Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group (VanDUG) is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story.
The group mostly hangs out on Slack at https://vandug.slack.com/. We also post our meetings on Meetup.com at https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Drupal-Users-Group. All are welcome, it's listed as a private group to keep out the griefers.
We've been holding semi-regular virtual meetings during COVID-19.

August 2007 Meeting - In Your Face(Book)
Saying there was excitement when FaceBook made an API available for developers is like saying it rains in Vancouver. But here's something you might not know. The folks who created Project Opus have also created a Project Opus MP3 player for FaceBook that's powered by Drupal - and they're talking!!!
Join us Thursday August 30th as David Gratton, Ross Howard-Jones and James Andres from the Donat Group do an encore of their Vancouver BarCamp presentation on the FaceBook MP3 player powered by Drupal.
As always, there will be a Question and Answer session for questions on anything Drupal and a chance to tell the group about any cool stuff you've been working on.
Date: Thursday August 30th, 6:30pm
Location: Bryght Offices, 1 Alexander Street, Suite 400 in Gastown. [Map] (Details below).
For those who don't need to leave right away there's typically a more social discussion at a local pub afterwards.

Read moreOy! The Related Content Module
Hey Drupal peeps--
I've got a question for you...what is with the Related Content module??? Is the only way to theme it through the php? To use it you have to set up a view, but then it doesn't actually use the fields from that view, it seems to have a default view of its own that's overriding that (which I can only guess is coming from the php, based on what's in the Read me. Otherwise it does exactly what I'm looking for, but I need to be able to make it show the related content as only the titles of the related nodes, as links in a list. Preferably as a block.
Many thanks!

June 2007 Meeting Notes
Alex has posted his presentation (open office format) and links from his Thursday talk on Amazon S3 services in his blog:

It was a "crap happens" night so we didn't have a video projector or the audio equipment we typically have. The improvisation with the LCD monitor worked well for a video projector replacement. Using the camera microphone didn't produce as good a result. I'll leave it to Roland whether or not he wants to post the video link.

Amazon S3 - Storage for the Internet with Alex Harford.
Alex Harford will share his real world experience with Amazon S3 services.
Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.
Boris had some thoughts on how it could be used with Drupal: Scalable static file hosting and some thoughts on Amazon S3.
We'll also be discussing some related Drupal modules and have a Drupal Q & A, so bring your questions on anything related to Drupal!
