Print and sign a form
I need to create a release form that can be printed by the user (the user then needs to sign form). Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? For now, I have created the form in Word and attached the form to a page. The user can click on the filename and use Word features to print out the form. I would like to have all of this Drupal so that the user displays the form, clicks a print button and prints the form on their printer.

Monster Media Sprint!
Fellow Media Moguls,
We're shaking off the dust from the Media module, which was sadly neglected during the heady Summer of Code, where we got Stream Wrappers into core! I'm excited to meet now with my fellow Drupalistas, and get the module presentable for Drupal 7 (and Drupal 6, if anyone is interested in helping on that front).

Free Coworking day at Workbar October 2
Hey all,
The place I just started coworking at, WorkBar, is having a free coworking day on October 2nd. Come on down with your laptop and your lunch, and work for free all day on their free WiFi! There's also free coffee, so SCORE!
Note: Unfortunately, I'll be heading to Western MA that day, so I won't be able to make it, but Evona (the office manager) is awesome, and there's plenty of cool independents working there all day - and tons of available desks. And did I mention free Wifi and coffee?

How To: Generate Random URL
(Reposting...last post was deleted)
For certain content on a site, I want to implement "security by obscurity" by having the posts show up only in restricted views and by making the URLs for those posts a set of random, unguessable characters (like Microsoft does with GUID).
So, I need guidance in two parts:
- What module (presumably CCK-related) or trick will create a set of random, unguessable characters that I can then use as replacement token in pathauto?
Mozilla Service Week
I, like many Drupalers (I imagine), maintain a number of sites for non-profits... some for pay, some for free. And I'm in Boston, the non-profit capital of the world (maybe?!) . ANyway, anyone who feels called to service or wants to dip toes in this (perhaps paying, perhaps volunteer) pool of work, I just got notice from Idealist.org that they are organizing a service week with Mozilla. Details below.

Our second heads-up is about Mozilla Service Week.

Drupal Help - Tutor for 1-2 hours a Week
I wasn't sure if this post belongs in the jobs section or not but since I am not a business and this is not a full-time or part-time job I decided to post in the discussion forum.
Currently, I am a Drupal beginner, learning the framework and building my site as I go. I've been to a couple of Boston Drupal meet ups, met some great people and have learned much. Lullabot videos, Lynda.com tutorials and the O'Reilly book, Using Drupal, are my main sources for learning. I have intermediate/advanced CSS and HTML experience but little PHP experience.

Come by with your laptop, whatever you're working on, and we'll sit and work together in the same space, give each other feedback/support, etc.
