Still need a ticket to DrupalCon?
I registered for DrupalCon but just found out that I can't go this year. :( Does anyone still need a ticket? I got mine at $350 and the cost has since gone up to $400. You would save $50 that could better spent on enjoying downtown Denver! Contact me at billielee@gmail.com if you want it.

Anyone interested in sharing a hotel room at DrupalCon in a couple weeks? I've got a reservation at the Grand Hyatt for 4 nights, Monday - Friday. The Grand Hyatt is not the hotel right at the convention center. That one is booked up. This is only two blocks away, though.
Read moreFebruary Meeting
Hello Drupalistas,
Today, once again, is the Ann Arbor Drupal Users Group Meeting - we are going to be focusing a bit on beginning use of Drupal. Mainly, how to install and configure most stock settings and get you on your way to installing and configuring contributed modules. There is no structure for this meeting and we will have an open discussion on what each of us considers the best way to set up a new website. Of course, we can also discuss more advanced topics, depending who shows up.
As usual, we will go across the street for beer after the meeting.
See you at 7pm!
-Victor.
February meeting- I am making my first real Drupal site and want to do it right
I have not been to a meeting for a year or so, my how time flies. I offered to make a discussion and information website for the Washtenaw County rain garden program and now they want it. Mainly, it is for their Master Rain Gardener program for students to interact on a forum, the organizer to make postings (tips, tricks, reminders), and ultimately a plant selection guide. I thought this may be a good project for me to use Drupal on but reading books and forums are not the same as an actual implementation.

Read moreLooking for Consulting Firms who have experience with Drupal+Cloud Hosting solutions
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a consultant or firm in the local area that can assist with a few issues for cloud hosting and Drupal?
We need someone who knows all aspects of cloud hosting, and drupal deployment in to the cloud. The two Cloud Hosting Providers we are currently considering are RackSpace and Michigan Colocation, but are open to other suggestions. Does anyone have experience with these companies?
Thanks!

I hope you are all having a great holiday season!

If you are around, we would love to see you, so stop on by!
