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.
New to Drupal in Madison
Guys,
We're an online media startup in Madison and we're thinking about using Drupal for our CMS on our social networking site. We're all new to Drupal here and are wondering if anyone can get together for an introduction to it.
BarCamp Chippewa
A few of us up here in Northwestern Wisconsin are trying to get together the first-ever Western Wisconsin BarCamp. We're in the early organizing phases - meaning mostly we're mulling it over and looking for a time and place. Of course, the BarCamp will feature lots of Drupal love.

DrupalBootCamp UIUC Feedback
I thought I'd create this thread as a place to put feedback about DrupalBootCamp UIUC and see what that will mean for our May BU DrupalBootCamp.
This first one comes from one of our IT staff that visited the morning sessions:
---
I thought the UIUC Drupal event was very informative. I liked that each speaker had a short stint on their topic, and things moved along at a good pace. Starting off with your presentation provided a nice segue into the rest of the morning topics.
April Drupal Meetup (Madison)
After a month off, we're bringing the Drupal meetup back.
I'll come ready to talk about sessions and tricks learned at DrupalCon Boston, but I'd rather spend our time sharing our work.
If you're already working on a Drupal site, show it off.
If you're stuck on a particularly tough problem ask the group.
We'll start sharing at 6. If we don't run out of time I'm willing to talk about DrupalCon. Take a look at the session list to see if there's anything you're especially interested in (http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/sessions)

Drupal Table at Flourish Conference April 4th and 5th?
The Flourish conference is next weekend (April 4th and 5th), and it seems like a logical place to do some Drupal marketing.
It looks like we'd still be able to get a table.
Are there other folks planning on attending that would be up for setting up a marketing table?

Struggling With Podcasting
I've been trying to get a podcasting system set up at Writelarge.com, because I'd like to dust off my podcast and start reading my stories again.
Drupal kind of rocks for Podcasting. The software to upload and include a local or remote file in your RSS feed is pretty much handled all in the background, which is very nice if you're writing to a feed.
Read moreDoIT tech classes of interest to UW-Madison Drupalists
I probably can't attend any of these (I work for UW, but live in Oakland, CA), but people interested in spreading Drupal at UW-Madison could go to some of these to participate and advocate. Here's what DoIT's recent email says about the classes:

Just curious if there's anyone out here on the Western side of the state. I'm near La Crosse and don't know any other Drupal peeps here.

Read moreMadison Drupal Meetup with dww at Union South
I'll be back in Madison again from 2007-04-24 through 2007-05-05 for work (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/PCW2007 for the interested reader). I'll be fairly busy during the week of 04-30 to 05-04, but perhaps the thursday after i get there (04-26) would be a good night for an informal Drupal meet-up. anyone interested? please comment here so we can decide a) if it's worth doing and b) how big a space we'd need. also, if it'd be better at a different time or potentially day, just let me know.
Read moreDrupal Camp Wisconsin
There was quite the demand for Drupal at both BarCampMilwaukee and BarCampMadison. A couple of us are getting together to start planning a Drupal Camp. I've set up a drupal wiki (from an installation profile, total install time 15 minutes -- due to a slow shared host database server) at http://drupalcamp.blakehall.org
We're still in the VERY early stages of planning so we don't have details (like a date) yet.
If you're interested in helping plan feel free to post links, session ideas, etc...

Just announced...
BarCamp Madison
March 3rd - 4th
Inn on the Park
I've signed up to give sessions on drupal, but would love some help.
I'd really love to see a strong group of Drupalers there, maybe even have a drupal-hacking-mash-up-pit-sort-of-deal.
Anyone one else attending?
Read moreDrupal meet up Madison this week?
hi folks,
i'm in Madison this week for my day job (believe it or not, i'm academic staff at UW-Madison in the computer science department, even though i live in Oakland, CA). i was thinking it might be fun to try to throw together a drupal meet-up of some sort while i'm here. maybe wednesday 2006-12-13 after work? i don't know if there's a standard place where madison meetups have happened in the past... we could certainly do it on campus somewhere (especially easy for me if we did it in the CS department, or union south, etc). or, we could hit a coffee shop or something (i think y'all met at cafe assisi once before, if memory serves me right -- i played a few gigs there when i still lived out here grin).
Read moreAnyone up for getting together regularly?
What days/times are good for everyone? Is there a centrally located place that is quiet enough, offers non-smoking space, and has free wifi?

Someone contacted me about the idea of having some Drupal stuff go on at Barcamp Milwaukee. I can't guarantee my presence but i'm currently considering it... Might be a good time to meet up.
