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.

Gnomepal Community Information and Discussion
The Gnomepal project is still brewing, and the communication tools are coming together - the hope is to build Gnomepal.org as a live sandbox for groups / communities, as what's the point of building a community tool if the community itself can't use it?
For collaboration or general discussion, I have these vehicles at my immediate disposal until we have everything assembled properly on Gnomepal.org itself:
- IRC on irc.freenode.net in #drupal-gnomepal
- Live Interoperability on a Ventrilo server (I must grant you access first)
Module Development Session
Do you want an introduction to module development? I'm teaching a session soon focusing on how a PHP developer can get started with Drupal Development.

Seattle PHP Study Group Forming, Meet Thurs April 3
A few people at last night's SeaDUG meeting expressed interest in a PHP Study Group that is evolving out of the Seattle PHP Group mailing list. We're not sure yet what level to start, area to focus - it depends on who shows up and expresses interest!
We (the PHP mailing-list folk) have agreed to meet an hour in advance of the regular Seattle PHP Meetup to decide when, where and what to study together. Please see this post for details.

Read moreLinuxFest Northwest Planning Wiki
LinuxFest Northwest is happening on the weekend of April 26-27, 2008, 10 AM to 5 PM both days, in Bellingham. In spite of its name, it's intended to be an open-source festival, not just Linux.
At the March SeaDUG meeting, we discussed how to get a Drupal presence going at LinuxFest Northwest. This Wiki page (feel free to edit) is for planning how to do that.
Read moreAnyone go to a local univeristy or college (looking for drupalcamp locations)
Are there any SeaDUG members who attend any of the local colleges or universities (or work at them) or have any idea about the process of getting rooms for events?
We are looking for locations for DrupalCamp, and it might also be a good idea to find a new larger location for our DUG meetings (though i guess there will be no beer at school :-( )
S.U.?
U.W.?
Seattle Central?

Linuxfest Northwest -- SeaDug booth?
Hi Folks,
I plan to be at the Seattle meeting next wednesday, but I wanted to post this event for all seadugers -- I work with the linuxfest northwest org team, and after going to SCALE linux in February and drupalcon last week, I think it'd be a good idea to get a few drupal enthusiasts to man a booth and possibly do a presentation as well.
For more information about the festival, goto: http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/
Read moreSite-building article
At the last Seattle DUG meeting, I gave an impromptu Intro to Drupal to a few people who were relatively new to Drupal, and mentioned that I was planning to write an article describing how to get started building sites in Drupal.
Well, I've published at least the first pass at that article. I'd love to get some comments -- hopefully I haven't said anything that is totally misleading! Here's the link: http://poplarware.com/drupalcheatsheet.html

Deployment module
At the last DUG I was talking with several people about a deployment framework I've been working on, and demo'ing some of what it can do. I have just released an alpha version of this framework on drupal.org.
http://drupal.org/project/deploy
I'll be at the co-work tomorrow, if anyone wants to come by and talk about it. I know a couple people asked about getting involved, which would be great. I am especially in need of people willing to do some testing, there are so many configurations out there it's really important to get as many different scenarios involved as possible.
Thanks!
