Maine Drupal User Group (MDUG) meets occasionally, sometimes on the second Tuesday of the month, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. eastern.
We will have a Zoom set up for people to connect remotely, and sometimes we'll plan to meet in Portland (when we can arrange a meeting place, and when people are available to come). The Zoom connection will be available for all the meetings, so you can connect remotely even if some of us are meeting in person.
Sign up for the email list at http://pugmaine.com. We will circulate the Zoom connection info. and meeting locations via the email list. If you have trouble adding yourself to the list or have questions, contact Todd Woofenden at todd.woofenden@acquia.com .
Maine Drupal User Group: E-commerce with D7 and Drupal Commerce
Adam Courtemanche will demonstrate how to plan and setup an e-commerce website using Drupal 7 and Drupal Commerce. In addition to the basic setup, if others are interested, Adam will explain more advanced topics such as mass product imports through Migration classes, automated product display creation and more (time permitting).
Drupal Commerce is considerably different from Ubercart (more robust), so be sure to join us even if you have Ubercart experience.
No charge; open to the public.

Dylan Riordan presents at the September Drupal User group meeting in Portland, Maine:
Introduction to Panels
Panels is a drag and drop layout manager developed by the same prolific architect that brought us Views.
This presentation will cover basic usage of Panels, and how to make it an integral part of your development workflow.
We'll also touch on other related modules from the Panels ecosystem as well as alternate approaches such as the Context module.
How does it all fit together? What is a variant? Um.. contexts??? Don't panic, these questions and more will be answered.
Introduction
Hello Maine group. I just wanted to quickly introduce myself. My wife and I are moving to mid-coast Maine in mid-Sept. I have been developing sites with Drupal for the last 5 years. My largest client is Kentucky Christian University. Their maine site, athletics sites, and library are all running on D6 with the soon to be launched bookstore site running D7 Drupal Commerce. I am looking forward to getting together with you guys and talking Drupal.
Read moreIs there a table listing D6 contributed modules that have been ported to D7?
To date I have found no quick way to determine which Drupal 6 contributed modules have been ported to Drupal 7.
This information is critical to version selection, and to site building.
Do you know of one, such as an automatically-updated table that provides this information?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Maine Drupal-Groups group - Transfer?
I've been asked by members of the southern Maine's Drupal User Group, which meets in Portland, Maine monthly (aka PUGMaine Drupal User Group) to see about transferring the management of this Drupal Group to our group managers.
One of the members tried contacting the current group organizer, without response, so I'm throwing it out there: Any objections, or comments?
Thanks!

Adam Courtemanche, Transit ID (Portland)
Thomas Scola, Rinck Advertising (Auburn)
