Who's ready for DrupalCamp Philly?
Last week, about a week after I returned from DrupalCon Szeged, I attended DrupalCamp NYC, and as with most un-conferences, I left wondering "when can I get to one of those again?" So, I bought myself a plane ticket to San Francisco to hit up BADCamp (and chill with some Drupal friends whom I don't get to see nearly enough). And while I love an excuse to travel both near and far, it got me thinking, isn't it about time to hold a DrupalCamp Philly? Or, maybe we should reach beyond our borders and do a MADCamp (Mid-Atlantic Drupal Camp)?

If anyone is planning on attending DrupalCamp NYC, a week from Saturday, and would like a ride up to the Rotten Apple, I'm driving up on Saturday AM and will have some space in my ride. Anyone interested?

I am completely lost!
I am a brand-newbie when it comes to drupal. I had someone to help me with my site but that didn't really work out, and now I am in need of someone to help me gain some important knowledge so that I can properly build my site. I really need help with the menus, and with figuring out how the nodes are figured out. Please help. My email is motherprayer@gmail.com.
I do have some knowledge of drupal, but not enough. I'm a pretty quick study, but the tutorials only seem to offer half an explanation. I need a real person to explain this to me. Thanks in advance for your help.
Read more2009 Drupalcon Proposal
The purpose of this page is to gather thoughts on Philadelphia's proposal to the Drupal Association to hold North America's 2009 Drupalcon in Philadelphia. Please feel free to add any ideas or suggestions.
Questions that need to be answered:
-
What will be the legal entity contracting with vendors, putting down deposits, putting forward their credit history, etc. Presumably the answer is the Drupal Association.
-
What challenges might a local group face in working the Drupal Association?
-
Will Acquia put in $ and some other heavy lifting as they did for Drupalcon Boston?

Client Needed for Drupal Students
I've been teaching Drupal to a few of my friends for several months and they are at a point where they could use a client project to push them forward in real-world Drupaling.

Mt Airy Meetup at Canary was great. Again next month?
How about the week of June 9th? What day?
Read morePlease RSVP now for the Mt Airy Meetup at Canary
Please RSVP now for the Mt Airy Meetup at Canary. It's this Thursday at 7 (details below) so the sooner I know how many are coming the better. I need to make sure to have enough places for everyone to sit and clear out the necessary clutter. I estimate we can comfortably fit 8-10 people in here without moving furniture, so I need to know if there will be more than that.
Please rsvp in the comments.

Philly Drupal Meetup : April 17th
Nothing like a little last minute Drupal meetup to keep April interesting! Mason started the discussions around a Mt. Airy meetup, which looks like it's coming together for May. So lets fill the gap with another Old City meetup this week, Thursday the 17th.
Obvious choices are a show-and-tell at IndyHall, or a social at National Mechanics.
Opinions on which people would like to do?
Thanks!
Nate
I'd like to host a drupal meetup in Mt Airy (NW Philly)
Anyone interested in getting together to do a show-and-tell group in NW Philly? I've got space at my company's office where we can fit up to around 10 people, and I think it would be really great to have an informal group where we can go over projects, discoveries, techniques, and issues. It's a cool space on a cool block, easily accessible by Septa or car for those not in the area. And once we're done we go across the street for drinks and food.
Possible dates: Apr 22, 23, or 24, or May 6, 7, or 8. I could also have it on a weekend if there's interest.

Module Question
Hi Drupalers.
Not sure if Drupal groups is intended to ask drupal related questions, so feel free to put me in my place if I'm breaking the rules.
Just wondering if anyone is aware of a module that would tell a registered user, and/or redirect them, to the last page they accessed the last time they were logged in?
This is for a client using the book module as an online course, so it's intended for those who don't complete the course in one sitting -- so when they come back next time they will know where they left off.
Read moreLate March/Early April Drupal meetup
Hey,
The next PHP meetup isn't until April 29th - it's going to be an educational event and should be a pretty good one -- the topic is testing, which will become increasingly important to Drupal as well.
But in the meantime we should do a more Drupal-focussed event. In the past there's been requests for more collaborative, educational kinds of meetups. Who's got some ideas?
- 2-3 people doing Show 'n Tell of sites they've done recently
- 1-2 people walking through the code of a module they've built
- skip the planning and do an "un-meetup" and let a few people lead small-group discussions
Anyone else?
Read moreMeetup @ National Mechanics
We're planning another social for the month of March -- returning to National Mechanics for some beers and burgers. First of all, a bunch of people will be returning from Drupalcon Boston and will no doubt have interesting things to say about the state and future of Drupal. Secondly, I'd like to further the planning of an April PHP Meetup educational event on the use of tests in PHP -- unit tests, test driven development, etc. We have two potential speakers at this point, might be looking for one additional.
Read moreFebruary Meetup at the Nodding Head
Hey all- so it looks like the majority has spoken and we will be meeting up on Wednesday, February 27th, at 7:00PM. The meetup will be held at Nodding Head Brewery, located at 1516 Sansom St. on the 2nd Floor.
Please feel free to pass this on and hope to see you on Wednesday!
P.S. I tried to add this as an event, but the SPAM filter spit back this error:

Informal Drupal Meetup?
Given that there's no official Drupal meetup this month, is anyone interested in getting together for an informal pre-DrupalCon Drupal meetup? We could just meet for drinks, we could allow people to bring projects they're working on that they need help/advice on, or both/neither. Or, hell, we could just have a Drupal 6 release party.
Anyway, I'm obviously down for a meetup before DrupalCon (I need a drink and am grasping at straws here people!), anyone else?
Read morePHP Security Event
So I wasn't able to muster a Drupal Group event for this month. We were planning a PHP Meetup social, but just found out there's a presentation by the Open Web Application Security Project taking place the same night (Tues Feb 19) at Drexel. The topic is developing and deploying secure PHP apps, so the PHP Meetup kids are going to attend that event. Details are below. All are certainly welcome and I'm sure there will be plenty of info useful to Drupal developers as well. And afterwards we'll head over to Mad Mex for some beer and burritos.
Next month, a number of us are heading to Boston for Drupalcon '08. I thought for a local event towards the end of March we could have some of the folks who went talk about what they learned and what they saw that was cool -- really, just a big roundtable discussion kicked off by some of the sessions and lessons from Drupalcon. Still working on a date and location for that.
Anyway I hope to see some of you at the event on Tuesday the 19th, and I know I'll see some of you in Boston!
Nate.
