Working on a Drupal site? Have questions? Join us for Community Lab Hours this Wednesday June 26th from 5-7PM at Intermedia Arts -- right before the TC Drupal meetup at 7PM. It's free and open to all.
Read moreJune TC Drupal meetup -- this Wednesday June 26th!
The Twin Cities Drupal June meetup is scheduled for this Wednesday June 26th from 7-9PM. Power outage in the Lyn-Lake area threatened to make this a candlelit affair (anyone have a magic lantern for presentation slides?) but electricity has been restored!
Important location note
We'll be meeting in Intermedia Arts' adjoining back building to avoid a large event taking place at the same time in the main space. This building, called ArtsHub West, is directly behind the main building. The entrance is on Aldrich Ave. You are welcome to park in the main Intermedia lot or in the lot adjoining ArtsHub West on Aldrich.
Agenda/speaker opportunity
Unfortunately our featured speaker needed to step aside due to an unforeseen conflict. That means we have a wide open opportunity for … you! I invite anyone who has a ready-made presentation to offer to share with the group.
This would be a great opportunity for someone to test-drive their upcoming DrupalCamp Twin Cities presentation, for example. Leave a comment or contact Barry if you're interested.
Lightning talks
We'll also open the floor for lightning talks (5 mins. max). Bring a topic or question to address or have addressed by the group. No slides or formal presentation necessary.
DrupalCamp Twin Cities July 18-21
Lastly, members of the committee organizing the upcoming DrupalCamp Twin Cities will be present to answer questions and share info about all the exciting sessions, sprints, training opportunities and event celebrations that make up our annual affair in July.
As always, pizza will be provided. Bringing some beverages to share is encouraged.

I'm Git-ting the Blues
Sorry, but as some of you already know. I'm working on my git skills and trying to move a practice DRUPAL site to a remote server using git. Unfortunately, things are not going well.
After many hours, I only get "Internal Server Error" messages when trying to engage my git cloned site.
I've tried gitting help on drupal.org - without much luck, so far. Here are detailed steps on what I've done.....

Any suggestions on what to try next?
