Just a note for anyone wanting to learn more about Aegir, there are 2 separate presentations going down at local drupal user groups tomorrow.

Brian Wood will be doing a presentation at the Berkeley Drupal User Group and Robin Puga will be doing another Aegir presentation at the Vancouver user group.

If you're in the area, and want more info, and speak to people who have been following the project for a while, do drop by.

Hi,

If you live in Vancouver, you might be interested in this new Meetup group:

Hi folks,

I'm working with SeaDUG and Linuxfest Northwest to bring together a mini drupalcamp at Linuxfest Northwest 2009. Its April 25-26th, and last year we had one room for one day, with every session packed. This year I'm hoping to get at least one room for two days, and if there is demand for it, we can move to two rooms as well.

We're looking for those who wish to present, come mingle with other F/OSS people, etc. The event is free, and we have room for non-profit exhibitors (free), and commercial exhibits.

More information: http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/

Hey all -

Just opened an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net called drupal-vancouver. Thought it might be useful to find and keep in touch with other locals next week at DrupalCon. If you're coming out, or even if you're not and just want to be able to chat with other Vancouver Drupal peeps, feel free to join up!

Hi all, I'm going to be talking to Business in Vancouver next week about Drupal's connection to Vancouver.

I'd like your help compiling a list of cool Vancouver companies, service providers, consultants, and interesting / portfolio websites that are powered by Drupal.

I've started a wiki page at http://groups.drupal.org/vancouver/drupal-websites -- please fill out your own name and project(s) that you feel would be a good fit.

Any other ideas or stories that you want to relate about Drupal + Vancouver would be great.

Hello all,

I am having an issue right now (Drupal 5.9, CCK 5.x-1.7, cck_map 5.x-3.3, views 5.x-1.6) where I have a view that returns full nodes that contain a Google Map. This works fine and great.
However, the issue is that only the Google Map in the first displayed node is rendered properly, the others do not render and I have an error in my FF3 logs:
Error: a is null Source File: http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/122b/maps2.api/main.js Line: 312

Has anyone else ever seen this issue and if so how did you work around it?

Cheers,
E/.

Hi folks! I've posted slides [PDF, 573K] and an example module [11.5K, Drupal 5] from my talk on integrating the Sphinx search engine with Drupal.

Hi Folks,
thanks for coming out to DrupalCamp Vancouver this past Friday and Saturday. It was great to see such a big turnout. I should give big thanks to Ariane, Dale, and Raincity's own DaveO for organizing this event.

Here are the files from the talk:

I've uploaded the slides for my presentation on staging & deployment from this weekend.

Thanks so much to all the dcv08 organizers, and to everyone who came to my talk. It was really great and I look forward to further discussions!

See some of you at DrupalCamp Seattle!

The hounds of Drupal Camp Vancouver are unleashed and the event is already generating great interest. Along with Ariane and Dale, we've formed an organizing committee to kick things off and now encourage you to earn your Drupal community stripes by helping out.

Here's how:

• Join this Drupal Camp Vancouver group - easy right
• Blog about the event, tell your friends, tell your spouse you won't be home cause you are geeking out
• Choose a task to head up or assist with (note your choice and skillz on the wiki)
• Encourage your boss to sponsor Drupal Camp Vancouver (pledge your support on wiki) - if you are a boss, go directly to wiki and kick down some cash and encourage your wisest employees to sign-up and present when the time comes

Note: We do need some sponsorship scratch to pay space deposits etc. so if you are convinced of the benefits of sponsorship and are ready to write a cheque, please contact my organizing colleague, Dale or Ariane. {Special Thanks to the early signers of the declaration Social Signal, Affinity Bridge, Raincity Studios, happyfrog.ca, Strutta ...} Someone ping Sun and ask for money too please.

I am leaving to Mexico for vacation funtimes in about an hour so try not to break the Interwebs while i am gone ;-) Go Drupal Campers! and thanks for your support.

PS Out of towners are very welcome, we'll set up some crash space and hotel info-sharing closer to the time!
