Our organization, the National Criminal Justice Association is currently seeking bids for ongoing website maintenance/support. We are a non-profit based in Chinatown (Washington, DC), and currently operate two Drupal-based websites.

Our RFP is available online at:

http://www.ncja.org/sites/default/files/documents/NCJA-RFP-Web-Services-May-2015.pdf

Submit your proposals by Friday, June 5, 2015.

If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks.

I've added two new events.

The 1st is on the 14th and is open to the worldwide drupal4Gov community. We have 15 call in lines and seating for 15 at the event.

And what ever will we be doing? Framing a Drupal4Gov ladder. Yep, Drupal4Gov ladder. Bryan Hirsch will be leading us in this effort. Please email me at kirsten.burgard2@va.gov to attend (phone or in person).

We are looking at all forms of government, so, state, provincial, international, school board, local, federal, etc... So, a nice assortment of folks will really make this a valuable lesson.

Ok it's time to come out of shell: we are on the verge of securing “Beijing IT Developer Conference Week”.

It will provide free-of-cost to following:
1. A 2,000-3,000 square meter, conference venue, with main pavilion and partitioned classrooms
2. Linguistic support, with instantaneous translations and headsets
3. Sound/video equipment, personnel and recording
4. Security/attendants
5. Internet connection

Caveats:
1. Timing has to be either April, or July of 2010

Hi folks,

I am planning a couple special sessions for the August and September DC CiviCRM Meetups. The topics will be:

August 19th @ 6:30pm - Planning to Deploy CiviCRM in your Organization (http://www.meetup.com/dc-civicrm-meetup/calendar/10968614/)

September 16th @ 6:30pm - Migrating from Convio to CiviCRM (http://www.meetup.com/dc-civicrm-meetup/calendar/10968938/)

Just a reminder that we will be having a CiviCRM Meetup this Wednesday at 6:30pm over at Stetson's on U St. We will do the usual show and tell, and also discuss a couple things:

1) Latest Drupal integration with Date and Calendar module in CiviCRM 2.2.3

2) Interest in a DC CiviCRM Dev Camp

3) CiviCRM Book Review

You can RSVP for the Meetup here: http://www.meetup.com/dc-civicrm-meetup/calendar/10246671/

Hi folks,

The first DC CiviCRM Meetup this past Wednesday had a great showing. We had over 25 people who came out to talk about the system, where it is going, and how various organizations are implementing the CRM.

We discussed the need for both training and networking sessions, and have decided to hold two Meetups each month. In two weeks, on May 6th at 6:30pm, we will hold an "Introduction to CiviCRM" session. We are still looking for a location to hold this session, so please send me any recommendations on conference rooms we can use that can seat about 30 people.

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that the DC CiviCRM Meetup will hold it's first meeting this Wednesday, April 22nd from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at The Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan. We will have a Speed Show and Tell, giving each presenter 5 minutes to give a visual or spoken presentation about what they are doing with CiviCRM. This is a great opportunity to come
out and learn about the CiviCRM project, how people are using the system within their organizations, and meet other CiviCRM users and developers in the DC/VA/MD area. If you would like to present, please come prepared with a laptop.

At DrupalCon DC next week, I'd love to get together with other aggregation heads to discuss ongoing and upcoming work in aggregation modules in Drupal. Who's interested, what issue would you like to talk about?
