I'm looking forward to your drush-make talk already!
It looks like Meetup allows group members to submit ideas for meetings -- feel free to start adding at http://www.meetup.com/cleveland-drupal/ideas/
I am also willing to speak on most of these topics.
James: you rock. Your offer to help is much appreciated, and I'll be sure to take you up on it.
I'm hoping for the first meeting we can meet-and-greet, and try to gauge how to gear the next few meetings.
My guess is that we'll have quite a broad cross-section of proficiencies and interests. I'd like to figure out how to make this broadly accessible and, at the same time, ensure we have opportunities to really get into down-and-dirty details.
If you have -- or anyone has -- any thoughts here, I'm all ears.
Please: start thinking about meeting topics -- what would you like to learn, and what would you like to share?
Finally: http://www.meetup.com/cleveland-drupal/
This idea has been bouncing around, doing nothing, for too long. I decided the other day to just create a Meetup and kickstart things.
Please sign up, spread the word, and let's get this goin!
Can't wait to meet y'all find ways to share, learn, collaborate...
I just signed up for the Drupal Meet-Up and would like to iterate that I am able to extend my assistance to help this group get off the ground here in Cleveland.

You can forward the specification details to praveen.k@etisbew.com
Thanks in advance for your quick response.
Thanks & Regards,

I would love to do a meetup soon. I will be doing a photo contest soon on a drupal site(livecleveland.org) and would like to get as much input as possible. It seems like a mix of cck and views with imagefield and one of the rating modules is what we have to work with right now. Also the launch of Drupal 7 should be enough to talk all night. Hope fully we could get some interest here. Jeff-- are you able to email all your members and gage interest?
Yes! This is the key trend that is allowing Open Source CMSes to quickly supercede their proprietary counterparts. I think that OS CMSes are going to become the trophy of community development. I have seen at least a dozen companies regularly contributing Themes and Modules on drupal, not to mention even more organizations and companies sponsoring work here and there. This is not to mention the amazing Installation Profiles like Pressflow, Open Atrium, and others that are emerging. I have seen some CMSes out there that are OS and CHARGE for modules and themes... the madness of it!
The sense of communtiy collaboration and creating a commons on so many nuanced levels around Drupal is exactly why it is so incredibly successful. Whether you are an independent developer or are being paid to develop for Drupal, you are part of a system of reciprocity. You make your work available, and it comes back around to you in the greatest repository of modules ever assembled by any CMS.
I think companies are beginning to catch on to this trend and they just might be starting to see the bigger picture. Once D7 begins to underpin production websites, most proprietary CMSs are just going to fall by the wayside.
Best of all, its a simple pathway for companies to learn about the Open Source software development model and see its many strengths.
Fixed.
Not sure why file permissions had gotten screwed up.
Thanks for letting me know, Ron.
links do not work for downloading this presentation.
can i at least view it somewhere?
thanks ron
Sorry fndtn357, I was testing the Jobs form and forgot to turn off auto-tweeting of new entries...
I believe that peepscreative might be looking for a Drupal developer...
I logged in and am still unable to see this post.
Best Regards,

Step 1 was to move the existing City Fresh site into Drupal so that the stakeholders could better edit the content and structure. Step next involves adding new opportunities for contributed content and some custom functionality. Step N+1 will be a site redesign...
It's nice to be able handle these one-at-a-time. We weren't quite ready for a complete redesign, but needed distributed editing of site content.
It's doesn't have to be difficult to gain control of an existing website. Most site layouts and structures carry over easily into Drupal. Keep the exact look and feel of your site, but be able to edit page content, change menus and navigation, and allow for user interaction...
My slides posted here: Drupal Presentation for WebSIG.
I showed off what Drupal can do to Ben, my good friend and Passport Project's talented webmaster, just last month.
He's since moved the site over from using DreamWeaver, and custom php/mysql, and some WordPress integration.
The site looks great, and Passport Project is now better poised to take more of the great work they do in the community to the web. I'm impressed (but not surprised) at how quickly he caught the bug and moved things over.
Fixed -- thanks Boris!
OpenID actually has been in core as of Drupal6.
From this blog post it appears the site was created by Switchbox Inc, in Columbus.
I'm glad to see that within the last few hours they turned on Clean URLs -- thank goodness, no more "?q=...".
Now it's time to set up PathAuto (Automated Aliases) and change "node/4" "node/5", to more meaningful URL strings.

Just caught the warning from @DrupalCon on Twitter that only 50 tickets were left for DrupalCon 2009 -- and there were 100 just a few hours before that.
I was going to apply for a scholarship, but didn't get to it soon enough.
When I pressed Buy a few minutes ago, there were 40 left; get one while you can! If any other Clevelanders are headed out to DC for the conference, please let me (and everyone) know, and let's work something out together.
Really looking forward to my first DrupalCon!
Thanks. Not minor!
Actually, it seems the issue was a little weirder.
The stylesheets for the Quick Tabs module (which helps create the Online and New tabs in the Cleveland Drupalers block) were not being loaded when the site was accessed via its base URL (as opposed to from .../node.)
Clearing the cache seems to have fixed things.
I'll be keeping an eye out, but please let me know if this happens again.
I know a few of the other bullets are a bit wonky -- as well as the quick tabs within FF. It's on my radar. Minor is important...
Aha -- it was there, you just didn't have permissions. Thanks for catching that.
I appreciate you adding GCBL, but I've just removed it as I had already posted it here.
I did a bit of searching and posted every local Drupal site I could find. If you have more to share, please do!
