Drupal camp site...

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

At the Mini-Camp yesterday, several people (John, Robert, Josh R, Gregory H, Shawn, and I, and did I forget anyone?) set up a new Drupal 6 web site for Seattle Drupal Camps. I did a little more work on it today (mostly content creation, and a little additional tweaking). You can see the process we went through (including module list) in this wiki: http://groups.drupal.org/node/18879.

I'd also like to extend a big thank you! to those who participated in the all-day session yesterday. You were all a great help, and your time, editing, module downloading, content type creation, and ideas were all greatly appreciated.

The site is at http://seattle.drupal-camp.org/ - there is some content you will not be able to see/use unless you log in. If you would like an account, contact me (user contact form if you link to my user name above) or leave a message here. We currently have account registrations disabled (spam issue, see below).

The site is nearly ready to go. We could use some help and/or answers with the following:

a) Visit the site and see if you have any comments/questions/corrections. Leave comments here, please (or edit if you have permission).

b) Do we have plans for t-shirts for this year's camp? Do you want to just sell last year's t-shirt again? Let me know.

c) If you would like to suggest locations for this or other camps, they can now be entered in as Venue content on the new site (if you have an account, see above).

d) Currently, user registration on the new site is turned off, because we already got spam registrations (they were set to "blocked", so no harm done) in the short time it was enabled yesterday through this morning. So we need to set up some kind of anti-spam for user registrations for the site. Any suggestions? I think Gregory suggested Mollom -- is that enough to block most of the registration spam? I don't think individual moderation is practical, since people will need to register to sign up for the camp, etc.

e) A better theme? If somone wants to volunteer to create a nicer theme, or has one to suggest, leave a comment here. I am having an issue with the current theme (Garland with modified colors), that the main area is too narrow to accomodate data entry forms. It's not gorgeous either, but that is probably OK.

Regarding anti-spam...

Getting anti-spam set up is my highest priority for the site. I'm leaving for DrupalCon DC next Thursday, and I'm hoping to open the site so people can start proposing sessions before then. So any thoughts on this would be most welcome.

Taken care of

Thanks, Gregory...

Group members: you can now create an account, set up your profile, and propose sessions for our not-scheduled-yet April camp. Let me know if you experience difficulties, or if the site is unclear, etc.

Downsized MarketSign image attached

I downsized the front page MarketSign image from 1MB PNG to 47KB JPG and attached it to this message.

The new image is 520px wide, same as the HTML parameter.

Please FTP new image to /sites/seattle.drupal-camp.org/files/MarketSign_f_520.jpg and substitute it for the large PNG on the front page.

Thanks,
John

Thanks!

I've put the new image up there. Definitely loads faster. Thanks for making that (and noticing it could be done) --
