November Meet Up
Hi everyone,
It's been too long since we met up during the day. Union South has a big tv that connects to a laptop where we can meet (unless someone else has another spot where we can meet and would be quieter).

WI August Meet-up
Hi everyone. I'm looking to see if there is interest in a Monthly meet-up. At the Drupal Camp WI there was talk of having regular monthly meetings again.
Let's meet next Wednesday (14th) from 1-3pm at Union South. Sort of an informal meet-up where people can come when they want and we can work through different problems. I'll be there the entire time and I'll will be hacking my way through Organic Groups & SASS. I'll post a message here to let people know where I'm sitting.

Drupal Project needs some Project Management advising.
The group I work with on campus is taking on a Website Conversion from a custom built .aspx site to Drupal 7. We are not a Drupal shop ( I have been preaching Drupal but adoption is slow). We would like someone who has experience with a similar project to come in and give a rough idea of what the project framework might look like. This could probably just be a one time meeting laying out an overview of what it would look like. If there is someone who might be uniquely suited to this in the UW system you could pm me their name as well.
Thank you for your time,
Patrick Rogne

I just created a really simple photo album in D6. It shows up very nicely in Firefox and Chrome, but no images in IE. Does anyone have any obvious, easy fixes? (hopefully?)

I used these modules:CCK, Contemplate, FileField, ImageAPI, ImageCache, ImageField, ImageField_Crop, LightBox2
Thanks for your help.

Read moreUW (or any state) employee working freelance for another UW department
I'm wondering if anyone out there works in any state position (UW or otherwise) AND does web work on the side, for another UW department. If so, are you paid through regular payroll, or as a contractor with your business name and LLC? If you are paid as a contractor, please help me out with how the department you do freelance for was able to set that up.
Thanks in advance - I really appreciate your assistance.

Using VoIP Drupal for social inclusion and civic empowerment in Wisconsin
Hello all,
Last week, I attended the 2012 MIT-Knight Civic Media Conference at the MIT Media Lab and had the opportunity to do a 5-minute "ignite talk" about the What's Up initiative that we are carrying in Wisconsin:
Built on VoIP Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/voipdrupal/), What's Up is a software platform designed to allow people in a small geographic community to share information, plan events and make decisions, using media that is as broadly inclusive as possible.
