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.

ESIP Summer Drupal Lab in Chapel Hill NC
The Details of the meeting are on the ESIP Commons (Event URL)... We will have a set of demonstrations from NASA and NOAA Drupal web developers and a special guest:

Owen Barton (Drush maintainer) is also speaking on updates to Drush.
We invite all local Drupalistas to join in! The Friday Center at UNC charges us $70 per day per person... so we have to pass along a one day fee ($70) to people who are not registered for the main ESIP meeting.

Read moreDrupalCon Group Viewing
Would anyone be interested in a group viewing session of DrupalCon? For those of us not going, I'm thinking that we could get together for a full day of watching the best of DrupalCon 2013. This is assuming all the sessions will be recorded, just as they have been for the past however many DrupalCons. NCSU Libraries could potentially provide space for this too, I can definitely get a room with tables that holds 20-30 people.
Read moreDo you have any SEO recommendations?
We launched a (Drupal 6) website about 2 years ago (www.fsrmagazine.com) and the traffic hasn't grown like we were hoping. We've done a lot of basic SEO stuff, such as page titles, good content, sitemaps, etc, but the "game" has evolved over the years and we aren't able to keep up.
So we're looking for outside help - do you know of any local (Triangle area, NC) experts in (white-hat) traffic growth strategies?
Thanks!

New conundrum
D7.21 , DCommerce 1.5, Rules 2.2, Address Field 1.0-beta3
Well I built my first module. It populates a field in Address Field with selectable NC counties. It works well, albeit my code is likely ugly (having never written a module and no real experience in coding).

Hello NC Drupalers,
Following up on Judy's post from a few weeks ago, I wanted to let you all know that voting is open for session proposals at the NCTech4Good 2013 conference.
Read morewhat am I doing wrong now?
could someone shed some light on this? I want a background color on the entire background. However, I get a block of white at the bottom of the screen. I can add padding to get rid of it, but is that what I am supposed to be doing?
#page {
background: #E7CBBB;
padding: 0px 0px 400px 0px;
}

When looking at it in Firebug or Chrome inspect, I can't select the area.

I thought some of you would be interested in this...and I'll mention that TriDUG gets a shout-out in the book :)
I've got some exciting news for you today! I've pretty much finished
my book. Oh wait, you've been writing a book you ask? Yes. I decided
to write a book this past December about Raleigh being an open source city and a guide for other cities.
The book is in the final stages of editing and I'm raising money to
get the first 500 copies published. Here's where you can help.
I've launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign (think Kickstarter,
