Twin Cities

Before committing to the designer and client, I am trying to figure out if the following is possible.

I wanted to volunteer to do a presentation on how to setup your Drupal 7 site for instances where content needs to be moderated/approved before it's published. I'm currently working on standardizing this at my current company and thought it would be something interesting to share with the group. So far I'm utilizing the Revisioning Module and Rules. I know there are other modules out there, but I'd like to present one option on how to accomplish this.

Forcontu is offering 10 x Training Scholarships for the Expert in Drupal 7 online course (valued at USD1350). If you want to apply, complete the form before April 15, 2015.

Save the date.

This years Drupal Camp will be June 25th - 28th at the University of St. Thomas, Mpls (same as last year).

Planning is officially underway. If you have an idea for Drupal Camp, post them here or come to Happy Hour tonight and let us know (no official meeting tonight, but I'm sure that we'll be talking about camp).

We are using BaseCamp for camp planning, if you are not getting meeting notifications already and want to be part of the process - let us know.

Hey everybody I'm trying to gauge interest in joining in an AirBnb for Drupalcon? I think Wylbur also has an AirBnb but I don't know if that one was for Drupalcon or not.

So far I've got 1 other person confirmed and 1 other person interested joining the AirBnb. Need to see if I can get 3 other people to join.

Otherwise I need to book a hotel room.

Last year was my first Overnight Website Challenge. I was skeptical, but I learned way more than I ever expected to. There's something special about learning by working with a team for a common goal. I got to experience how projects are run at the Nerdery by being on Chris' team, which helped discover new modules, new techniques, and overall improve how I run projects with Enjoy Creativity (and later Triplo).

That's why it's my pleasure to tell you about OWC this year. The Overnight Website Challenge is an event where teams of people like you build websites pro-bono for nonprofits from 9am on May 2nd until 9am on May 3rd. Joining a team would be a great experience for folks that want to join a crazy event and learn a lot about the process of making websites.

The sponsors provide food, drinks, desks, power, wifi during the entire 24 hour period. You just have to bring along your own essentials: laptop / desktop, monitor, keyboard, good luck charm, board games - whatever you need to survive the 24 hours or keep you going late at night. Not sure you can make it the whole night? There are even places to nap, quiet rooms, and even a place to get massage.

So far the Twin Cities has two teams focused on Drupal:

We are dealing with a new client right now, an agency that is working with a restaurant. The retaurant site has not been updated since 7.12! The agency is asking for some documentation to share with the client about the need for these updates.

I did a simple google search, and came up with no usable results! Maybe Drupal.org has some resources, but I have never seen anything like that there.

This would be a really valuable resource for everyone working with clients. I'm really surprised we as Drupal users are not sharing some of this.
