Drupal Self-Help Group meets again, Thursday, August 23, 2012.
Organic Group: Enabling one-click Joining of Groups
I have implemented OG for Druapl 6. If a new user is to join or leave a group, he or she clicks on "Join" or "Leave" but is required to again confirm as a second step, before the action takes place. This feels rather archaic. Is there a way to skip the confirmation and have the user join or leave with a single click? I would appreciate suggestions on how to implement this functionality.

Read morePackaging Drupal Installation for handoff.
I (a Drupal rookie) have been working on a site for another department for several months now.
They would like me to turn the project over to their developers.
Is there a standard process for packaging/documenting a Drupal installation to deliver to another team?
Do you just dump the whole directory and database?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hold your events at the MassChallenge Space--One Marina Park Drive in Boston
MassChallenge has a website built in drupal and more work than we can possibly get done alone. Hold your event in our awe inspiring space, take advantage of our free beer, pool table, ping pong table, fooz ball table and xbox afterwards, and possibly help us install a module or two while having fun! No commitment to actually doing work is required, but we do ask permission to beg for help at the beginning or end of your meeting. :) Don't like working for free? Let's settle it with a best of three in eight ball.

Read morereleasing my install profile this week! check out my Drupalcon session proposal...
Friends,
Back in the spring, I did a demo of an install profile I've been working on (copying the White House's website for a Boston state senator). Many of you have been generous with words of encouragement for my project since then. So, I'm taking the leap...
I proposed a session for Drupalcon, and I'll be releasing the code this week.
I'm new to the Drupalcon speaking circuit, so I'm hoping to drum up some votes and nice comments. If you've got a minute, please check out my Drupalcon session proposals here:
