Waterloo Region DUG: Contributing to Drupal
Submitted by andrew on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 23:52
One of the most difficult hurdles for new members of the Drupal community to overcome is making the jump from a "user" to a "contributor". Many associate "contributor" with core hackers, PHP gurus, and CSS wizards. In reality, any Drupal user or site builder can easily become a contributor, through support, advocacy, documentation, and so on. For more information, check out the attached slides, or see the Drupal.org Contribution page.

I received a most excellent Christmas present from a friend of mine:
Druplicon cookies (looks like she saw my Drupalcamp Montreal shirt!)
And though she didn't know it, the other cookies matched the theme perfectly:
Kitten cookies (taste extra good when you hack core)
Using a Novatel U760 on Snow Lepoard (with automatic ejecting)
Submitted by andrew on Mon, 10/26/2009 - 13:53
One of the most useful new features in Snow Leopard is built-in support for many common WWAN USB devices used to connect to the internet over a 3G connection. This means that instead of having to use a special application (such as "Mobile Connect" when connecting with Bell), you can just use the new menu applet instead. I'm using a Novatel U760 adapter, and here are the steps I used to make its use seamless under 10.6.

I just finished giving a presentation at DrupalCamp Montreal about using Subversion to manage Drupal development and deployment. I've attached the slides and code I mentioned during the seminar; video will be posted by the DCM DBN team soon.
Waterloo Region DUG Meeting: Simplifying Drupal Development with Subversion
Submitted by andrew on Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:31
Yesterday I gave a presentation to the Waterloo Region Drupal User Group about the basics of using Subversion to manage a Drupal website. Most of the presentation applies to any use of Subversion, though I do touch on a few specifics relating to Drupal. If you're interested in learning about using version control to manage any website or project, this is a great place to start.
