

Hi Charles,

At this point you're the only one other myself who's expressed interest for meeting on 3/12, I was hoping frognation might show up. I would have to say at least 3 people should show up in order to call it an event, so I'll wait for a couple more days. If we can't secure 3 people let's postpone this to another day. I don't know what the weather's gonna be like but it snowed today, and at the Sakura Cafe it's definitely better when it's warmer. So maybe April.

Everyone,

Please feel free to suggest other meeting dates. if 3/12 doesn't suit you.

Best regards,

Scott

まだ私を含めて合計二人しか参加表明をしてないので数日待ち合計三人にならなければたぶんミーティングは延期します。今日雪もふりましたし、サクラカフェは天候が良い方が確実に快適な場所ですし。他の日程で調整していきたい人たちは是非ご提案下さい。
宜しくお願いします。

Hi, I posted this in the event thread as well but would it be okay to move this to a future date in light of what happened today? Please let me know. Thanks!

Agreed: 3/12 Ikebukuro meetup postponed.

I will try to reflect this at the event notification. Thanks for noticing.

Meetup rescheduled?

thewilder's picture

I'd also be interested in a meetup, though I'm very new to Drupal. Has the event been rescheduled yet?

no reschedule yet: (May?)

xbro's picture

No reschedule yet, but I'll definitely start thinking about it.

I'd probably say it would be about a month after Drupal activity in Japan seems is normal (maybe May). If the generator situation seems to continue, I'd try to shoot for May anyway.
