General discussions

Pearson (www.pearson.com), has generously donated numerous books for raffle to the LA Drupal User Group in the past. They have done it again, with their newest Drupal publication, Drupal 7 Explained: Your Step-by-Step Guide.

The first of the three copies Pearson sent us was raffled off as a prize at last night's meetup. Congratulations to the lucky recipient! Two more copies will be raffled soon.

What is the best Drupal optimized shared hosting? I am looking to transfer my site from Dreamhost and I'd like to know who is best for Drupal. I am temporarily looking for shared hosting with SSL until my budget will allow me to switch to VPS or Dedicated hosting. I have been considering Green Geeks and Bluehost, but I'm very open to suggestions. Who do you use and what have your experiences been?
Thanks!

This came from a discusion about D8s new config system while at DrupalCampLA this year.

Hello LA Community,

I was just looking at the volunteering sessions and attendee list for Saturday and Sunday of next week's Drupal Camp LA and wanted to take a moment to remind everyone they are there:

http://2013.drupalcampla.com/sessions/volunteer-saturday-8am
http://2013.drupalcampla.com/sessions/volunteer-sunday-8am

We currently have @7 people for both days, but they look like the same people for each day with a few of the usual suspects. I appreciate all that you do usual suspects!

Why does this not surprise me. Canada's nuke plants use PDP-11, John you need to revive the PDP-11 course over in Irvine. Canada may depend on it.

Hi.
I am thinking about moving into California(from Europe) and I am curious about which California based companies are the best ones to work for? I'm more interested in full service advertising afencies rather than just companies specialized on websites(pure Drupal shops). Also I'm more interested in companies with more than 50 employees(I've worked for small companies and want a change of environment).

Which companies would you recommend?

Okay, I don't want to miss another IE Drupal meeting. I'm not sure if the reason for no meeting in May was solely due to a lack of a meeting place, but that's easily fixed. I'm willing to track down a facility that we can use long term, but I need to know where members would be comfortable driving to.

Take the poll!

There were tons of informative sessions at Drupalcon in Portland! Except for the ceaseless rain and the fact that my roommate canceled at 1 pm on Monday, it was a wonderful conference. And I loved the Women in Drupal reception.

I Drupal developer, with experience of more than 3 years combined experience of Drupal and more than 10 years. Developing a ready-made websites, layout, theming, and so on. I have experience in developing websites of any complexity and variety of subject areas. Constantly improve their skill level.
I am looking for an interesting and remunerative work.

Unfortunately, my plans have changed and I wont be able to make it to DrupalCon Portland. So, my earlybird ticket is now available.

If you're planning to go, but don't have a ticket yet, please consider buying mine at a significant savings.

Thanks.

UPDATE: This ticket has already been transferred.
