Program on Nonprofit Blogging
I'd like let you all know about an upcoming Net Tuesday event (January 6th, at 6:30pm at Indy Hall) on Nonprofit Blogging. Go to this page for details and to RSVP.
This might be of interest for Drupal developers who build sites for nonprofits.
Thanks and hope to see you there.

Thanks and Happy New Year

Read moreQuestion about appropriateness of Drupal Camp for Non-techies
Hi all. This is going to be my first Drupal Camp experience. Yesterday I was at one of my nonprofit clients where there are a number of staff people and Americorp Vistas that I have set up with Drupal sites for projects and programs. I told them about Drupal camp and they were enthusiastic about attending. However, on looking at the agenda, I'm second guessing my advice. I want to make sure it's not going to be over their heads.
So, my question:

Sponsorship Packages
During the planning session for the upcoming DrupalCamp we discussed the need for sponsorship packages to help offset the costs of the event, which should end up costing about $7,000 or so, and we decided to come up with sponsorship packages. Below are my initial thoughts on DrupalCamp Philly sponsorship packages, but please keep in mind that some of the items are are up in the air, as we're still not certain whether we'll be able to offer up tables during the lunch session or whether we can put up signs on any of the rooms. Please leave any thoughts, questions, complaints, etc. in the comments. Please note that at least one of my suggestions would alter the timetable slightly.

Read moreTentative date/location for DrupalCamp Philly - Nov 19th!
So, we have some trouble with the university locations not being available during the day -- got very close but couldn't make it work. Next time we'll know to plan MUCH farther ahead if we want a university during the day.
Read moreDC Doc sprint
As some of you may know, I've been neck-deep in Drupal's Doc team work. The doc sprints that we have had at the last two Drupalcons have been a ton of fun and very productive. I'd like to run a local sprint down in DC sometime before the end of the year. The basic idea that I am thinking right now is to find a location that will let us camp out with wifi for about 4-6 hours on a weekend. I'd be there the entire time but others could just drop by as they had time. I'd be there to help folks get situated, find docs tasks that they find interesting and generally answer questions.

Session ideas
Let's hear your ideas for sessions! Especially if you're willing to speak on the topic yourself. I think we should shoot for a mix of single-speaker sessions, panel discussions, and facilitated group discussions. Feel free to indicate how you'd like to see each session or topic handled, and/or if you're offering to host a session, how you'd like to host it.

Last updated by jimshreds on Mon, 2008-09-29 16:15
Here are some possible venues that have been mentioned:
- Penn
- Drexel
- University of the Arts
- University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP)
- Frankilin Institute
- BaseKamp
I really favor the colleges, because (1) the facilities are a natural fit for what we need, and more importantly (2) there's a decent chance of picking up students, university staff, and faculty who would add to the community.

Help me with PHP issues in Drupal
I am trying to learn PHP, as well as build a Drupal site. It is going to be a resource site for women in crisis. This is still in the planning phase, but I do have the site up and Drupal has been installed. What I want to know is how I can edit the PHP for certain things without breaking the site, and what the best method would be for setting up the menus and layout. I am a bit of a beginner, but I do know how to code, and I know MySQL also. Please help if anyone is available.

What kind of conference could Drupalcon Phillly model itself upon?
Drupalcon in Philly would be pretty ambitious at this point, but not out of the question (referring to the Drupalcon proposal here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/12971 ).
