As discussed in Chennai Drupal Meet - 19-11-11 at UniMity Solutions we have planned to organize one day Drupal workshop in Jaya Engg College - FOSS Center on 3rd Dec 2011. As the title says, this workshop aims at students to give them an introduction to Drupal and site development in general. We believe this workshop will motivate a few students to choose Drupal as their career. Volunteers please add your name to Google Spreadsheet and help us to make this happen.

What is the Session about?

Understand the Open source Content Management System Drupal. Have hands on session on understanding how to install Drupal, key terminologies in Drupal & write a small custom module in Drupal.

We will also present the various career options that Drupal opens out to today’s graduates!

It was good that we had IRC meet today at 3.15 PM as planned, unexpectedly we failed to see a few volunteers. Hope you peoples will make your presence for the workshop. In the IRC meet essentially we arrived at a list of items to cover up in workshop. They are as below,

A brief presentation (covering topics from traditional html sites, web server, database server, dynamic sites, and Drupal, indeed.)
And for the Hands-on it will have Drupal installation and walk-through of admin settings and configuration. Along the way we will talk about Drupal directory structure, files and permission, etc.
Showcase the potential of contrib module with simple usecases like creating site user registration form, general web forms, photo gallery, blog, comment, etc.
Contrib modules we would cover includes any photo gallery module, views, webform, token, devel, meta tags and google analytics, etc.
Also a few troubleshooting tricks like fixing clean url, resetting admin password, recover from WSoD, etc.
How to stay connected with the community, ask for help and contributing to community.

Now we need volunteers to take up the topic of their interests, please fill in your name in Google spreadsheet . Contact Shyamala or me to get edit access. We need to arrive at volunteers list as soon as possible as to arrange for transportation and hospitality.

We welcome your thoughts, looking forward to hear from you.

@ayushiinfotech, Thank you

@ayushiinfotech, Thank you for offering to help us. The plan is to give equal opportunity for everyone. Ideally one session per volunteer presenting before the screen and the rest will be assisting the students on the fly. Perhaps you and Shyamala can pair up and do the Intro and final summary together. Btw, now you will have the edit access to spreadsheet.

@kannappa, this workshop is meant for students if you are a drupal developer you are welcome to join us as a volunteer.

Request for a Session.

Posted by Sabareesh Prasad on November 29, 2011 at 6:20am

I would like to take a session on How to install drupal7 in Linux. Optimistically hoping for the approval on my request.
Thanks in advance.

Indeed !! It was blissful to see the enthusiasm of the students and the opportunity to interact and teach Drupal to them.

On behalf of Drupal Chennai community, I thank professor Kumaran sir and other organizers from Jaya Engineering college for the opportunity to conduct workshop for 60+ students. Needless to mention their hospitality and support was awesome :-)
