i'm very new to the platform and looking for at all the support options i can find! i'm definitely interested in plugging into the group -- user groups have been very helpful in the past -- so count me in.

I really enjoyed my first meeting last month and am looking forward to learning more.

Will a projector be available?

I don't have one handy. We can do without I suppose, but it would be nice to know ahead of time.

There is a projector at

There is a projector at Caroline for tonight. The only projector issue I was having was for Saturday, and I have that solved now.

Stuart: came across this this morning http://www.moe.gov.sg/about/org-structure/etd/
While it doesn't look like what you want, it does serve the purpose well and degrades well (to an unordered list). This is kind of what I was looking to create. You could go the step further and put boxes around them. The images are in css.

TallDavid: Wrote to trellon, and will update the other thread when I hear more from them and from the Women's Center

All: I left my Pro Drupal Development book (and various papers) at the Caroline Collective. Anyone happen to pick them up?

Org Chart

This might be helpful. Don't know why it isn't on drupal.org though.

The easiest reason that I can

gilbertovelasquez's picture

The easiest reason that I can fathom for not wanting it to be on drupal's main site would be that the developer does not want to commit to support it in perpetuity and not be hounded with bug issues. There is thus no long term commitment to upkeep, nor does the developer need to pledge to have it ready for the next iteration of Drupal. As a marketing guy, that is what I would do if I felt that I did not wish to be hassled with it.

I am sure that is exactly the

I am sure that is exactly the reason, but in the open source community, contributing modules is sort of how you "earn your stripes," so if you write a module and don't contribute it, you sort of miss out on your brownie points. Most people involved in open source projects want/need those brownie points, which is great because then people contribute their stuff. So, this may be great code, but you have to know going in that you are on your own. If I were to use it, I would probably encourage the author to add it to drupal.org, and I would probably also volunteer to help with its maintenance.

Thanks
