Intro to Content Types and Views
Hey everyone!
Just a reminder that next week's Drupal Meetup will be an Intro to Drupal's Content Types and Views. This is perfect for all those folks that are new to Drupal and want to better understand why it's so powerful. For me personally, when I finally got my head wrapped around what could be down with Content Types and Views I suddenly understood why the system was so popular.
Never heard of Content Types and Views? No problem... you can read up on them here:

The weather took its toll on the March meetup and we had to cancel, but the April meetup is a go. Format of the meeting will be what we proposed for March - time for anyone to ask a Drupal question (and hope someone can answer it) and/or short presentations on helpful Drupal tips, favorite modules, etc. (5-10 minutes depending on number of presenters).
As always, we'll have a some food and drinks available.

Read moreMarch HRDUG Meetup
Since no one complained about the format of last month's Drupal meetup (and the time limit for complaining has passed :) ) we'll try that again this month.
If you have a question about anything Drupal related, be prepared to ask it and see if anyone can answer it. Or, if you have a good tip, suggestion, favorite module, or way of doing something with Drupal that you'd like to share, come prepared. We'll try to give everyone equal time to ask a question or share.
Let us know you're coming:

Drupal Training Days - March 15th
I've received a lot of requests recently to do some training/education related to Drupal in the last month. The International Drupal Training Days are coming up on March 15th and considering the other conferences and meetups happening in Norfolk in mid-March I think it would be a great time do to a Drupal Intro training.
What do you guys think? Any volunteers to help out?
You can learn more here - http://drupal.org/learn-drupal
Read moreFebruary 2013 Monthly Drupal Meetup
This month we invite members of the group to share a favorite module or tip they use to build websites with Drupal or a question on any Drupal topic. If you don't know the answer to a question, hopefully someone else will. We'll present in lightening-round format (10 minutes or so per presenter or question).
Read moreFacebook Group for HRO Drupal Users
Hi folks,
I've personally found that Facebook groups area a great way for small communities to carry on conversations online and keep the creative energy flowing. Plus it's a fast and easy way to share resources, events, thoughts, etc.
We've set one up for this group here.
Right now it's a private group, so just request access and we'll let you in. Just want to avoid spammers getting in.
Thanks,
Josh

Read moreNeed some folks with Blackbaud NetCommunity experience
Any drupal developers out there with Blackbaud NetCommunity (BBNC) experience. BBNC is not a very difficult platform to work with, but there is a learning curve. I'd like to find some developers we can continue to rely on that are past that learning curve.
Thanks

Domain Access instead of Multisite?
Domain Access instead of Multi Site? Other Ideas?
We are using multisite Drupal currently for 3 sites. Lets call them:
www.mysite.edu (main site)
support.mysite.edu
students.mysite.edu
We have a number of issues with multisite. We are looking to add a couple more sites.. which will compound these issues.
- Three different sets of configurations (Drupal config options set up through the admin interface)
Unix Group-like node ownership solution in Drupal?
Hey All,
I have an issue that's been nagging me for, years..
Currently still on a drupal 6 site for the one I need this for..
I am trying to find a way to allow a node to be 'owned' (and therefore edited freely) by a GROUP of people, not just one user.
Example. I have a 'page' content type and one particular page needs to be editable by 5 different people, all of whom are in 'marketing' department.

Hi everyone. Just a heads up, later this month there will be an event at the Nauticus called Ignite Hampton Roads. It takes a similar model to a TED talk but at an accelerated pace and all participants are from the HRO area. I'll be out of town so I can't make it, but I wanted to let you know.
Should be a great event.

Help working on client site
I'm self taught coming from the design world and I've hit a wall with building my first Drupal site. Any contacts in Richmond I could reach out to for training/tutoring (I don't mind paying for their time). I'm having trouble getting past the BlueMasters theme I'm trying to install on the site and I'm using Network Solutions (not the best option I realize) for hosting. Thanks!

Drupal Ladder sprints?
Hey there!
I've probably met a few of you, but for the rest, I'm Brock Boland. I live down in DC, and I'm involved in the Drupal Ladder initiative: http://drupalladder.org
The gist of it is that we're working to get more people involved in contributing to core, with a goal of 1% of drupal.org users contributing to Drupal core by summer 2014.
There are two main ways that we're working to achieve that goal:
- Learn sprints, where we work through lessons on DrupalLadder.org
- Issue sprints, where we work on issues from the Drupal core issue queue
Two full time for hire Drupal dev positions / telecommute
Got a call from a contact up in Richmond today looking for some devs:
"client is looking for 2 Drupal Developers on a direct hire basis. You can work 100% telecommuting so the developers can be anywhere in the US."
PM me if you're interested or if you know anyone looking for work and I'll pass along their contact info. They aren't looking for contractors at this point, this would be a full time position.
Thanks, and hope you are all well. =)
