This is a bit of a bait to lure Calgary Drupalers out of the woodwork. At least I'm assuming that there are others out there. I can't be the only one in a city of a million.
Take the bait, join the group.

Drupal 8
Even though code freeze is still a few months away I've been working with 8 for a while and recently been uncovering a number of undocumented features which are cropping up due to the presence of the Symfony components. I'm curious if others in Calgary have been under the hood with 8 and might want to compare notes?

Not for profit - need some Drupal help
Hi All,
I am looking for a good soul (or 2) that can help a not for profit Field Lacrosse club (Mustangs) with their Drupal 7 website.
I picked D7 as a platform and learning it as fast as possible - but the deadline is approaching and I still have some must-have components missing.
The site still needs:
- A player-registration system (ubercart?) with payment collection
- A profile page per player - password protected (so only NCAA coaches can look at it)
and ... I still need to learn A LOT ;-)
