Please submit your BADCamp session proposals by Thursday, Sept 25th (http://www.badcamp.net/node/add/session). We want to have enough time for attendees to vote their preferences, and then let the presenters know their time slots by the end of next week.

We will have a Birds of a Feather room available for sessions that don't get slotted in the official schedule.

Specific How Tos that I woudl like to see

I don't know if this is the right place, but I would love to have someone work through the following issues:

Panels, OG groups, and Domain Access: Tutorials and walk throughs
Creating panels, mini-panels, and panel nodes. Is this analogous to views or views argument code?
Doing so in OG groups
Permissions in OG groups vs site permissions
Domain access vs. subdomain

Signup vs ecommerce/Ubercart
Can ecommerce or ubercart be used in place of the signup module? Is there a case study?

Theme issues:
$node->links: How to get certain links to show up where you need them to.
node->signup_view: How to get the signup button to show up where you want it to
Why is IE6 such a pain?
remove status items that appear on the user page (/user) and place them where I want

Modules:
user_import- creates node profiles
viewfield cck- argument passing doesn't seem to work. Ways around this?
CCK permission when using content template- how can you make it work?
account_reminder emails or mass emailing: is there a way to queue mail so your system doesn't overrun?
job_queue- how do you use this without modifying someone else's module?
Creating node profile automatically
Invite module and login toboggin- why do I need to have a validation link sent to someone who I already invited to the site

I am a newbie and these are the issues I am facing. I wonder if I am alone?

On job queue, it is an API,

On job queue, it is an API, so you really can not use it without modifying the module.

job queue = API.. ok

I had to go into the account_reminder module and modify a line in order to use job queue. I was wondering if this was not right. It seems from your comment that it is.

I find it strange that I need to go into someone else's module but I will do it if I have to.

Do submit a patch back to

Do submit a patch back to the module or ask that they support job queue. You certainly should not be maintaining modifications on your own.
