Our mission is to connect Drupal users in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and surrounding areas. We get together monthly for presentations, site demonstrations, and hack nights. Our goal is to help new Drupal users get up to speed, foster the development of existing Drupal designers and Developers, and contribute to the larger Drupal community. The Research Triangle has a big concentration of technical folks, universities, and start-ups and we want to expose as many people as possible to Drupal and all that it offers.
Propose a meeting topic here.

Read moreAny value in tridug having it's own website?
I was wondering if there is any value to tridug having it's own website where drupal collaboration teams in the area could have a quick and easy development space to play with projects, config, module setups, etc. I would envision the homepage running a semi-moderated drupal install, and then allowing groups to run separate installs off subdomains. It wouldn't be for real development, more of a play area, maybe the projects would be scratched every 3-9 months. Are any other regional groups doing this?
Shared hosting w/ unlimited subdomains, emails, diskspace are what... $8 a month now?
Read moreBook: "Drupal 7 Module Development", Butcher et al
Anyone have/read "Drupal 7 Module Development" by Butcher, et al and can recommend it?
The Amazon reviews look good, but only 8 and it's rather new (December 2010).
Curious if it's a good $40 investment, beyond what I can get in for example the "Pro Drupal 7 Development" book.

Contact: bberkner at elon.edu
I work with the MA Interactive Media program at Elon University (near Burlington NC). We have received a grant to install Drupal and would like to bring someone in to assist us for a couple days in our training. We have roughly $1500-$2000 to use toward this.
Would you or anyone you may know be interested in helping us out?
Thank you,

TriDUG Logo Explorations
At the last TriDUG meeting, I volunteered to create a logo for the group to use for branding, event signage etc. I was to present tonight at the meeting at Hesketh, but a family obligation (I'm now an uncle!) has prevented me from doing so. Attached are three possibilities for the logo with some possible extensions. Also please reference the attached explanatory document which covers what I would have said during the presentation.
Read moreTracking when user clicks "terms acceptance" link
I have a simple event I need to track.
User comes to a site's home page. To enter the site, the user must click a "terms acceptance" link on an enter page. If the user doesn't want to accept the terms, the site redirects the user back to the home page.

I've crossed posted this to the CCK Links and Genesis theme issues pages. I'm not clear where the failure is but I seem to be unique in experiencing it. I would dearly appreciate any thoughts on resolving this issue; thanks! (Yes, I will follow up on my cross-posts; I'd hate to leave such a mess.)

Simple IE9 general question
If there's any lemonade to be made out of IE, it's that IE8 let's you do testing in IE7 and IE8.
Does installing IE9 remove that kind of configuration ability?
One doesn't blithely install new programs on Windows, (including MS programs; hello registry!) so I'm curious to hear from any pioneers.
Thanks!
Read moreDate and Calendar
I am trying to set up and implement Date 6x-2.4 and Calendar 6x-2.7 on a Drupal 6.20 installation. I believe these modules will do what the client wants, but I am having some difficulties with configuration. This is for a craft gallery that has events that span over consecutive weekends and also over month long installations as well as monthly featured artists.

Hello!
I'm thinking of moving a somewhat high traffic site off of a Verio VPS to LiquidWeb's Storm on Demand cloud hosting:

I love the ability of our Verio VPS to scale up and down, but during high volume times the VPS isn't really enough.

Well it's about time we got the ball rolling on planning for Drupal Camp Asheville. The goal is to have a meeting (presumably at Top Floor Studio in Asheville, NC) in two weeks to get the base plan laid out.
I started a google calendar here: https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/embed?src=7i9imrputs2u7divjrt9p041gg... and can give write access to whoever wants it. I plotted the major drupal events I could find from a quick search. If you know more please comment and I will add to the list.
