Suggested User Group Topic

For the January 11 Drupal User Group meeting, we're looking for any volunteers to give a 15-20 minute presentation on something cool they're doing/have discovered/just figured out. If you've just taken a site live using a combination of modules working together in perfect harmony, we want to hear about. Just wrote some sweet module code or a gorgeous theme and you'd like to walk us through some code? Please let me know!

As some of you may have heard, I recently got some very good news: My new tech start-up company, Learndipity, was selected as a winner in a global business plan competition. (Yes, the company is built on Drupal 7!) As a prize, I won $40,000, lots of business support and mentorship from entrepreneurs in 42 countries around the world, and free office space in Santiago, Chile. So the big news is that I'm headed to Chile for 7 months beginning in January!

So tonight will be my last Portland Drupal User Group meeting until I return in the Fall of 2012. If you can make it tonight, I'd love to say goodbye to everyone!

Although I will be taking a temporary break from helping organize the Portland Drupal User Group, I'll still be thinking about you guys all the way from Latin America. Jonathan and Melissa will continue co-organizing the group and I look forward to hearing about all of the fantastic speakers and events you'll be having. And of course, you all have an open invitation to come visit me in Chile! :-)

So I hope to see you tonight... I can't wait to fill you guys in on all of the exciting things that have been happening!

Cheers,
Ben Kaplan

Hi

I don't know if this is the forum for the issues I have but I am looking for a way to create categories within my Drupal site. I looked at Taxonomy but I don’t think it is a mechanism that works the way I want it to.

Here is what I am trying to do.

I need to create a business category sub-system in Drupal that will allow the user to set the business category of the registration form they are filling out at the time of submittals. I may allow the user to have multiple business categories.

Hi everyone,

Is it too early to start taking about PNW Drupal Summit 2011? I've heard that Portland is the next city up in the rotation...

Hey all. Someone left a teal Marmot windbreaker at the Lucky Labrador from the Fourth Tuesday meetup. Reply here if you know who's it is. I'll bring it to October's group meeting on the 14th regardless.

I am new to Drupal and and have maxed out my skills. Still learning but in the meantime I can really use some help with the following problem I am having.

Hi,
I have been following the discussion regarding PM software and am glad to see discussion in my local (geographic) community. As a member of the community here online and in Portland I have a question I would like to ask about project management.
