The Drupal community is a very exciting community and is growing rapidly. Vancouver Island is a great place to live and work. If you work with Drupal on Vancouver Island, well, you've got it made, don't you? Welcome to the Vancouver Island Drupal User Group.
Victoria Drupalites Social
At long last another meetup, perhaps a bit less formal than usual. After attending the Smith's Pub meetup I am hankering for another Pub adventure. This invite goes out to all those out there who have attended before or are even just curious.
There is a neat little spot just off of the lobby in the Executive House Hotel downtown called the Doubles Oyster Lounge.

Usually pretty much dead during the week, so we could pretty much take the place over.

Victoria meetup at Smith's Pub
We had a great impromptu meet up at Smith's Pub last night. First verdict is that Smith's Pub has great food (deluxe mini lamb burger's for $2 each during happy hour, complete with brie and spring greens) and a great beer selection. Unfortunately they were out of Howe Sound Hang Dog Hefeweizen in the 1L bottles, so I had to make do with some Belgium and Dutch beers that were there.
Other merry makers included:

Kris and I are hopping across the strait to Victoria for some meetings, and were wondering if some folks want to join us tonight (Thursday, July 19th) for a pint. We'll be at Smith's Pub from 7:30pm onwards or so.
Totally casual, just talking about life, the universe, and Internets.

Hey, Canadians! Internationalization patches for Drupal 6 need review!
Since I know internationalization is a big deal to Canadians, I figured I'd cross-post this to some groups. Please don't kill me, this is important. :) There's very little time to get these patches in before code freeze! (June 1)
The following patches desperately need reviews from people familiar with internationalization of site content. The goal is to get Drupal 6 to have internationalization right in core:
<
blockquote>
- translation of site settings, content types, user profile fields
and so on by storing translations of their string properties with

Greetings V-Isle Drupalers,
I regret to not personally having been able to make it to a Van Isle Drupal event yet... but I'd be remiss to not let this group know about an event I'm hosting out on Galiano Island. It's a Drupal hackfest, and anyone interested in following along the events development is very welcome to join the purpose built group here...

The flow for the event will go something like this...

Layout Gala CSS Layouts
All of the Layout Gala CSS templates have been uploaded at the following URL:
http://famillehache.com/layoutgala.zip
After sending an email to the creator of Layout Gala, he said that he was honored to have potentially use his templates for creating Drupal themes and said that giving him a simple credit in the code was enough. They had explored the option of creating a GPL licence but decided against it. Let me know if you would like to see his email.

Inaugural VIDUG Meet-up
Let's get together. This is a new group, and we don't know who we are, so let's get together and talk about Drupal. I suggest we hold our first meeting in Victoria, since that provides the best opportunity for the fewest people to travel to the meeting. I hope future meetings can be held in other strategic and beautiful locations on Vancouver Island, with an annual meeting at Tofino.
The purpose of the meeting will be to meet and greet, network, learn, share ideas and approaches, etc.
Special guest(s) to be announced.
So let's get together on June 8th at 7:00pm in Victoria at a location TBD.
