Portland (Oregon)

I landed a few contracts with bay area clients that needed me to set up some drupal installations for them. I'm looking for a local (Portland) assistant to 1099 to. Low-impact, easy work, but you need to be available. What would be most helpful is if you were also good with xhtml/css and maybe graphic design. Especially if you could receive an html design and then make a drupal template out of it, or spruce up an existing custom template. I can handle all the more advanced stuff like custom php development and modules, although there will be opportunity to some of that stuff if I get busy enough with other work and need to hand it off. Maybe around 5 hrs/week to start, could be more. It should be ongoing work. Contact me here.

I was hoping to get involved in the Portland, Oregon, drupal group. I heard that you had meetings on the second Tuesday of each month, but I didn't see anything listed on the groups.drupal.org website. Will there be a meeting this Tuesday (Oct. 10, 2006)?

What is the time and location of the meeting?

I live about two hours outside of Portland, but would drive in for the meeting.

Thanks,
Ben

I am looking to network locally with someone who considers themselves "well seasoned" in regard to Drupal navigation schemes. Basically I’d like to get together over coffee/beer at a location that has WiFi so I can show you my site and pick your brain.

I’ve been experimenting with taxonomy and the Category module, but neither seems to fit my needs just right. Or perhaps I am not using them to their full potential. I have a few additional requirements around permissions and content posting, both related to navigation, that I’d like to brainstorm on.

This is my first Drupal project, although I am seasoned developer type.

We are organizing a days worth of Drupal related sessions at OSCAMP being held in conjunction with OSCON 2006 in Portland Oregon tomorrow. This will be a free event! Come spend the day hanging out, learning, and collaborating with others Drupal'ers in ad hoc sessions. If you are attending please edit this page on the OSCAMP wiki and put your name down and add suggestions for Drupal sessions if you have any.

I just wanted to make sure that folks in the )ortland area are aware of the Seattle Drupal Camp next week on wednesday and thursday. We have room for 40 and there are 24 Registered now. The event is free and fun and will include copiuous amounts of.... Hacking!

Bicycle Transportation Alliance
Web development (PHP/MySql/Drupal) Internship
Application deadline Monday, June 12th

Overview: The Bicycle Transportation Alliance seeks a part-time intern
to assist in the development of a new Bike Commute Challenge
website. This site will leverage the open source Drupal content
management system, which runs on a PHP/MySql platform. Among the
intern?s core responsibilities will be developing the module(s) which
will enable the core site features and integrating them into the rest
of the website. This project is guided by Lev Tsypin (of Level OS;

Update: We are still planning on holding this code sprint, but at different dates. We are actively working on lining up funding currently.

After talking with a lead Plone developer the other day who told me that code sprints are by and large hugely productive events for the Plone community I've decided to throw my hat in the ring to help organize one for Drupal.

Itinerary

The rough plan is to get a dozen or so serious Drupal hackers together for 3-5 days. Attendees should show up with a pretty good idea of what they want to work on and hopefully will be tackling problems that are best solved collaboratively. Every night we will go around and demo what's been accomplished during the day. If Drumm can come we'll have him help cook pancakes and big hippy/vegan dinners. We'll also make sure to have some fun outdoors.
