LA Drupal community

The DrupalCon North American Regional Organizing Group is looking for input from us, the Drupal community, to help pick the location for DrupalCon North America being scheduled for 2012 (and beyond). They have put together a brief “straw poll” intended to gauge community interest about various cities that have been suggested as potential good locations by our event management company. Vote however you wish, but I'd like to point out that the list does already have a few West coast cities, like Las Vegas, and many of us wouldn't mind to see DrupalCon nearby again.

The LAdrupal.org site build project has finally launched its BETA version and is live!

Thank you and congratulations to everyone who has been working hard on this project since October, 2009!

This is a BETA, so please provide feedback, understand that many features are still in development, and express any willingness to help out. We look forward to your suggestions and involvement.

Some plans for the future that are not yet on the current site:

Hi All,

I am currently looking for some help with having an xml feed import into drupal to create news articles with our drupal cms. The job would require walking me(i'd consider my drupal knowledge to be somewhere in between beginner and intermediate) with the process. If anyone is interested please let me know

thanks,

Brian T

Hello,

I'm a very green, newbie, Drupal user. I come from mostly Wordpress experience and I professionally focus on a design/development approach (estevancarlos.com). I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to tutor me on Drupal. Mostly help address some question for a personal Drupal project I am undertaking. I'm in the Hollywood area. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Is the newly titled 'West' LA meeting still on for next Tuesday (May 25)? Or is this to be supplanted by the new Central LA (Downtown) Meetings?

Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem that you might be able to help me with. I am using the content profile for users to create a profile and expose most of the fields created with it on the user registration form. I am running into a problem with the administration of users as I have multiple names for a single person. I have the username that the user logs in with, a legal name, that is only seen by the logged in user and any administrators, and an artist name that is used on the publicly viewable profile page. My problem is that when an administrator want s to either moderate, block or delete a user, he has to visit the profile, get the artists username, head to the user administration and search for the username there.

By default, there are 18 zoom levels. I'm wondering if anyone has got experience with limiting the number of zoom level to a smaller number (e.g. 8) ?

I searched around and found that there are ways to control the maximum zoom level and the minimum zoom level in google map documentation page: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html

but can't figure out how to control these from drupal.

Recap of LADrupal.org rebuild Meeing: 11/5 meeting

Primary Agenda Points / Conclusions

1. Final decision about D6 vs. D7

I would like to see the discussions move above the fold, or at least closer to it. I think that we can eilminate the Upcoming and Jobs blocks as they are repeated in the right sidebar. If we could do that, tighten up the Wiki and Poll blocks to 5 or 6 items, and somehow shrink the lead block, perhaps by putting the links inline instead of in a list, I think that the page would be more effective.

I think that the discussions are too far down the page.
