Build a Module.com mentored training in Edinburgh
I'd like to run a one-day, mentored, video based training session, possibly as a part of next years Drupalcamp.
I think we'd need 5 or more mentors, ideally with diverse skills so we can help with a variety of questions. If you're willing to volunteer as a mentor, please leave a comment here.

Greenmantle feedback - November Edinburgh Drupal Drinks
Thanks to everyone who came along last Thursday to what was the best attended Drupal Drinks in a long time. I counted 11 of us at one point!
Next Edinburgh Drupal Drinks will be December 1st. I'll announce the venue soon.
We're trying out different places to meet each month for the foreseeable future, or until we find somewhere we really like to call our regular spot. Please share your thoughts on the Greenmantle in Newington.
Here's my take on it:
- beer: good.
- food: my cod and chips was passable. They do buffalo burgers too but I didn't see what those were like.
Drupal Scotland Awarded DA Community Cultivation Grant
Drupal Scotland has just been awarded a $1500 grant (just under £1k) from the Drupal Association to support Scotland's third DrupalCamp, due to be held in May 2012 (dtbc). This will be a 2 day event with a presentation/networking event (aimed at business, government and higher education), a 'Hello Drupal' event for complete beginners, and a multi-session DrupalCamp event for all. The grant will be used for venue hire and other costs with the goal of raising enough additional sponsorship for the event to be free to attend.

Just got back from Drupal drinks, where we've discussed changing the venue.
Holyrood 9A do good burgers and beers, but it's always a bit too noisy to have a conversation and certainly to do any kind of tech presentations.
The suggestions we've come up with:
- White Horse, Royal Mile
- Counting House, Newington
- Old Bell, Newington
- Greenmantle, Newington
There's a bit of a southside bias there, because all of us there tonight live or work there! ;)

If you can't wait until the next Scottish Drupalcamp, there's a camp taking place later this month over in Ireland. DrupalCamp Derry is on October 22nd and 23rd 2011, and over the two days will feature something for everyone: structured training and Q&A sessions for beginners alongside developer sessions on the 22nd, and more community-focussed topics on the 23rd.
You'll find more information on http://www.drupalcampireland.org/ as well as in the Drupal Ireland group, http://groups.drupal.org/ireland.

Venue for next Glasgow meetup
At last night's meetup our newest face (and fourth Paul) suggested some great new ideas for meetup venues. We all liked the idea of finding a suitable venue for a more structured meeting with a handy pub nearby to retire to after presentations. Preferably somewhere free!
Paul suggested:

Seeking project work
I have been working with Drupal for about 8 Months now and have been the lead in building 3 Drupal based sites for my current employer City of Glasgow College. My experience is growing and I am learning new ways to move forward with Drupal, I am looking for some small projects I can work on in evenings or weekends to enhance my knowledge base or work as part of a larger team providing Drupal based Solutions.
Read moreRegular date for Drupal Drinks Edinburgh
It looks like Drupal Drinks Glasgow are going to be on the third Thursday of the month.
So in light of that, let's figure out when to have the Edinburgh Drupal Drinks.
Thursdays work well as a day for me personally, and they have for other Edinburgh Drupalers in the past too. On the other hand, one of the aims of co-ordinating these is to allow central belt people to attend both, or alternate. If they're on Thursdays in both cities, someone only free on that day is out of luck :/ For me personally, that would only leave Wednesdays.
So your opinions and ideas please:
Read moreRegular date for Drupal Drinks Glasgow
There's a rumour going around that somebody somewhere suggested we fix Drupal Drinks Glasgow to the third Thursday in the month so we can have a permanent repeating event in the calendar and not have to think about it every month.
Sounds like a plan to me. Does anybody think otherwise?
