Drupal Mentoring

The upcoming Drupal Code Sprint in Sydney on March 9 is not just for core contributors!

Drupalers of every level are encouraged to join us. We will have mentors to get you set up, whether your goal is to learn how to contribute, to just get started using Drupal, or to solve a Drupal problem that you're having trouble with.

You will need a laptop (unless you just want to watch - which is fine!) but that's all.

Come on board to help plan a Drupal workshop for a group of high school-aged young women!

A local non-profit organization is in the process of planning and organizing a two-day event specifically for high school-aged young women that exposes them to various tech fields. One workshop will have attendees creating their own website using Drupal.

At PNWDS, in a discussion on the Drupal community, the idea of mentoring received a unanimous "Mmm hmm!" At the last Drupal meetup, I saw a lot of new Druplers looking for help in getting started. I recently attended a Startup Weekend event, and one of the projects that survived is 1001mentors.com, where mentors and mentees can find each other. I reached out to the founders about Drupal's needs, and they've added a CMS section for us.

Hi all,

I have been approached by many Drupal users and people new to Drupal about holding more of a Learning Drupal meet-up for newbies and more aimed at less developer centric topics. Was wanting to get some feedback from people regarding this as I have access to some space in Sydney to hold the meet-ups and would be run in the same way the London Learning Drupal is run. This would not impact the Sydney Drupal User Group which does tend to be more developer centric.

Recently Katy of SeascapeWebdesign.com, katy5289 on d.o, posted a question about learning how to write modules, http://groups.drupal.org/node/112609. I too want to learn more about writing modules, and php, and jquery, and and and... It is so vital to keep skills up. It seems my skill set was sufficient about 4 months ago, and now I need to step it up some.

Hi, my name is Katy. I'm a freelance Drupal Developer living in Vancouver, Canada. I'm looking for 10-20 hours per week subcontract work to supplement my freelance projects. My background is in hand-coding HTML/CSS websites and in web design. My specialty is front end development - theming and site building, cck and advanced views. However, I am finding that jobs for front-end Drupal development are few and far between. Have other Drupal themers found this to be true?
