Our Downtown Los Angeles Drupal meetup in December is on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 and once again we're combining it with our annual holiday party and food drive.

Last updated by DavidMorris on Sun, 2015-10-11 02:53
This wiki document provides a how-to and checklist for recording, sharing and uploading videos of presentations and meetups for the video channel at https://vimeo.com/GLADrupal published for and by the Greater Los Angeles Drupal user group (formerly Downtown Los Angeles Drupal).
Although this wiki document details how things are being done now (i.e. at the time of this writing), the comments below are an excellent place to discuss and suggest how to improve this process, reduce its costs, generalize it for other user groups and make it more effective and / or collaborative.

Powering SDG&E (San Diego Gas & Electric) with Drupal
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is sending Matt Grill and Dan Montgomery from their IT Department to talk to us about their use of Drupal. Sensis Agency, our host for this meetup and a full service cross-cultural ad agency with digital at its core, produced a re-branding and re-launch of the SDG&E website last year on Drupal 7.
Since the launch, the IT Department at SDG&E has started to implement responsive design elements into their site. Matt and Dan will be telling us about Drupal as an enterprise-level solution and their work to continue to modify their website over the past year.
DrupalCamp Planning Meeting
We're planning a new DrupalCamp at the University of Southern California (USC) in 2013, tentatively named GLADCamp (Greater Los Angeles Area Drupal Camp). At this meetup, we'll be devoting an hour to growing our team of organizers and discussing the following:
- Findings from our DrupalCamp Site Visit to USC
- Identifying successes and challenges from Drupal Design Camp LA, the last camp we organized in October, 2012
- Choosing the name, size and scope for the event, and begin booking the rooms
Drupal After Dark: The Hobbit
Our San Gabriel Valley meetup coincides with the Holidays in both November & December. So instead of taking you away from your families, we're going to have some fun instead. Get ready to get geek on with your Hobbit feet! That's right, we'll be having a Drupal After Dark to go watch the midnight showing of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey!
We'll first be joining our friends at the San Gabriel Valley Linux User Group for their monthly meeting. The December topic is on Puppet/Chef. Their meetup starts at 7pm @CalTech. Afterwards, we go to a good local eatery with pretty good Mediterranean food at Burger Continental. After that, we'll head over to the Arclight in Pasadena & get in line for the movie.
Happy Holidays everyone & we hope you can join us for the movie (or maybe some Puppet AND Hobbits)!

How to keep views slideshow from switching when playing video?
I've created a views slideshow with photos and videos, but when I play the video, the slideshow switches to the next slide before the video gets a chance to finish. How do I keep the views slideshow from switching slides when a video is playing?
I tried to set the slideshow to "pause on click", as opposed to "pause on hover", but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
