Philly Drupal Camp Logos
Let's get the word out! Here are logos to use on your site or where ever. One w/ text and one w/ just our drop.
Read moreAre we still into printing t-shirts for drupalcamp?
We should decide that soon, I think. I put together a design that I think is pretty hot and in tune with the new theme for drupaldelphia. They have to be paid for, tho, so we'll need a sponsor or decide on a registration fee that will cover them. I'd like to order them in the next 7 days or so in order to be sure we'll have them in time. I know a few suppliers that do good work, but I'm open to suggestion there.
I'm attaching the design.

Central NJ meetup July 7 - theme basics: converting a html page or template into a Drupal theme
This meet-up will start with a presentation/tutorial on how to make a basic (but functional) Drupal theme starting from an existing web page or a template such as you might find on >a href="http://www.oswd.org/designs/favorites/">OSWD. After the tutorial, people working on a teme can get help from others in the group, and we will have informal discussion about general Drupal issues and trouble-shooting.

Philly Drupal Camp: Coming Soon
A lot of progress was made at the planning meeting on Wednesday.
We agreed on a date of July 31 and a location of U. of Penn campus (thanks Penn folks), so mark your calendars
Read moreDrupaldelphia site ideas
Here's a central place we can use to talk about what we want to include on the Drupaldelphia site.
I thought a good place to start would be looking at the Drupal 4 Design and Drupalcamp Colorado sites to get a sense of some features that are commonly included on Drupalcamp sites.
Feel free to edit as needed.
Registration
Profile Fields
The Design4Drupal site didn't ask for any additional fields on registration. DCCO asked for:
- Company
- Website
Philly Drupalcamp Website Build Barnraising
We decided at the Philly Drupal Camp planning meeting that instead of squeezing a volunteer to build us a site for the camp (to handle registration, session ideas, planning, spreading the word, possible ecommerce etc etc) we can all come together and do a quick group sprint to build the site. We'll build it with the plan of reusing much of it for future camps, and potentially sharing the codebase/database for camps elsewhere to use as a starting point.
Mason volunteered to work on a logo for T-shirt usage and for the site logo.

PhillyDrupal Camp Agenda, Topics & Speakers : Brainstorming
Let's start brainstorming ideas for tracks, sessions, and speakers for Philly DrupalCamp. As a reminder, here's what we came up with last year.
Thoughts on tracks? Last year we did beginner and advanced. We could do design vs. development/programming. Or coding vs. business. I don't expect we'll have enough content/people for three, so I think we should stick with two. Thoughts?

"How to get involved with and contribute to the Drupal project"
Meet-up in central NJ for the New Jersey Drupal group. To be held at the Institute for Advanced Study. Note earlier-than-previous starting time. Please chip-in to get some pizza or other food.
Getting involved with the Drupal project (i.e. drupal.org, the Drupal core code, Drupal documentation, Drupal support, etc.) is a great way to both expand your own expertise and to build relationships and credibility in the Drupal community. This meet-up will focus on the ways that anyone from the very newest user to a seasoned developer can get make valuable contributions.
Read morePhilly DrupalCamp Planning
Hi all,
It's been a busy spring, but we're closing in on some plans for a Philly DrupalCamp.
We're looking at two possible locations at Penn, and tentatively looking at July 24 or 31 -- both Fridays.
First of all, does that work for everyone? Sound like a reasonable venue and timeframe? There's a lot of interest around Drupal at Penn, so their participation as a venue will bring lots of folks into the mix, as well as keeping overall costs down.

Setup/Configuration replication
Hi, all, I need a little help, please.
I'm getting into a situation where I may need to create numerous drupal sites. I'm fine with the whole multisite process, but I'd like to be able to copy and replicate a site that is largely configured with some basic things likes roles and permissions, input formats, Rich Text editor profiles, etc.
I know there is a way to do this but I'm frustrated searching drupal.org (as soon as you say "multisite" in the search box, the hits number in the thousands.)
If someone would please point me in the right direction, I'd be enormously grateful.

Are you ready for a MADCamp?
In the months since we successfully pulled off the first Philly Area DrupalCamp (PADCamp) we have had some discussions (most recently at DrupalCon) about whether we should focus on throwing another PADCamp, or whether we should try to work with our neighbors to the North and South of Philly to create a Mid-Atlantic DrupalCamp (MADCamp). I don't have the specific numbers, but at the PADCamp there were tons of people from New York City, Washington DC, Harrisburg, and lots of places in between, so to some degree it was already a MADCamp. What I'd like to try to see for this Camp is a little more regional cooperation and outreach, so I'm curious to know whether anyone from the DC, Maryland, Central PA, NJ, or NYC groups would be interested in helping to make this a reality.
I am proposing that we have the first MADCamp in Philly, due to it's central location on the East Coast and the fact that the Philly group is trying to move the idea forward. However, I'm personally open to hearing ideas for hosting it in other cities, and one of the bigger goals I would have for the Camp is to get more regional cooperation and coordination amongst the groups. I attend NYC DrupalCamps and DC BarCamps (don't think there's been a DC DrupalCamp- has there?), and I've seen many of the same faces at many of these events.
So, if we're going to move forward with this idea, here are some things that need to be decided:
Read moreMeetup Ideas: Drupal Core Patching and Drupal Install Fest
Two ideas for upcoming meetups we could host at Zivtech (1511 South St). Both would be bring your laptop hands on meetups.
Drupal Install Fest
People who would like to try Drupal for the first time could come and get help from Drupal developers on the basics of setting up LAMP on their laptops and installing Drupal. If we get more experienced people than beginners we could always split into a second meeting next door at the bar.
Drupal Core Patch Fest
Read moreCentral NJ meet-up and post Drupalcon DC discussion

More on ORM and Drupal
Hi, folks. I had a great time at the meet-up and will definitely be coming to the general php one next week.
Read moreFebruary Drupal Meetup: 2/18/09
Hey everyone, time for a Drupal Group meetup. We need a date, a location, a topic, and optionally, presenters.
I'll start with the date -- mid February. The 18th. Howzat sound?
Next we need a location. We could always do a social, like National Mechanics or Triumph, but people have been asking about doing something with more content, more show and tell and sharing of ideas, so a quieter place would be in order.
Media Sprint at Zivtech
Join Aaron Winborn, Arthur Foelsche and Zivtech for a Media Sprint!
Date: Tuesday, January 27
Time: 10am (Dojo Session will start at 3:30pm)
Location: Zivtech Philadelphia Office
1511 South St, Philadelphia
We will be combining the media sprint with a dojo session, as well as using irc channels to connect with people in drupal-dev and drupal-dojo groups. We'll probably concentrate on configuring stream wrappers and solidying the GUI elements. Anyone is welcome, so please feel free to join us! Just drop us a line if you plan on attending.
Module List Review
At the University of Delaware, we are just getting started with Drupal as an officially supported resource, maybe for only 6 months or so. Having just barely more experience than most others at UD, I'm trying to help everyone get up to speed with the basics and offer suggestions how to enhance their sites from there.
Currently, the focus is on module selection. I've put together a set of modules that hopefully would satisfy most of UD's needs. We currently use Sakai as our LMS so Drupal's role is primarily for public websites for colleges, depts, programs, research centers, initiatives, faculty research groups, community sites, etc.... Drupal will also be used for internal collaboration sites.
