Well, it's no BoF or unconference, but at least it's a bit of free food and drink during DrupalCon PDX...

Clarity Innovations (Drupal in education enthusiasts since version 4.7) is hosting an informal meetup/social to celebrate, connect and bond with those of us that use Drupal for all things related to K12 and higher education.

The informal meetup takes place Wednesday (5/22) evening, from 6pm-8pm, at the Burnside Brewing Company, a short walk from the convention center (and conveniently on the way to the Pantheon & New Relic Party just a block away).

Cost: Free! (The first few rounds of drinks and food are on Clarity's tab.)
RSVP: http://www.drupaleducationsocial.eventbrite.com/
I hope to see you there!

Hello all,

I wanted to thank and call out the PDX Drupal and open source community for their support of Street Roots during our annual online fundraising auction, and call attention to some of the awesomeness available--basically, everything needed for one to get up and running as a good Drupal Open Source Citizen. I'm posting here because I think this is relevant to the community and supports both the PDX open source community as well as Street Roots.

I want to specifically call attention to a few things we have up for auction right now (ending 4pm on Sunday Oct 7):

• Drupal 7 in a Day training by lz411 and OpenSourcery
• Two-day Site Building in Drupal 7 training by lz411 and OpenSourcery
• Quality Assurance for Drupal Sites training by lz411 and OpenSourcery
• One hour of Drupal consultation with jhedstrom
• One 2013 Open Source Bridge Conference Pass (by Stumptown Syndicate)
• One year of wind-powered hosting by Canvas Dreams
• Event Planning for Geeks: a Stumptown Syndicate handbook (I have this, and it is quality. I wished we'd had it before planning DrupalCamp09 and PNWDS!)

Good morning, all!

A friend of mine just alerted me to this:

Good hunting!

In case anyone was thinking of participating but procrastinating, Open Source Bridge proposals are still being accepted through end of day March 31st. As a now-established homegrown event, OSB seems like a natural way to participate more in the broader community and an easy way to do some of that outreach everyone has been talking about :)

We are pleased to announce that our most excellent stickers for the PNWDS 2011 in Portland have arrived at DrupalCon!
See eliza411, halstead, jhedstrom, grendzy, mikey_p, skjalf, rocksoup, or grantkruger for your very own.

Also, the splash page is up at http://pnwdrupalsummit.org/--add your email address to be notified when our 2011 site goes live.

Many thanks to the Design Team (Brett and Marlene) and Annabella and team extrordinaire at NorthStudio for making the stickers, design, and splash page happen before DrupalCon. High fives all around.

Greetings!

We are pleased to formally announce that Portland will host the 2011 PNWDS. We've got a great PDX organizing team lined up and the excellent support and guidance of the Seattle and Vancouver teams.

We hope to host the Summit in October and will make a date announcement when we secure a venue. Until then, please contact sarah_p or myself if you'd like to get involved or have any questions.

Cheers,

Sarah Prasuhn and Sarah Beecroft
Organizers, Pacific NW Drupal Summit 2011 in PDX

We should have a Portland Drupal 7 Release Party on the newly-announced release date (January 7). The company I work for wants to celebrate our new yolink module by buying everyone some beer. Any venue possibilities?

Hello everybody,
Just a reminder that tomorrow night we're having the pre-committee open house to gather all those interested in bringing the PNWDS (Pacific NW Drupal Summit) to Portland next year. sarah_p has posted all the details at the open house event page here.

Orchestra wants to bring DrupalCamp to Portland, OR in 2010!

We're willing to sponsor and contribute however we can. If anyone has any suggestions, we're ready.

Orchestra is busy creating an integration to Drupal from SAP Business One, a small business ERP system used by over 20,000 companies worldwide. Like Drupal, SAP Business One is a core platform that is extensible and scalable and made better by the modules and Add-Ons from the community. We've always thought they'd be a good fit and now we have brought this idea to fruition.

For simplicity's sake, we didn't deviate much from the stock Zen layout. Some resizing, styling, and a color scheme were all that were needed to make a decent looking and easy to develop site.

Also uses a custom (cck, views) content type for homebrew beer recipes. Much more to come on the site but so far, I'm pleased with D6+Zen as an easy starting place.

Thanks Zen Contributors!
