Hello, all.

Anybody from Portland going to Boston for the DrupalCon?

For details, see http://drupal.org/node/205685 and http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/

Cheers, and see you here/there!

Hello Boston Drupalleers. I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is George, and I've been playing and working with Drupal for about a year now, and living centering my life around Boston for around 8. I'm overhauling several sites and apps at work into Drupal (four so far, including the upcoming relaunch of our organizational website), and it is creating quite a stir.

The only personal site I've done is http://rollinitiative.com, which I invite you to join if you enjoy gaming and/or arguing. I grant the current design is somewhat uninspired, but it was a conversion of a 4-year-old phpBB site and I couldn't rock the users' boats too strongly. Sometime I'd like to make it to one of these meetups that happen in the area if possible. I will be at the boot camp in Cambridge in a few weeks, so maybe I will see some of you there.

As one of the admins of Newspapers on Drupal -- and one of the early adopters of Drupal in the newspaper industry -- I'll be in Boston on September 28 & 29 to speak to the New York Press Association. (Moshe is speaking as well.)

If anyone is interested in getting together for drinks, dinner, or general Drupal chat (I just came back from DrupalCON Barcelona), just post a comment or contact me.

I'm free Friday and Saturday night, and Sunday for breakfast.

I wanted to test the waters for starting a weekly Drupal Drop-in somewhere in the Boston/Cambridge area. Not as structured as our semi-monthly meetings, but just a static day (say Mondays, or even Sunday afternoons or something) where people could meet in a Wi-Fi'ed location (maybe a coffeeshop) and do their own Drupal needs in the helpful presence of others. No speakers or topics.

I want a nice looking site with a web 2.0 style CMS to integrate blogs, feeds and 'casts. I have an SEO guy who will be helping with this project. I want to use Drupal. This is going to be some real geek-sexy stuff. Please email me at abecker at liftportenergy.com if interested.

Computerworld is looking for a skilled Drupal programmer that is capable of doing high levels of customization to the core script. This project is on a contract basis working on a new site and may require ongoing maintenance once the new site is launched. Basic requirements include front end customization and friendly back-end UI, while more advanced requirements include integrating Drupal's feed aggregator with the story creation process. Please send your contact info, examples of your Drupal work and hourly rate to tpimental@cwcxo.com.

Hi There -

Am looking to hire a tutor to meet quasi-regularly for help learning Drupal and PHP. Or, if there's enough interest, maybe a class? Maybe both?

Any help finding someone would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lee

There is a conference coming to Boston in July (6-8) for public, educational and government access television that will have some workshops that may be of interest to this Boston Drupal community. Mostly it covers public access industry, technology and administration, but a few specifically will talk about video and multimedia content distribution across the web. I am not sure what the conference costs but you might want to check it out. I'll link them here:
