This is a local user group for sharing knowledge about Drupal and networking with other folks in the greater Seattle web/tech community.
SeaDUG meets monthly to talk about Drupal, to plan related events, and to socialize. During SeaDUG meetings we showcase modules and projects, share tips and tricks, and answer nagging questions about Drupal.
We welcome participants from all skill levels and all disciplines related to website building and development - marketers, project managers, developers, designers, writers, devops, user researchers, QA, and more.
Stay in Touch
- Join the SeaDUG Slack workspace to chat regularly with other SeaDUG community members.
- Follow us on LinkedIn for more frequent news and Drupal-related content sharing.
Jobs
PLEASE do not post job offers in this group unless they are local to Seattle, or remote and open to people who live in Seattle. Any job posted to this group that is not in the Seattle/Puget Sound Metropolitan Area or open to its residents will be promptly removed.

Greetings again SEADUG,
Sorry again on not being able to stay for the duration of the last meeting. I will better introduce myself. I became a Drupal user about 1.5 years ago in Minneapolis and worked with several others in the initial creation of Twin Cities Open Circuit, http://www.tcopencircuit.org/ which operates as a tech skill share collective with a heavy focus on Drupal use. My career is much more involved in marketing, particularly SEO and viral marketing. I operated TCSEM back in MN: www.twincitiessem.com

Upcoming Events
Here's a quick list of the upcoming events we discussed at last Thursday's SeaDUG meeting:
LinuxFest Northwest - THIS WEEKEND, April 25 & April 26, Bellingham, WA, http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/ - Includes quite a lot of Drupal programming (talks and Drupal Clinic room on Saturday, Drupal mini-camp/BarCamp on Sunday). And it's free!
BarCamp Seattle - Sat/Sun June 13-14, Seattle, http://barcampseattle.org - Could include Drupal content (BarCamp means anyone who comes can contribute what they want to contribute). Free, I think?

LinuxFest Northwest is coming up soon -- April 25-26 in Bellingham, http://linuxfestnorthwest.org
We are planning to hold a mini-DrupalCamp at LinuxFest -- see http://groups.drupal.org/node/20345 for format.
However, deadlines are approaching! Only a few people (from Vancouver I think?) have signed up to give formal talks on Saturday (Jakob assures me that even though the deadline is past, if you sign up now (4/8), you can still get in). Please do so if you want to give a formal talk on Saturday.

Drupal book exchanges at meetings
We can generate more interest for the monthly meetings with book exchanges. Members bring Drupal books to the monthly meetings and exchange with one of these methods: Book drawings: The donor holds up the book and explains its significance. Anyone who wants the book draws from a deck of cards. High card gets the book. Book swaps: Two members swap their books at the meeting Book lending: Members lend to other members. If members agreed to make the exchange at meetings that would be another reason to attend.

I thought it would be nice to meet somewhere new (somewhere with food and drink). I'm thinking about Cafe Vita on Capitol Hill:

What do you think? Basically I'm looking for some major naysayers; otherwise let's give it a go.

Personalized content for portal site
Hi All,
Let's say I have a site built in drupal that is both producing new content and aggregating content from other sites. I was wondering if there was a module that would then allow someone to somehow choose categories of content that they would like to see.
MySite seemed promising but its d5

Anyone have any suggestions?

Lullabot Drupal Workshops in Portland, OR - May 4th - 8th
The Lullabot team is coming to Portland for another round of Drupal workshops, May 4th through 8th. This time they'll be taking place at the Hotel Monaco. As usual, we will try to organize a Drupal Meetup during the week. But if you or anyone you know is looking for some Drupal learnin', here's your chance! The week includes both our Theming workshop and our Module Development workshop, and you can sign up for both to save some money on each.
You can find out more information about these and other Lullabot training events at http://www.lullabot.com/training

DrupalCampPDX Dates
We've picked some tentative dates for the next Portland DrupalCamp: August 22-23, 2009.
So scour your calendars and make sure there aren't any other big tech events that weekend. Obviously any date is going to cause problems for some subset of people but we want to make sure we're not up against another regional DrupalCamp. It'll be close to DrupalCon Paris but hopefully we'll still be able to draw in some other people on the West Coast.
