On September 19, 2011, we will complete Chapter 12 the filter system and Chapter 13 Searching and Indexing as well. To prepare for this session, please read chapters 12 and 13 and make the modifications to your Pro Drupal 7 Development Website. Bring any problems or questions you encounter in the chapters or attempting the code.

Droplabs and Exaltation of Larks would like to invite the LA Drupal and Drupal Fit communities to a Red Cross First Aid, CPR & AED certification training on October 15, 2011. This full day of training offers the following 2-year certifications: First Aid, Infant CPR, Child CPR, Adult CPR and Adult AED.

You can make a difference during the critical time between when 911 is called and the ambulance arrives. This professional training uses a combination of books, videos and hands-on exercises that will give you the knowledge and confidence you'll need in emergency situations.

Sign up today. You won't regret it and you might even save someone's life.

Join your fellow Angelenos and LA Drupalero, for a Drupal After Dark and Game Night at Droplabs between 6-10pm on Thursday, September 22, 2011. We're staying open late after a day of hacking and coworking on our Drupal projects and you're invited!

We have plenty of tables and chairs, so bring a friend and your favorite board game. If you're interested in coming, just post a comment below with an idea of what you'd like to bring.

Agenda

There isn't much of an agenda here other than to have fun, but in case there are any changes or announcements, be sure to stay tuned to this meetup announcement. You can also click the Sign up button below.

The next Downtown LA Drupal meetup is on September 20, 2011 and will be at Droplabs, a Drupal event and coworking space in Downtown Los Angeles. Created by LA Drupal members for the LA Drupal community, Droplabs is the host of LA Drupal's weekly Pro Drupal 7 Development book study group and special events including the Varnish 3 Release Party and LA Drupal's first-ever Drupal job fair.

LA Drupal meetups follow a basic format and start off with Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes and full-length presentations. We'll also have community Q&A, during which time anyone in attendance can ask questions, divine answers from the crowd and give brief, 5-10 minute-long presentations known as lightning talks. We'll finish off the night with more networking and a Drupal After Dark at 9:30pm.

Light food and refreshments will be served throughout the evening courtesy of our food and drink sponsor, Exaltation of Larks, a Drupal strategy, consulting, development and training company with a team of Drupal experts in Los Angeles.

A barn raising is an event during which a community comes together to assemble a barn for one or more of its households, particularly in 18th- and 19th-century rural North America. (Wikipedia)

The same can be done for websites.

SCALE (Southern California Linux Expo) is going to be a little earlier next year and this has moved forward the CFP (Call for Papers). We will be building the SCALE site on Drupal 7 this year. In the past, the CFP was on a separate non-Drupal framework and importing the data was the source of some headaches. I hope by bringing the CFP into Drupal from the start, we can improve on that situation.

Drupal Patch Bingo is a code sprint at Droplabs from 6-10pm on Saturday, August 20, 2011. You're invited!

Wait, what's Drupal Patch Bingo? Glad you asked! We're combining a code sprint with the universal accessibility and old fashioned charm of a 5x5 bingo game board. Teams with equal numbers of Drupal newcomers and Drupal veterans will be using the Drupal core patch bingo feature on Drupal.org to:

• Find outstanding issues in the Drupal core issue queue
• Score points by rolling patches and marking issues as RTBC (reviewed & tested by the community)
• Win prizes, bragging rights and more!

We're looking for volunteer contestants and judges, so sign up by clicking the Sign up button below! RSVPs are not required, but signing up makes it much easier for the event coordinators to arrange adequate tables and seating and contact you with last-minute updates (if there are any).
