You may have heard a lot about the DrupalCorn Camp 2012 but there is also a pre-camp Training Day that you may consider attending. Although the courses are not totally free, at $20 (lunch included) this is a nominal fee.

Chris Shattuck and Michael Hofmockel are executing two all day training courses that will run the day before the camp.

DrupalCampWI 2012 is currently accepting registration and session submissions! The camp is Saturday, July 28, 2012 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The camp is appropriate for Drupal beginners and experts alike. We also hope to have some conference and "unconference" content specifically focused on Drupal in Higher Education.

Hello all,

Last week, I attended the 2012 MIT-Knight Civic Media Conference at the MIT Media Lab and had the opportunity to do a 5-minute "ignite talk" about the What's Up initiative that we are carrying in Wisconsin:

Built on VoIP Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/voipdrupal/), What's Up is a software platform designed to allow people in a small geographic community to share information, plan events and make decisions, using media that is as broadly inclusive as possible.

We are preparing an English version of our Drupal training program and we are looking for people interested in reviewing and testing the materials, at the same time they get advanced Drupal training for free.

We are building a team of 5-10 people (english native speakers) to start on April 16th, 2012.

If you are interested or know somebody that could be, please fill in or share the form to contact us.

I have some Drupal 7 architecture "cases" or "problems" to present at the next MADDUG meeting.

Can we meet again at 5:30 PM CST, Wednesday, April 4? How about Essen Haus in Madison for a venue? We could have some din-din, discuss these Drupal architecture cases/problems, and have a grand ol' time. If you don't like the date/time, feel free to suggest another. I'm flexible! First round of Hacker-Pschorr (or your favorite beer or soft drink) is on me!

Here's a preview of the Drupal 7 cases I would like to discuss...

I offered to help a friend get a Views Galleriffic gallery page working the way she wants it on her site, and found that it's a little beyond my still-fairly-basic Drupal skills. Would anybody be willing to help her out? She can offer some graphic design / printing in barter.

Thanks,
Benet
