April meetup?
I'm simply wondering if there are any plans for an April Drupal meet-up. Has this group decided on any standard monthly dates to get together?

Help With OG Galleries
I've been wrestling for weeks with trying to set up a site using organic groups with photo galleries, and I'm having a terrible time getting the galleries set up. Does anyone have a little time to help me get this set up? I'm willing to get together anywhere in the Portland area or even over the phone. What's left of my hair is going to be pulled out before I get this figured out.
Thanks.

BarCamp Portland
I propose we have the May Drupal meeting at BarCampPortland. Below are details on BarCamp...
What is BarCamp? It is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants.
Tech + Geek + Culture. The event for the Portland tech community, produced BY the Portland tech community.
BarCamp is a FREE event and the content is determined by the attendees. The event will be hosted at CubeSpace, which has a number of conference rooms for breakout sessions, a large main meeting area, wireless access, easy access to public transportation, bike storage, and ample parking.

PDX Peace Drupal site
Howdy,
This spring I've been building a drupal website, and although I've talked with a couple folks in the Portland group, I haven't put it out here on the group list, so here it is - http://www.pdxpeace.org
The PDX Peace site is for a new coalition of peace/antiwar/social justice groups and individuals in Portland, formed during the organizing of the peace rally/march on 4/18/07 on the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. We're gearing up the website to be a resource for community organizing.
A priority right now is integrating CiviCRM as a organizing database - connected to the login - and be able to collect information from people while they are signing up - I somehow can't seem to manage getting a form from CiviCRM showing up in the registration page (instead of the webform we have now to 'join').
Other obvious 'to-do' items might be using OG for action groups, or use of views/cck, or Panel views for better organized front page items. I'm currently running this site on shared dreamhost server, but but thinking about getting it on an environment that might be better for running civicrm (bryght?).
Any comments, suggestions, ideas/tips or best practices for community organizing drupal websites, would be much appreciated. And if anyone is interested in helping out with the nuts and bolts of CiviCRM or pointing to the right place for information would be helpful.

Bus Project Tech Team meeting
Several people at the June PDX Drupal meeting seemed interested in hearing more about the Bus Project's tech needs -- especially how we're using Drupal, and what changes we'd like to make to our Drupal site(s) as we go forward.
We have a standing Tech Team meeting on the forth Monday of each month, which means the next meeting will be June 25th, at Bus HQ (333 SE 2nd, the same spot as the Drupal meeting). If you're interested, we'd love to have you come help the Bus Project explore the area at the intersection between participatory politics and technology.

Building install profiles for DrupalEd
From the longer post on the wiki page:
The DrupalEd project is now live on Drupal.org -- we are now ready to use the issue queue to centralize discussion on the different install profiles. In starting to discuss the profiles, I suggest we use the following format, as we will need to answer these questions as we build the various profiles.

It's that time again. Drupal meeting this Wednesday Please post your comments and topic suggestions.
Andrew thought that a review of what made it into Drupal 6 would be in order. Also we can just do problem solving sessions.
Bus Projects needs the main space at 8pm, so at 7:45 we will move to the Kitchen or the near by Produce Row Cafe/Pub (groups choice)
ciao,
