Virginia Tech

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Learning something new is what college is all about. Here at Virginia Tech we learn tons about traditional computer languages like Java/C/C++ and their uses in traditional computing, but in this day and age everything is going to the web. This group is aiming to familiarize ourselves with the most popular web language combination out there, PHP and MySQL, as well as give something back to the open source community.

Two tickets to DrupalCon Nashville for sale (for less than the early bird price)

Hello,

One of DebugAcademy.com 's alumni let me know she has tickets to DrupalCon which she can't use and asked if I knew anyone to sell them to. I figured posting here makes sense, especially given how much time is left until DrupalCon Nashville.

Let me know if you'd like to purchase them. Looking for $350 or best offer.

Posting this to multiple groups because it's equally relevant to most people. Please reach out ASAP if you're interested.

    Hosting

    Now that Drupal (Acquia) Commons 7.x-3.0 is out I need to look at new hosting. I think I am looking for VPN. I have had a dedicated server, but I don't want the hassle of maintaining the OS and running my own email. I think DC+Aegir is probably too much for most shared hosting environments. Acquia Cloud would be great but is out of my budget. I'm looking for something in the $50/month range. Is anyone using a VPN solution (with a control panel and email) that is set up to accommodate DC+Aegir?

    Domain Access instead of Multi Site? Other Ideas?

    We are using multisite Drupal currently for 3 sites. Lets call them:

    www.mysite.edu (main site)
    support.mysite.edu
    students.mysite.edu

    We have a number of issues with multisite. We are looking to add a couple more sites.. which will compound these issues.
