Greetings Bay Area Drupalers,

Our November meeting got bumped into December by Thanksgiving, so we are
meeting this Thursday, Dec 4th.

This will be our last BDUG meeting of 2008. It's been quite a year.
Drupal 6 is now a solid product, with View & CCK releases, another win
as Packets CMS of the year, and commercial support from Acquia. Enough

Ok, the date for the next Drupal group meeting will be December 4th.
Hope no one is too disappointed to miss out on the opportunity to eat
turkey and talk Drupal and the same time :)
cheers,

Ok, everyone can stop emailing me now.
Yes, we were scheduled for Thanksgiving. No, we will not meet then. I
will send a update when I nail down an alternative time slot.

to give everyone a warm glow. But we all still have work to do, and this

Hello All,

I am currently running a Drupal site that I developed for a non-profit
that provides rites of passage experiences for young men who are
finding there way into adulthood/manhood. We need help with ongoing
maintenance and upgrading issues.

Hello all,
I'm sure you're all used to me crying for help by now - this is more
of the same story.
I need some very minor administration help on [link]
- install & config XML sitemap module
- install core "contact" module (disable & replace a custom contact module)
If you're up for some debugging, you can also help me figure out why I

Greetings Bay Area Drupalers,
The next BDUG meeting is today, Thursday October 23rd, at lunch time.
Let's recover from BADCamp with a discussion of what it takes to build a

Greetings Bay Area Drupalers,
Please note that this month's meeting is on TUESDAY the 30th, instead of our regular Thursday slot.

My company recently rewrote the whole up/down voting module, but I'm
not sure there's a page for it yet on d.o. Would you like me to send

I am using drupal to run an entertainment website and instead of using
a classic star rating system, I'd like to have a "rep" system, where
if the user likes the content he or she sees, they can simply click on
a button reading "Rep It" and it will increase the count number for
that particular video.

Just a reminder that we are NOT meeting tomorrow in our usual time
slot. Instead we will be meeting next Tuesday the 30th. We will go
back to our normal 4th Thursday schedule in October.
Also, we will probably break up into two groups for the last half hour
of the meeting, so we can recruit people who want to help out with

Hey everyone,

Just to show the crazy things you can do with Drupal 6: [link]
is a YouTube video editor I put together with Drupal. It takes
advantage of D6's multilingual capabilities, the latest jQuery, AJAX
support, and more.

Of course it's also hooked up with the new YouTube API and a whole lot

Greetings Bay Area Drupalers,
Please note that this month's meeting is on TUESDAY the 30th, instead of our regular Thursday slot.
This month we are having a blast-from-the-past: Open Q&A. Bring your Drupal questions large and small, and we will try to match them up with answers. Or, bring your answers, and we will try and find suitable questions.
