Finding Drupal Work?

Hi all.

I work with my brother with a great focus on Drupal - be it theming or module development. We have the dedication and skill behind us to accomplish any task handed to us (so far :)

We have a problem, however; we are based in a village outside of Port Alfred. How would we go about marketing ourselves to larger areas, such as Johannesburg?

The amount of money to be made in the Eastern Cape has proven to be limited in this area of work, and honestly, we are getting a little bit worried.

Thanks for any input.

User Relationships and Views 6.3.x-dev

Hi All

Is there by any chance a module developer in SA who has any interest in User Relationships and Views 6.3.x-dev playing nicely together?

merlinofchaos has indicated where the issue might be, but the UR developer hasn't been able to get to it yet, although he is prepared to review and commit. I would also be keen to test any patches.

Have a site relaunch on Monday, which is going to have to be without friend feeds for a while. But hoping it won't be months before it's sorted.

You can view the issue here: http://drupal.org/node/1285636

I'll buy you a beer! :)

Is Drupal in a crisis?

Is Drupal in a crisis?

This is a question which "sun" raised on his blog: http://www.unleashedmind.com/en/blog/sun/the-drupal-crisis
There were lots of interesting comments which followed too. He is a core and module contributor -here is his profile of Drupal.org: http://drupal.org/user/54136

A bit of this flowed over to Dries' blog too where there were again some interesting comments:
