Illinois

The Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS) is planning to replace our current Drupal 6 website with a mobile-friendly Drupal 7 website. We are seeking to contract with a creative and experienced Drupal developer to build and deliver a complex and feature-rich Drupal 7 installation, including the design of a customized responsive theme, and migration of content from our existing Drupal 6 site.

The deadline for proposals is 3:00pm CDT on Wednesday, September 16, 2015.

Hey Everyone,

I am hosting a Drupal Meetup once a month in Bloomington/Normal.

The first meetup is this Tuesday the 26th at 6:30pm.

I plan to have it on the 4th Tuesday of each month as long as that works for most people.

Come one come all!

Hey Cincinnati Gang, cross-post to Chicago gang...
Doug Vann here. I head up the Indiana group at groups.drupal.org/indiana Myself and 6 of our group just had a blast over at the www.drupalcampchicago.org While there the topic was raised that the midwest Drupalers need to unite and work together.
I'd like to check out one of your meetings maybe in December or January. The megabus.com can get me there non-stop round trip for anywhere from 3ドル to 20ドル depending on how early I book it. I could see who in our group would like to join me.

Are there people still interested in a Central IL DUG meet up in Peoria this month? It would need to be near the end of this month (After DrupalCampWI, at least) but I can arrange for a room at Bradley University if there's interest.

Steven Merrill and I were thinking that beyond just socializing we could cover more in-depth on the talk we're giving at DrupalCampWI about Druplash and Druplex (Drupal-powered Flash and Flex). Post back here with preferred times/dates and anything specific you want to hear about (or better yet, talk about).

Video games are also always an option.

If anyone is interested or knows anyone who might be interested, I'm trying to get a downstate user group going. It's the Central Illinois User Group at http://groups.drupal.org/central-illinois-drupal-users.

I'm still interested supporting or working together on Chicago events, too, if something more than a one hour meeting is going on. It's a bit too much to drive 2-3 hours each way for a one hour meeting :)

Don't know how many, if any, Drupal users there are downstate, but we'll see what happens :)

Welcome! I'm KarenS and I maintain a few Drupal modules, like CCK, Date, and Calendar. I'm hoping to find other Drupallers in the Central Illinois area who'd like to get together from time to time to talk Drupal. We have lots of universities in this region, so it would be great to get them involved and help develop more Drupal developers. I also hope we can put together some public events to introduce people to Drupal. If you're interested, join the group and post some info about yourself, where you live, and any ideas you have for meeting topics, places, and times.
