Lullabot Drupal 7 Module Development Deep Dive Workshops
The week of June 13th, Lullabot will be offering two back-to-back Drupal development workshops at the new Lullabot Activity Center in Providence, RI. The workshops are Basic Drupal 7 Module Development (June 13th & 14th) and Advanced Drupal 7 Development (June 15, 16, & 17). You can sign up for each workshop individually, or sign up for the whole week, save some money, and become a Drupal 7 development super-hero!
Lullabot Drupal experts Jeff Eaton (eaton), Joe Shindelar (eojthebrave), and Michelle Lauer (miche) will be spending an entire week in beautiful Providence, RI teaching attendees how to customize and extend Drupal 7 and bend it to their will! Spend an entire week with Lullabot and get an in-depth understanding of Drupal 7 development.
We'll work from an example site, and extend the functionality by adding additional features via custom modules we'll write over the course of the week. We'll talk about how Drupal works under the hood and how to approach writing a Drupal module, providing best practices from our experience. There will be plenty of exercises, examples and always room for questions!
Early-bird discount price is good through May 13th (this Friday!) and space is limited, so register soon.

RDF code sprint in Boston May 7th/8th
The RDF module in Drupal 7 core is a good starter solution for publishing RDFa, but there is so much more to be done with RDF and SPARQL. I'm organizing a small code sprint in the Boston/Cambridge area to gather the local Boston developers interested in bringing the semantic web capabilities of Drupal further. We'll be tackling mostly the issue queues of the RDF and SPARQL modules, plus any other modules you might be interested to integrate with RDF.

***as expected, the date conflicts with the North Shore Web Geeks, so I am changing the date to the 26th. ***

Fix the notifications page...
I'd like to sign up for email notifications to this group (so I'd find out about things like the Dojo tonight), but the notifications page (http://groups.drupal.org/user/614449/notifications) has been broken for a very long time (403). Does anyone know who might be able to fix it, and if so, can you light a fire under their butt to do so?
Thank you!
