Paid work - Help Needed
Hi Fellow NS Drupal-ers,
Sorry I wasn't able to make it to the meetup, super busy - I'm sure you all know how it is.
Speaking of which - I have a client that I do work for after hours which I simply am unable to put in all the hours they require. I know you're all a talented bunch and am wondering if anyone would be able/willing/interested in helping out with the project in their spare time. (It's paid, don't worry).
Ping me if you're interested!

Group Logo
Attached is a first stab I took at a logo for our group so we can have some t-shirts done up. The feedback from the group was to make the blue X from the NS flag in the background look more flag-like, but thought I'd put it out to the group before making any changes in case anyone wants to take a crack at altering this one or doing something different. The attached file is a fully editable PDF. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
Read moreSix-month priorities for the group
During our last meeting we took some time to work through a few "big picture" questions about the group's general direction and priorities.
It was a pretty informal session, but generated a lot of discussion and some great ideas. Perhaps most importantly we were able to come to some concrete decisions about how the group will move forward over the next few months and beyond.
