Spokane Day-time Learn/Co-Work Group April 16

If for some reason you all decide you need to cancel the April meeting, please call the Argonne library and let them know. (509) 893-8260. Thanks! (And of course, post here a few days before-hand.)

As you know, I don't ever have all the answers. It's instructive (I hope) for people to see the trial-and-error process when we all work together through a problem.

Like if someone says "Does anyone know anything about the [something] module?" and we download it and try it out. Or "How would you make a view to do this?" and we create one together.

I'm sure the meeting will go fine, anyway. There's quite a bit of Drupal and general Web knowledge in our group!

They have contact information on their site... but I'm really not sure what we can/should do there. When I emailed them previously they offered us space for a table in the exhibit hall. I personally don't want to be there all day exhibiting though, and I'm not sure what we could show in an exhibit that would be interesting/exciting to people who are likely to walk by and spend a minute or two at the most.

An hour or half-hour presentation might be more appropriate, or even a longer workshop. But it's really hard to tell from their web site if they're even having sessions, presentations, or workshops, and although I asked about this in my earlier contact with them, I didn't get any answers. I also had asked to be alerted when they were ready for submissions and didn't get alerted about that either. So, I really have no idea what's going on.

Any ideas of what would be good to do, if we did put something together?

Sorry about the post being so late. Our meeting went the distance and had a lot to discuss.

We actually had two new guests to the meeting. Both were armed with specific questions about a project they were involved in.
- One individual was from the sierra club http://www.sierraclub.org/ that is completely run with drupal (GO DRUPAL!). He represented the Spokane county chapter and had some questions about his portal. We all assumed that the site was built on something like organic groups as he had limited access to his section of the site. Because of this, we had to defer him to contacting the administrators of the site.
- Our second guest had an issue with the media module, and its inability to add content without getting an error (something like invalid provider). I had remembered a project recently that I had the same issue but since it had been a while I could not recall the fix. After much time I finally recalled the "simple" solution. The Media module was just recently upgraded and you had to go into the settings for that module and just hit save. It then recognized the YouTube Provider.

I did try to reach out to the folks at SFCC for Linux Fest and offer our support. I have not heard back from them. I used the contact link on the Linux Fest site. I will give it one more shot.

I will try to be more diligent about the meeting note on our next one (please schedule the meeting room) Hope you are having fun! Travel safe and we hope to see you back soon.
