Drupal Session and Open Lab - Saturday, Feb 7, 2-4pm in Ojai
We're hosting an open session on "Planning your next social media site" as part of next weekend's Super Happy Vlog House. This is mainly a discussion about planning Drupal projects for building social media sites.
What's a vlog house? It's like a super happy dev house, but for folks who love media making too. It's a place where people geek out over audio & video, software, programming, poetry, music, story-telling, television, film, web sites, new media and technology in general. We get together to share and learn, to have fun, to take a media walk, get things done and break bread.
Last time, folks asked for an intro session on Drupal. This session builds on that introduction and assumes a basic familiarity with content managements systems and social networks.
More than a demo of media-related modules, this is a facilitated group discussion around best practices, tools and services for building a new-media based web site or social network. Topics include: design considerations, platform features and choices, hosting services, out-sourcing, DIY, team-building, project planning, estimating resource requirements and costs. This session is aimed at people who are starting a new Drupal project, whether it be your first or not. This session is intended for content creators and project managers, as well as developers. The emphasis is on project planning.
Bring your questions, dreams and war stories. There is also an open lab with free wi-fi where you can meet-up with other Drupal heads and get into the details, experiment and try things out.

Time: 2pm-4pm
Date: Saturday, Feb 7
Location: Ojai Digital Dojo, Ventura, California 93023

Read moreLA Drupal Video Volunteers
At a recent meeting we asked if there would be LA Drupal members interested in helping edit down videos from our huge Drupal Camp at the Los Angeles Convention Center in 2008. We had three tracks over two days, and that video is very educational and we wish to share them with the larger Drupal community.
If you are a person who can help by accepting a unedited video from us and give back an edited version with what we need done to the video(s), then we'd like your help.
Please post your interest in volunteering by commenting below.
