Over the last two years we've seen a rise of Drupal business summits. In 2010 Acquia held Drupal business summits in NYC, Washington, Chicago, and San Francisco. http://revolution2010.acquia.com/
In 2011/2012, local communities organized Drupal business summits in San Diego, Atlanta, Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago, and NYC.

Drupal 7 Trainings
OpenSourcery, in partnership with Acquia, offers two Portland-based Drupal 7 workshops each month:
- Drupal 7 in Day (Monday, July 9 from 9:30am - 5pm)
- Site Building with Drupal 7 (Tuesday and Wednesday, July 10 & 11 from 9:30am - 5pm)
Either is is complete on its own, but they combine to make an excellent foundation for site builders and content managers. They're hands-on and suitable for newcomers to Drupal as well as experienced users of earlier versions looking to get familiar with Drupal 7.

Looking for OSCon volunteers
The Drupal Association has secured Drupal a table at OSCon in the new Projects Pavilion. There may be a full pass or two involved, but I'm pretty sure all volunteers will have full access to the Pavilion (but not necessarily the presentations).
Let me know how much time you could commit to the table in the comments below and please sign up.
Edit: signups here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgNXItUG41KDdFNhNlhkMWxyVXl...

Front-end meetup - June 2012
This month we're doing an "Intro to Responsive Themes." We'll cover a bit of the theory then dive into a couple of base themes that can help us get closer to those goals, including Zen and Omega. We'll also touch on a couple of themes built by some of our local people - Boilerplate (by danlinn) and Hexagon (with help from penguininja).

RedHen CRM Demo
Last Tuesday I did a 20 minute demo of RedHen CRM at the PDUG meetup here in PDX.
This demo was based upon a sandbox sample install profile (and make file) at:
http://drupal.org/sandbox/seanberto/1490420
We'd love for you to check out the project. The sandbox is a lot like Commerce Kickstarter, in that it simply provides an example of what you can do with RedHen.
A quick run down of what you might want to check out in the distro:
- Ability to manage custom entity bundles for contacts and organizations.
Do Front-end Developers need to code custom modules, too?
I have 4 years experience in building and theming Drupal websites. I also like creating new designs in Photoshop and converting them to beautiful, interactive themes. My specialty is called Front-end Development and my skills are in HTML5/CSS, jQuery, some PHP/mySQL. Recently, as I've been browsing the Drupal job ads, I noticed several companies were advertising for Front-end Developers who also can do custom module development.

I don't know who is involved in OSCon in the Portland Drupal Community. Do we have a booth? Do we have volunteers? Will I get to meet Stallman? Will Linus rant on stage about Gnome?
Let me know what you know so we can drum up some support for a Drupal presence if there is not already one - or help strengthen the drupal Drupal presence that may already exist..

User Log in
https://wlfriends.org/accounts/login is using a paraphrase over a username and password.
The smart thing about a paraphrase over a username and password is the paraphrase is the key to the encryption so every user uses an unique encryption. just like pgp. This is brilliant i can not believe this was not used 10 years ago for log-ins.

CiviCRM meetup group
We'll be having a local meetup, now on the east side by popular demand. Those using CiviCRM or interested in using CiviCRM are welcome.
FYI: CiviCRM is an open source CRM project 6 years in the making that integrates with Drupal 6 and Drupal 7. CiviCRM is designed with the typical non-profit, association or civic organization in mind. The Drupal Association uses CiviCRM.

Multisites with Shared Main Menu
Currently I have a multisite installation of about 8 sites (sub directory multi sites - NOT subdomain). I am wondering what some thoughts are about implementing a shared menu. Essentially, I want the top level (primary links) to be each site and then the subsequent levels will pull the menu trees from the other sites.
I.e.
example.com
- test
- test 2
example.com/site1
- test 3
example.com/site2
- test 4
- test 5
Menu (all sites)
EXAMPLE | SITE 2 | SITE 3
test test 3 test 4
test 2 test 5

Job + Networking Event - ShmoozaPalooza Portland
Hi PDUGers - I just wanted to share a Job + Networking event coming up next week from my friends over at Malakye.com -> it's called ShmoozaPalooza. Its mainly geared at the Outdoor/Actions Industry which has been a great fit for our company especially because we are Drupal developers like you and quite a few brands have chosen to work with us specifically because we know Drupal (and were friendly :)
So if you are looking for a potential job lead with companies like REI, Adidas, Trek Bikes, etc. come on down, slap fives and lets meet up.
