Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, April 2012

The first post-DrupalCon meetup in Denver had a great turnout. Many new people, hungry for more Drupal. And pizza. Our pizza vendor kindly threw in an extra pizza to thank us for ordering so much. And the local Drupalistas rose to the challenge and ate it all. We ate it up.

OpenAid: A Drupal Distribution for NGOs and Non-Profits

Today we published the first recommended release for OpenAid, a Drupal 7 distribution created to help non-profits, NGOs, and international development projects create program-focused websites quickly. The platform provides simple, baseline features commonly needed in the field of international development -- including home page image carousels, multi-author blogs, project profiles, mapping, image galleries, a basic responsive theme, and more. You can download the code, give feedback on OpenAid’s features, and contribute to the project at http://drupal.org/project/openaid.

DrupalCon Denver: Aten's Highlights

Last week the annual North American DrupalCon was held here in Denver. The Aten team was involved with DruplaCon Denver in a variety of ways last week and the months leading up to the event.

Aten Design Group was chosen by the Drupal Association as the design lead for DrupalCon Denver. We worked with the local community to create the branding, website design, and over one hundred other assets, including signs, banners, badglets and presentation templates.

OMG IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!

Forgive us; it's hard to contain the excitement: DrupalCon Denver is less than a week away. That's right -- less than a week until the sessions, the BoFs, the parties, the reconnecting with old friends, the making of new friends, exploring business opportunities, seeing the next big Drupal thing... did we mention the parties? It's going to be great.

To celebrate, we're giving away a Denver-made Never Summer snowboard, and hosting a little soiree in our offices Wednesday night. Interested? Please read on...

A Great Mobile Conference, plus Drupal

DrupalCon Denver is a Matryoshka doll. Ostensibly a Drupal conference, hidden inside you'll find several smaller conferences. We call them "tracks," but they really are full conferences. You could show up at DrupalCon, attend only one track, and get more than you get at most single-topic conferences for a fraction of the price. As co-chair for the Mobile track at DrupalCon along with Todd Nienkerk, I've been involved with making sure we have the best possible sessions focused on mobile within the wider conference.

Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, February 2012

This month's Denver meetup started out bleak, lacking food, drink, and one of our presenters. But we persevered and ended the night full of food, drink, and new Drupal knowledge. It was a lot like Oregon Trail. Without the dysentery.

Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, January 2012

It has to be said that the January Denver Drupal meetup was a far more interesting live television broadcast than the President's State of the Union address. We didn't have nearly as many viewers or inspire a drinking game, but we also did not have any bitter partisan politics characterized by half of the audience applauding random statements while the other half made disapproving facial expressions.

OpenLayers Plus

OpenLayers is a powerful mapping framework that allows you to create beautiful maps in a short amount of time. Recently, we have been working on an OpenLayers map for a client that requested "density circles," or a way to visually show concentration of projects within a region. I remembered Alan Palazzolo mentioning a project called "OpenLayers Plus" during his session at BadCamp back in the fall.

Drupal Webstocks and Drupal 8 Release Date Lottery

About 6 months ago, I made a game for the Drupal community. I announced it in the local Colorado Drupal community and some other random people have somehow found out about it, but it's still pretty small, and I should have extended an invitation to the wider community long ago. Better late then never.
