Florida

I've been slacking on this for a few weeks, but I think it is safe to say that the results of our poll make it clear that the new Florida Drupal User's Group logo is the Drupal Diver, designed by Dustin J. Cooper!

In the interest of keeping everything as democratic as possible, now that round 1 of the Florida Drupal Empire Branding poll is closed I wanted to propose that we use a standard two-round system to decide the winner:

The two-round system (also known as the second ballot, 
runoff voting or ballotage) is a voting system used to elect 
a single winner where the voter casts a single vote for their 
chosen candidate. However, if no candidate receives the 

Hey everybody,

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I just posted the Florida DrupalCamp 2012 Wrapup article at:

I posted it on DrupalEasy.com so that it would get picked up by Drupal Planet.

Please utilize the comments to let me know of any mistakes I may have made!

Good morning,

I just wanted to give everyone a quick status report on Florida DrupalCamp 2012 and to let everyone know of some areas where we're looking for some additional help. We have a great group of volunteers already (24 at my last count), but we need some more to make this not only the best DrupalCamp we've seen in Florida, but also one of the best in the world. We've got a great location partner (Rollins College Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership Center), a great fiscal partner (Central Florida Computer Society), now we just need a few more volunteers to help us pull it all off.

First, a quick update: Florida DrupalCamp 2012 will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2012 with Coding for a Cause the following day. Registration is now open - tickets are currently $20, but the price will slowly creep upward as we get closer to the event (so register today!). Session proposals will be open shortly - if you'd like to propose a session, you'll have until the end of December to do so. We've got a great group of sponsors, including our Platinum sponsor: Trellon, and our Gold sponsors: Big Couch Media Group, Software Quality Engineering, Mediacurrent, and DrupalEasy. Additional sponsorships are still available, contact me if you're interested.

We're still looking for some help in some key areas to make this the best DrupalCamp ever. The areas include:

Hi all!

The first ever DrupalCamp in South Florida is taking place on Saturday, October 22nd, 8am-5pm, at Nova Southeastern University's campus.

Sadly, I personally can't be there, but please go, tell your colleagues, and show your support for our growing Drupal community!

I'm finding that maintaining Drupal and LAMP are sometimes little beyond my abilities and would like to find a consulting resource. Before I just start picking names from a Google search or the listing on Drupal.org I thought I would see if there are companies (or a person) locally that anyone could recommend? Of course any recommendation would be appreciated.

This is a reminder that the Gainesville Meetup will be this Thursday, April 7th at the Alachua County Library District Headquarters in the Foundation Room. This month we will be working on Coding for a Cause webpage for CFCS. Please bring any reference material, computer and enthusiasm. Great opportunity for newbies to get hands on experience. A little theming, a little content type development and more. Follow the development process of the combined experience levels of the group. The new site is on Drupal 7 and uses OG, custom content types and a custom theme.

Registration for Florida DrupalCamp 2011 (February 12-13) is now open at FLDrupalCamp.org!

We're pleased to announced that the Florida DrupalCamp 2011 web site is now up-and-running and is the main source of information about the camp, including location (Rollins College in Winter Park), sessions, and attendees. We've added a user forum to help attendees arrange carpools from various parts of the state, and are working on finalizing the session program.
