Denver

There is a relatively short request for a Civicspace/Drupal developer in this post on craigslist.

Perhaps they should come to the meeting to find someone...

From Craigslist Denver

It's only partially Drupal related and I generally would prefer to know who I'm applying to rather than them using the anonymous service of Google, but hey, they want Drupal and CMS experience and that's here.

If you are interested, it's probably best to go to the Craigslist original post and respond via the mechanisms they have there.

Thanks.

For those of you who weren't able to attend this week's Drupal User Group Event, the main topic of discussion was community building.

I came across this article while reading over my blogroll today and felt it was on-topic enough to share with this group. It ventures a little bit into the area of users versus customers, but I believe many of the ideas are the same. An online community is a group of "browsers" and "members". To encourage movement from the "browser" to the "member" level, you much create a sense of belonging in the "browser".

There have recently been two jobs posted on Craigslist for the Colorado Front Range area:

One for Outfoxed and this job for a combination of people led by DeProduction (which stands for [denverevolution] Production Group).

So...any ideas for the next meeting?

Daytime? Night-time? Weekend? Weekday? Or should I just play the old "pick one at random and see who shows up" game again :)

I'm currently thinking somewhere towards the end of July cause I'm a little busy at the moment, but that's just me.

So, following on the last meeting summary and call for ideas it's time to schedule another meeting.

Will this be the month we actually have a meeting near Boulder? Perhaps this month we meet on a Sunday evening (free parking, fewer people will complain about work complications)?

And then also what will the topic be? I think that a quick demo of CCK and Views would be good. Another idea is that as we do the introductions at the beginning people could talk about "I want to see XYZ" and then break up into groups for a little while of people who are interested in seeing similar things. How does that sound?

The second Denver Drupal meeting was held last night at Paris on the Platte. Greg Knaddision did an excellent job of heading this up.

After the presentation I gave last night, there were many questions concerning Drupal. As we look forward to the next meetup, I wanted to solicit feedback on a couple of different points. Please sign up and comment below. If you didn't attend last night or haven't ever attended a Denver Drupal meetup, please comment as well.

• What additional topics would you like to see covered in a presentation?
• With the wide variety of experience levels of attendees, were you able to get something out of the presentation even if you already were familiar with the topic? Would you like a more advanced presentation in the future?
• Do you have any general comments about the format, time, place of the meetup?

Also, if you have additional questions relating to a Drupal topic that might not be a good candidate for a presentation, please post them in the comments and I will try to blog about them.
