September Way Out West Drupal User Group Meeting
The Way Out West Drupal meeting is geared toward Drupal beginners. Come with Drupal questions to discuss in a small group format. If no one comes with questions, we usually pick a video to watch from a past DrupalCon, and to pause and discuss it at various points as a group.
ServerLogic is in the One Embassy Centre building adjacent to Embassy Suites. The address is:
9020 SW Washington Sq Road, Suite 120
Tigard, OR 97223
DevMunch: Drush Site Aliases and Stage File Proxy
I'll go over the what, where, how, and why of Drush Site Aliases. Then +Darren Petersen will introduce Stage File Proxy, a Drupal module that enables you to make use of external server files on your local dev, without the need to download them. Finally, we'll go back to Drush Site Aliases and I'll point out how you can configure your $aliases array to automatically use Stage File Proxy after sql-sync.
How To DevMunch:
1. RSVP "Yes" to this Event and it will be added to your calendar.
2. 5-10 minutes before the event, I will create a Google Hangout and invite the "Yes" responders.

September Drupal User Group
With all the recent lightning and thunderstorms, it made me realize that we haven't had a lightning talk DUG in a while. So, this month Jesse will be kicking off the DUG with a short demo of the Custom Formatters module. Following that, we'll open things up to anyone who wants to give a 5 minute (or less) presentation.
Post a comment below if you'd like to give a lightning talk or if you'd like to present at a future DUG.

Zoundation Orbit Question
The slideshow works. Huzzah! However, in addition to the previous and next arrows and the bullets, my client wants a text "More" link to also advance to the next slide. I'm about half way through my Javascript lessons and this is over my head. Anyone available to help? Do I need to write an extra JavaScript function, edit a tpl.php file?

Read moreTheme Suggestions
The site I've been working on is getting close to completion, huzzah! I'm having loads more success with Zoundation; thanks very much to the funny monkeys et al.
Short of buying most of my co-workers a MacBookAir, how would you approach the discrepancies between the two screen captures shown? For example, the graphics missing from MSIE8 are all SVGs.
Would you toss an alternative theme at the MSIE 8 crowd?
Would you add modernizr tests?
Or is there a better approach that hasn't occured to me?
TIA

Portland nonprofit CRM panel discussion on RedHen, CiviCRM, Salesforce
Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center
Ecotrust Building
721 NW 9th Ave, Portland, OR
PDXTech4Good, an all-volunteer group, is hosting this free event that I thought might appeal to some Drupal folks. Three Portland-area developers will talk about the CRMs RedHen (built in Drupal), CiviCRM (integrates with Drupal, and lots of community cross-over) and Salesforce (used widely with Drupal sites).
It's specifically oriented toward nonprofits, community groups and activists, but anyone who uses CRMs might benefit.

Drupal Front-end meetup - August 2013
After the last couple months, some of you might be saying, "Enough with the super nerdy/geeky topics! Where's the pretty, designer-y stuff?" Well, I don't think we can avoid being geeky, but this month we will return to the aesthetics end of our front-end spectrum and talk a bit about typography and web fonts.
This will include:
- How to choose good typography, appropriate to your usecase
- Font resources
- Icon fonts + Sass
Using entity reference to filter results and display node title in Views
I seem to have stumped everyone in the Views issue queue as well as Stackexchnage, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer my thorny views question.
