The Santa Cruz Drupal User's Group is looking to connect Drupal users in and around Santa Cruz, California.
We have a budding tech community in Santa Cruz. One factor in our tech growth is the use of Drupal at several local web shops, start-ups, and organizations. Drupal use at UC Santa Cruz is also growing and it's time we all got together to share knowledge and learn from each other.
We (almost always) meet on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7pm. Meetings are free and held at NextSpace at 101 Cooper Street in downtown Santa Cruz. All are welcome. Ring the buzzer to get let into the building.
Note - If the meeting day falls on a holiday or during the winter holidays (e.g. January), then we might reschedule or cancel the meeting but there will be a discussion or event here for it.

RFQ for Higher-ed CRM project based on Drupal
Cal State Monterey Bay is looking for a great team to help with a CRM project for managing student relationships. Our team is committed to Drupal; however, we just have so many projects that we need your help to get this one out the door!
We are expecting to release this project as an open-source install profile after we've tested it on our campus, and we hope that interested firms are equally excited to do work that will benefit both our campus and other universities and colleges as well.

Drupal User Groups in California
Last updated by christefano on Sun, 2013-03-24 04:42
About this page
This is a list of the known Drupal user groups in California. Here are some of the things that can be done with this information:
- It is now much easier to find the California groups you'd like to join. Just click the name of the group you want to join and click the "Join" link in the sidebar of that group's page.
- If you are creating a new group in California, list it here to let others know about it.
- Depending on how #1074208 (Add a location field to group node) goes, a California-specific map showing the user groups can be created using this information (e.g. a Google map with markers showing the locations of all the groups and their meetups)
- Add your ideas here!
August Santa Cruz Drupal User Group Meeting - Aug 2nd 7pm at Nextspace Downtown
For the next Santa Cruz Drupal user group meeting, Julia van der Wyk will be presenting about a topic that is not specific to Drupal so feel free to invite your non-Drupal friends to come along as well.
Julia will be discussing how to help your clients write and organize content for their website. This is relevant in how thinking about content changes once you are in a CMS vs. when you are using static pages.
We may have time for another topic as well if someone else wants to present something. Please let a comment if so.

(Cancelled) Carpool to Silicon Valley DUG Meeting Wed June 15 5:30pm
Does anyone want to carpool to the SVDUG next Wednesday, June 15. It's from 5:30 PM to 8pm so we'd need to leave around 4:45pm. I should be able to drive and I have a mini-van now so can take a lot of people.

[update 5/13/11] Going to head out of town instead... let's try to carpool for the July meeting if I'm in town.

I'm wondering if anyone from Santa Cruz is going to the Sacramento Drupal camp? The timing is not very good for me... pushing out this big site on June 4th. I signed up anyway in case I can go though I think it's probably not going to happen... I would need to stay over night if I went because of the long drive.

Santa Cruz Drupal Group meeting tonight (7:00pm, Next Space)
Hello,
I'm preparing my notes for the presentation on WYSIWYG editor configurations based on the presentation from Jen Lampton (by popular request). I thought I'd post my outline with resource links for those who enjoy such things:
Resources from Chapter Three:
http://www.chapterthree.com/presentations/wysiwyg-editors
Step by Step walkthrough:
Modules in use:
WYSIWYG API
WYSIWYG filter
Better Formats
Insert
Image Resize Filter
Filefield Sources
IMCE
ImageField Crop
Steps of Process:
Part 1: Input formats
Training: Custom content, fields & Lists (Days 2 & 3)
Custom Content, Fields and Lists
This two-day workshop will explore modules and configurations you can combine to build more customized systems using Drupal. You’ll create many examples of more advanced configurations and content displays using the Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views modules. We’ll guide you through the complex User Interfaces that Drupal provides for controlling and customizing the many different ways to present lists and tables of your site’s content.
