Tidewater/Hampton Roads, Virginia

For the last several months we've been having meetups in the Newport News area, and it's been great. But it seems that the luring tunnel traffic keeps Norfolk/VA beach folks from easily getting to the Newport News meetings, and the folks north of the tunnel have mentioned that heading to Norfolk is tough too.

I'm just curious if we were to have meetups in the Norfolk area, are their people that would be interested in coming who generally avoid going to Newport News for the meetups?

Thanks,
Josh

Got this tip from twitter. All the videos from Drupalcon Denver are online, but you usually have to watch them streamed. If you want to download them all for later, offline, or repeated viewing, here are instructions:

From Twitter! I've just downloaded all the @DrupalCon Denver sessions to my iPhone. Want to know how I did it? goo.gl/nSkTc

Does anyone have experience writing custom context conditions into modules? I have one that has me stumped.

What I need is a simple context, the plugin for which gives the user a short list of allowed values (3 or 4) to be compared against a single external variable (in this case, stored as a session variable).

I have the rest of the framework I need pretty much hammered out at this point-- it's just the custom context that's causing me heartburn.

Any takers? I'm happy to provide more details upon request.

If you're going to DrupalCon Denver later this month and are interested in getting together with other area/regional group members, let us know and we'll try to meet up. At least 3 members of the Hampton Roads/Tidewater group are going.

If you're not going and are interested in knowing more about DrupalCon, maybe we can give an overview at our next meetup.

Any of you have a good, easy way to create image galleries in D7? I'm trying to do something thats super-simple to use for my clients, have multiple galleries display on different pages, and have easy uploading of pictures. and 'imagecache'like on the fly resizing.

I could do this in D6 but this is my first site LEARNING D7

Thanks
Jeff

Anyone in the Williamsburg/Newport News/Hampton area interested in a meetup? I know there have been some Tidewater meetups in the past, but was not able to attend. I'm looking for opportunities to network with other Drupal-ers. I'm planning to head to Richmond for their February meetup on Omega theme and would love something like that here.

Hi Everyone -

I'd appreciate any perspectives/opinions/experiences on Drupal 7. I'd like to build a "responsive" site that can adapt to any screen size (who wouldn't - right? ;-)

Our current site was built with D6. While not overly complicated it has multiple Blogs, Feeds and provides access to video via a video library. With the new site, we'd like to introduce a Mapping feature (i.e. Tilemill/Mapbox) to provide ready access to projects and related data/content in an attractive, easy to use interface.
