Drupal Workshop - Dec. 2-3, 2010
Offered at our convenient Waltham, MA facility - this workshop has something for everyone. Day 1 introduces Drupal - its functionality, benefits, and myriad ways to customize the software to suit your needs. We also roll up our sleeves and get some hands-on experience. Day 2 continues the hands-on side of things - expanding your knowledge to work on it yourself or make informed decisions when staff or consultants are implementing it. We are keeping the class size small, so there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and speak to our Drupal/Open Source experts.

Drupal Mentor
Hi All,
I was introduced to Drupal a few months ago and am building 2 sites on it. I use the drupal forum to post questions which has been very useful, but i have more questions than I feel i can put on the forum. Is there a Drupal buddy system? Or mentor system for experienced users to help their green colleagues along?
Thanks
Jonah

Ice Cream and Git and Drupal, too, at J.P. Licks, Jamaica Plain: Wed.
For heather's birthday, let's Git it together! Wednesday evening.
The theme is Git, and we will attempt to conduct our humble café in the world-renowned Drupal Dojo style. J.P. Licks is not the best location for trying to put anything on a screen (like a dojo video), but we can gather around our laptops. We always manage to secure a good two-to-four tables for our mob.

Talking to folks at the last meetup, it sounded like there are a bunch of people interested in learning and starting to use SimpleTest to do unit testing in their own module development.
I know this is last minute, but Ben and I are getting together this evening at JP Licks in Jamaica Plain at 6:30pm to work on figuring out SimpleTest together. If other people want to join, we can make a "Drupal Cafe" out of it.

Next Boston Meetup - A Challenge
Here's a challenge for you for our next Boston (Cambridge) meet up:
My site's pages are basically three parts: Header, right sidebar (lots of custom blocks), and display area. The header and sidebar are sensitive to how how one got there (context). However, occasionally, such as a "see all" link from a block, throws the sidebar and header off because the context is lost. Additionally, when going from a taxonomy/term/xxx or blog/xxx to an individual post, the user want to maintain the previous context.

Paid consulting help needed immediately- data reporting with Views II, views_calc and views_groupby
Hey Boston drupallers-
Joel Sindelar here, occasional drupaller. I'm working on a project for Jane Doe Inc (non-violence advocacy) through Housingworks Inc. and we've set up a data collection site to log how their staff is spending their time. We're at the point of setting up reports for the data, which involves aggregating data, and calculating some percentages, with Views. Some of this functionality is taken care of by views_groupby and perhaps views_calc, some of which isn't. Need someone with some coding skills to help create these reports. $60-$80/hour depending on experience, probably less than 20 hours of work, we have a due date of June 1, so you have to be available now. Good work, interesting people, good cause.
Call or email

New England GiveCamp: Review Drupal project scope
We have received a non-profit project submission for New England GiveCamp (http://newenglandgivecamp.org), and would like to have someone experienced in Drupal help review the scope of that project to see if it fits into the scope of work for the weekend.
If you'd be interested in chatting with the non-profit entity and helping us determine if they are a fit for the weekend effort, please contact us directly at negc2010@hotmail.com.
Thank you,
Jim O'Neil
