Gainesville

This is a reminder that the Gainesville Meetup will be this Thursday, April 7th at the Alachua County Library District Headquarters in the Foundation Room. This month we will be working on Coding for a Cause webpage for CFCS. Please bring any reference material, computer and enthusiasm. Great opportunity for newbies to get hands on experience. A little theming, a little content type development and more. Follow the development process of the combined experience levels of the group. The new site is on Drupal 7 and uses OG, custom content types and a custom theme.

The gainesville drupal group met Thursday at the Alachua County Library for our 2 hour meetup. We had 7 people in attendance. Mike H. gave us his presentation of the 960 grid system and sub themes. He showed us how to manipulate the screen to use the grid system to display div blocks spanning multiple widths and heights. He also showed us how to change the layout from a 960 pixel grid to 1200 pixel grid and also to modify the blocks from 12 blocks to 16 blocks depending on your design. Next he showed us how to apply classes from the stylesheet with the grid layout.

Hey everyone!

I'm starting a Drupal Users Group at UF. We'll replicate the success of GatorLUG, and also offer more workshops and panel discussions/Q&A. I'd like to have a meeting either the second or third week in this upcoming Spring 09. I'm looking for Drupal enthusiasts and participants who would like to get this group off the ground. We'll need to register the organization at the students' union (I'll take care of this) and get the word out (I'd like to make a flyer that can be posted on the school billboards).
