Read moreMinnebar this weekend
This year Minnebar has offered local user groups a free table to promote themselves (and their events - i.e. Twin Cities Drupal Camp) along with two tickets for folks to help staff the table.
Dan Ficker is checking to see if we can still get a table. Is there anyone already planning on attending Minnebar that would be willing to help staff a table?
Is there anyone that would like to attend Minnebar in exchange for a ticket (all tickets are FREE, but they are sold out).

Read moreDrupal Sites Getting Hacked?!?!?
TC Drupal People,
I've had two Drupal sites running 7.43 and all modules that needed security updates have been updated. No red warning for updates. All FTP & user logins have very strong passwords that change a lot.
However, these sites still got hacked!
My question: Is there something I'm missing or suggestions on must update or better way to protect my Drupal sites?
I do have them monitored and cleaned for Malware, plus multiple back ups to restore from.
Please chime in if you have any feedback or advice for me (from a Drupal viewpoint or not).
Thank you,
Corey
GeoCode 2.0
There is a hack-a-thon going on this weekend dealing specifically with geodata. Here is an opportunity to give back to the community using your tech skills. I plan to participate and would love to see other Drupalers attend.
I'm proposed a project, which I'm hoping will give me the opportunity to learn about accessing and creating public API's.

Event is free, but space is limited (and running out).

Looking for able developer or small agency for a client we've outgrown
We have a client that we've outgrown, and we're trying to find someone else who can take them on. The client and the site were inherited from another vendor in the Twin Cities, and we were able to bring the site to a stable, working version. This client has been with us since January of 2014.
