August Group Meeting - Access Control in Drupal
It's that time again... Time for another group meeting! This month's topic by popular demand will be "Access Control in Drupal" by Cathy Behrendt.
We may be able to cover another topic as well--We don't know right now if it'll be ready in time, but I should get notice on Friday or Saturday if it will be. I'll update this event either way.
So the agenda:
1) Access Control in Drupal
2) ???
3) General Q/A

The University of Michigan Library just decided to use Drupal as their new content management system. You can find a list CMS that they evaluated and the criteria that they used at http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/blt/archives/2008/07/drupal_mlibrary.html.
Read morePivots Module
I found this and thought it was interesting to hear. Last summer there was a DUG meeting and the pivots module was presented then(http://groups.drupal.org/node/5070). It is about a year later and is in full production live on the drupal.org website (http://mrzhou.cms.si.umich.edu/drupal-users-welcome-pivots-recommendatio...).
I e-mailed Daniel and asked if he would come present the module again at the group. Maybe everyone else should give him a nudge and let him know we may be interested in hearing about it again (daniel lives in the A2 area).

Staying Current requires the right feeds.
I pride myself on keeping current on Drupal news and especially on new Drupal modules. One way I do that is I read alot of RSS feeds daily. Every morning when I sit down to begin my day I start with reading my aggregated feeds on my website - http://www.hofmockel.org/aggregator/categories
- I find the Planet Drupal aggregated RSS feeds a little too inclusive - http://drupal.org/planet
Here is an export of my aggregator_feed table (Just the Drupal related ones). Of course you could just read it directly on my site if you like. But if you only read one make it the "New Module" list on Drupal.org - http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0
Read moreTheme for Umich Habitat for Humanity page
Hello A2Drupal!
I currently help the UM student chapter of Habitat for Humanity by providing support for their website (http://umhabitat.org). I set up a drupal cms for the group, and the site functions well for their purposes. Unfortunately, I have very little artistic ability, and even less graphic design sense. Therefore, the site uses the standard Drupal theme. Would anyone in this group know a design firm (or individual) who may be willing to donate their time to develop a theme for the site? Please feel free to email me at eric.roeder@gmail.com. Thanks for your help!
