We'd like to invite all Alliance Program members to our next members session Wednesday October 7 from 12-2PM at Advantage Labs.

To follow up on the discussion we had at our first session last month, we have two topics to propose for the agenda:

Come help us kickoff Geo June with a barbecue.  Partake in grilled goods aplenty and talk about all things Geo June. 

Location:

If you've been to the Twin Cities Users Group meetings, this is the same location. We'll be out back.

This past week at Drupalcon DC, I participated in a panel discussion about providing Drupal training organized by Sean Effel of Drupaltherapy.com fame.  While the session was not videotaped, Josh Miller has provided a "bootleg" audio recording on his site as part of this Josh Miller Minute series. Thanks, Josh.

Thanks, Sean, for the invite and the great work in convening a panel representing diverse perspectives.  In this post, I will attempt to summarize the philosophy, goals and specific focus of our training program at Advantage Labs (Minneapolis, MN) as I discussed at the session.

The Advantage Labs team is back in the office after another great DrupalCon!  Thanks for another well-run conference to support and highlight the rapidly growing Drupalsphere!

One highlight from last week was our presentation on Drupal as a GeoCMS.   We were sad that the team from Chicago Technology Cooperative were unable to attend, and wish Bec a speedy recovery. We were also looking forward to showing some of our progress on the Geo and Geocode modules, and grateful we still had the opportunity to do so.

As it turns out, the Drupal community was very excited as well.  We unveiled our progress to a full house and received a lot of positive feedback and encouragement.  We've been operating in relative obscurity, and it's such a treat to have someone come up and shake your hand, thanking you for the progress and the presentation.

Maybe it's just because I've been in the dark due to the too-long MN winter, but only recently have I awakened to a flurry of activity around social media in the Twin Cities.

Just last week there was a lively Lullabot sponsored Drupal meetup last week closely followed by a reportedly rousing Minnebar un-conference. Read More »
