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.
Milwaukee Meeting at Potbelly's
Erich and I plan to meet next week at Potbelly's sandwich shop (at 161 W Wisconsin Ave), to discuss Drupal 4.6/4.7 configuration and setup, CCK, theme overrides, and custom themes.
We know very little about all these subjects, but we will combine our ignorance into something truly amazing.
Come join us, and we can add your knowledge, introduce ourselves, and broaden the scope of the meeting to include any topic you care to bring up.

Wisconsin Progressive Webmasters
I'm trying to start up a group of webmasters, bloggers, etc. in Wisconsin that is dedicated to progressive politics. If anyone is interested in joining such a group, please let me know. Our first activity will be to have a booth at Fighting Bob Fest next month.
Read moreAnyone from Milwaukee with some time on their hands?
I am extremely new to Drupal and am more or less just fooling around with some stuff trying to make my first web page. I was wondering if anyone in the Milwaukee area would be willing to get together and show me some of the ropes. I would love to buy this person a meal and some drinks for their time. If anyone is willing, please email me at yonderboy23@gmail.com
Thanks!

Report back from Wisconsin Drupal Meeting 1; mini-DrupalCamp at Social Forum?
Blake from DANEnet, Patricia and Sheldon from Center for Media and Democracy and myself (from Midwest Social Forum) met for about 2 hours at Michelangelo's. We spent much of the time introducing ourselves and our various projects, and got into some details about various modules and implementations we're dealing with. Apparently we're all fans of the mapping modules....
We actually spent most of the time talking about the Midwest Social Forum (new Drupal site that went live yesterday!). Initially, i brought up the idea of working with other folks to put together a workshop on social software, which would present Drupal along with some other tools out there that community orgs and social movements can make use of. The current proposal for that is located here: http://www.mwsocialforum.org/node/511.

When you login as a regular member, what are you allowed to do: "create poll", "create story", "create event", etc.?
Any bugs, glitches, or missing features you notice?
I'm asking, so I know how heavily each member has to rely on the manager to do things vs. doing them on their own.
