This group is for anyone who uses Drupal and lives in or near the State of Wisconsin, USA.
Let's get together and support each other's various efforts to use and improve this great content management and social networking system.
Question Regarding Categories & Taxonomy
I am building a site and I want to manage certain posts and I thought I'd tap the local community for some advice on how to set it up properly.
The site would allow users to submit news articles. Free tagging will be implemented. I have 'news' set up as a term in taxonomy with the list of associated terms. My question is how do people view all 'news'?
I'll help flesh it out.

Impromptu Drupal Users Group Meet-up Anyone?
I've gotta say, it's been a while since I've attended a MadDUG meetup but the Drupal User Group meetup this past Thursday in Madison, was really great. Great topics, great discussions, great ideas, methods, personal workflows, and was just a great time. Seeing lots of familiar faces at the meetup was nice and seeing many more new people there too made it even better. Thanks again to the DANEnet crew for the meeting set-up, wi-fi & av gear.
Now ... I know this is a Wisconsin group, not just a Madison, WI group however, seeing that the next MadDUG meeting

Student Drupal Tech Help
I work for a group at the UW that manages a small group of Drupal sites for departments in our building. (No, this isn't a service we extend to just any department, it has to be in our building.)
However, when approached for this service, we always stress how
1) we will give you a blank drupal install, maybe a theme or two, a tutorial on how to use it and let you go to town.
2) we will not do custom design.
Madison Drupal Users Group -- September
This month we'll again be meeting at DANEnet in the second floor conference room from 6-8pm.

Hope to see you there.

Any drupal users in Watertown WI
Any drupal users in the area of Watertown WI and surrounding areas?
I seem to drive either to madison or milwaukee for all events or to find people that use drupal and thats a hike for someone that does not have much time. Its more of a hobby for me so not looking for gurus, I have a few sites already but looking to save each other some time on the learning curve. As well as help each other out when possible. Who knows maybe there could be a group of us between the two big cities that meet up to discuss problems and ways each one of us are doing things.

Taxes coming for website contractors
Hi all. My name is Rich and I do independent website development in Madison, with some usage of Drupal. Some reliable sources have clued me in that the upcoming implementation of the streamlined sales tax -- which primarily taxes internet sales from out of state -- also includes terms that would make it necessary for me and other developers creating customized software to charge our customers sales tax.

Drupal Web Theme Design Needed for UW-Madison Horticulture Website
First of all, thank you so much to everyone who responded to my last request to this group. I've found someone to help me build my site in Drupal.
I am also helping the UW Madison Horticulture Department recreate their current webpage (http://www.horticulture.wisc.edu/) in Drupal. I've set up the website but I'm not a designer, so I'm looking for someone to create a nice theme. I'm not sure yet how much the chair of the department is willing to pay. I think it would be between $500 and $1000 depending on the complexity.
Thanks,
Sarah
