Berkeley

Next Monday, Michelle Ziegmann (UC Berkeley Educational Technology Services) will cover some advanced site building techniques. I recently launched a site for an online course that featured a game-based pedagogical approach. The game is designed to facilitate an actively engaged community of peers focused on student artwork and internet citizenship. Through their activities in the site, students earn "badges" that indicate their progress in the course.

There are 95 days left until the social event of the season called
BADCamp. We have 633 people signed up for the event and 54,000ドル in
sponsorship money raised. It will be all happening, of course, but
plenty of work to do. The high level goals are to chat website things
and help build the larger team of volunteers.

Earlier this year, John Albin gave a presentation to BDUG on "Rethinking responsive building techniques with Drupal."

This session is a follow-up to John's presentation where I'll get into some of the details of Responsive Web Theming with Zen 5, Sass, and Compass.

Topics will include:
- What is "responsive web" again, and what does a responsive website look like?
- What is a media query, and how do I use one in a Drupal theme?
- Benefits of using Zen 5 as a base theme
- Benefits of Sass and Compass, and how to get started

This is just a reminder that there will be no BADCamp meeting tonight, July 9th, because there is a SFDUG meetup at the Chapter Three office.

We will be holding BADCamp meeting #6 on Monday July 16th, at 6pm.

Drupalers:

This month we have Jen Lampton of Jeneration Web Development speaking on her Total Control Admin Dashboard. This is gonna be good. Don't miss it. Here's the skinny:

There are a lot of administrative interfaces in Drupal. Site architects have a hard time finding their way around, but imagine how it must feel for a lowly administrator who only wants to change some of their categories, or review submitted comments.

Have you heard your clients ask you questions like these:

"Where do I go to do that?"

"Is that section under structure or content?"

There are 144 days left until the social event of the season called BADCamp. We have 1 person signed up for the event (it's just me, don't get excited) and 12,000ドル in sponsorship money raised. It will be all happening, of course, but plenty of work to do. Come help us organize and put on the biggest FREE Drupal event in the world!

NOTE - This meeting is now one hour later at 6pm.

I'm looking for a presenations for the Berkeley Drupal User's Group.

Chapter Three presents PHP for Drupal

Chapter Three presents Development Best Practices!

The Sacramento Drupal Users Group is pleased to announce the 2nd annual DrupalCamp Sacramento.

This highly-anticipated event will be two days full of sessions, BoFs, code sprinting, and engagement, with our special keynote speaker Chris Shattuck.
Registration is now open and session proposals are now being accepted!

This one-day workshop gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the right way to manage your Drupal website. You'll learn about version control for your code and ways to manage changes in your data. You’ll also see how the Features module can enable you to keep your configuration changes in version control. We'll cover industry-approved deployment strategies that let you move smoothly through development, testing and live environments. You’ll get a high-level overview of how to modify the way your site looks by sub-theming, preventing hours of frustration should your original theme be updated.

This two-day workshop teaches you to create your first custom theme from scratch. You’ll learn how well-built themes integrate seamlessly with the rest of Drupal. You’ll customize the basic look for your site by creating a basic layout, defining block regions and adding a custom style sheet. You’ll see how to override template files from Drupal core and contributed modules. As we explain how to work with PHP, we’ll also show you how to use Drupal’s internal functions to make your data safe for display.

BADCamp

For those of you new to Drupal or Drupal camps, BADCamp is a gathering of like-minded people to discuss and learn about Drupal, an open-source content management system that is powering more of the web every year. BADCamp was inspired by BarCamp events and is powerd by people like you. Come to share ideas, get involved in the community, and meet your online friends in person. BADCamp is a FREE event put on by the people, for the people, and with the help of some generous sponsors.

This year's events include:

Thanks to our friends at ChapterThree, we've snared "Drupal-famous" speaker John Albin this month. This promises to be a great session including responsive strategies in Drupal 7 and a look at where things are heading in Drupal 8.

We’ve had over a year to think about how "Responsive web design"
affects us. The relatively straightforward techniques described in
Ethan Marcotte’s book and A List Apart article won’t be covered in
this session. Instead, we’ll think about the limitations we’ve placed
on ourselves with our current building techniques and how to break
