events

I am a user of Remember the milk, Google Calendar, and Drupal. This is what I want to propose for my GSoC application, please feel free to comment, I would like to get feedback.

Description

The hounds of Drupal Camp Vancouver are unleashed and the event is already generating great interest. Along with Ariane and Dale, we've formed an organizing committee to kick things off and now encourage you to earn your Drupal community stripes by helping out.

Here's how:

• Join this Drupal Camp Vancouver group - easy right
• Blog about the event, tell your friends, tell your spouse you won't be home cause you are geeking out
• Choose a task to head up or assist with (note your choice and skillz on the wiki)
• Encourage your boss to sponsor Drupal Camp Vancouver (pledge your support on wiki) - if you are a boss, go directly to wiki and kick down some cash and encourage your wisest employees to sign-up and present when the time comes

Note: We do need some sponsorship scratch to pay space deposits etc. so if you are convinced of the benefits of sponsorship and are ready to write a cheque, please contact my organizing colleague, Dale or Ariane. {Special Thanks to the early signers of the declaration Social Signal, Affinity Bridge, Raincity Studios, happyfrog.ca, Strutta ...} Someone ping Sun and ask for money too please.

I am leaving to Mexico for vacation funtimes in about an hour so try not to break the Interwebs while i am gone ;-) Go Drupal Campers! and thanks for your support.

PS Out of towners are very welcome, we'll set up some crash space and hotel info-sharing closer to the time!

After significant discussion, wondering and mustering, a rag-tag team of volunteers has stepped up to wrangle Vancouver Drupal Camp.

Details: {See Attention all Drupal Enthusiasts}

Date: May 9-10, 2008
Where: Friday sessions at SFU Wosk Centre for Dialouge (Hasting and Seymour), Saturday sessions at Workspace (21 Water St., Gastown)
Who:You and about 80 other people (first come, first served - stay tuned for registration mid-April)

DrupalCon just finished wrapping up and it has been an amazing week. Over 900 people attended over 50 sessions and over 30 Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions. In the rooms and halls you could see knowledge virally spreading throughout the attendees as well as connections being made. DrupalCon may be over but don't let the knowledge sharing stop here.

This event was put on by people just like everyone here on G.D.O, don't let events like this stop! YOU are keeping this going!

Here are a few great events coming up!

Sydney, Australia May 18th-22nd, 2008 Drupal Asia/Pacific Conference.
The first major Drupal conference in Australia teamed up with CeBit.

Austin, Texas March 8th, 2008 BarCamp with Much Drupal love

Orlando, Florida April 5th-6th, 2008 Barcamp with much Drupal love

Paris, France April 19th DrupalCamp2!

I'm working on a couple of sites at the moment that are in this sort of area, and one of the key parts of them is going to be the availability calendar, so site visitors can see at a glance if there are rooms available or not. I've looked at the availability module and also the openresort module and while they are both going in the right direction, neither quite gets all the way there.

Hi,
I'm using views.module (altogether with some other modules) to run an events site for my town. I'm trying to get some views from the events nodes (CCK content type) but I don't have a clue how to filter them properly.

At last night's meeting (where we'd filled up every seat in our small reserved room at the Library Coffeehouse) we discussed the need to decide upon a set meeting time and a larger venue.

Location requirements include

• Wireless Internet
• A reservable, preferably private space where we could fit more people (say 20, to leave room for growth)

Not required, but desired

• refreshments a plus

We discussed possible locations. Chris, aka stompeers, will look into possible locations in Eagle (a fairly central location) and report back.

There was some talk at the Seattle Dug about helping out with signup module so that it would be compatible with things going on here on g.d.o (so that it could be used for signups to dug events)

there is post over here about the todo list for the signup module http://groups.drupal.org/node/5044

maybe the upcoming la drupal camp, or berkeley camp or an associated user group (or the Seattle DUG) would be able to contribute some to the signup module?

UPDATE: I've cross-posted this over at Drupal Dojo since there seems to be a few folks interested in collaborating and/or learning about this project.

In checking the status of the Upcoming.org module (http://drupal.org/project/upcomingorg), I noticed some familiar names from our Los Angeles group inquiring and/or offering assistance. Being that we've discussed this type of integration for some projects (ladrupal.org, local/media portal), maybe we can help KarenS resuscitate and expand the scope of this module (integrating additional event/ticketing portals)?

I was doing some research on the 2,357th report of a timezone error in date or calendar or event, one of those errors that not everyone can reproduce, and found some very interesting info about gmmktime() -- a function that is used extensively in all these modules.

The launchpad was this issue: http://drupal.org/node/147392. Here dgtlmoon was proposing to change some code from:
