pittsburgh

Hello,

I am new to Drupal via a resigned network admin. I have been allocated his duties and one of those is maintenance of our web site which runs on Ubuntu/Drupal. I know just enough to get around. I am looking for a professional in the Pittsburgh area (We are located in Altoona.) that I can work with to keep our site up to date and make some changes that need to be done.

I have looked under the professional listing on this web site, but it does not give me a location for each vendor.

DrupalPGH is now on IRC. We've officially got #drupal-pgh set up with freenode. This is a great resource for discussions, informal chat, or quick questions.

If you're not on IRC, check out http://drupal.org/irc for info on drupal's presence there.

I just received notice of this job posting and thought I should share it. The US Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburgh is looking for a webmaster/developer to convert their website to Drupal on an IIS server and do some other development or them. I'm not a MS person at all or I'd apply.

@brucelet has offered what sounds like an excellent meeting space on the North Shore for monthly meetups.

So the next item of business is: what day/time?

This looks great - I wonder if Brillobox is available?

From: http://www.sunlightlabs.com/hackathon09/ :

On the weekend of December 12-13th, we're holding an open, distributed, nationwide hackathon to develop open source applications to open government. The goal is to solve as many open government problems as we can with as many hackathons across the country as possible. We've teamed up with Mozilla, Google, Redhat and Fedora, who will all be working with their developers to make things happen, and we've teamed up with Open Source for America and Code for America —there are opportunities for everyone to make a difference.

Recently, I had to create a website, for a Penn State course, to search Tv shows. I was free to select any platform to develop the site on and I've picked Symfony php framework. However, couple weeks into the project I realized that Drupal could've saved me so much time and would've been much more reliable. If only someone mentioned Drupal to me at the right moment...
