My Vote

I vote for a meeting. I am just starting to move two sites over to Drupal (see job posting) and would love to pick people's brains. Where will the meeting be held?

Drupal 6?

Posted by drewish on July 9, 2007 at 6:22pm

Is anyone interested in seeing an installation and demo of Drupal 6? I'd be willing to spend a few minutes on that.

heck yeah

Posted by yopyop on July 9, 2007 at 7:04pm

definitely!

I'm always interested in

Posted by yopyop on July 9, 2007 at 6:48pm

I'm always interested in anything related to successful nonprofit/advocacy/campaigns using Drupal, particularly with CiviCRM or another database conjoined with an email function.

I got the sense from a couple people at the last meeting that they might be interested in getting together a separate meetup for those working on or interested in advocacy oriented stuff. If anyone is interested get ahold of me and let's talk about setting something up.

I know it would have been great to talk about this at the bus project meeting.. next time, I guess

best

nonprofit/advocacy/campaigns

Posted by jsimonis on July 10, 2007 at 2:58am

That's primarily where I do my work, although I do a few small businesses as well. I'd used CiviCRM some in the past, but until a few months ago had never used it heavily. We're now using it for both the volunteer/supporter database, but also for CiviMail. It took a while to get all the settings right, but it's great to have an open source solution like this one.

Too many of the big companies that host this kind of service are extremely expensive, and definitely have different views on issues than we do.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the meeting, as I have a 5 year-old who obviously can't stay home by herself.

Flexynode -> CCK

Posted by skeen on July 13, 2007 at 3:24pm

Hey great meeting guys, it was very cool to see the group help members with the issues they were having w/ Drupal.

Towards the end some mentioned using a module for converting flexynode's to cck and that they had good success. Do you have a link to the one you used? (and any words of wisdom from the experience)

cheers,
sam
