I gave a presentation on Panels 2 at the January Berkeley Drupal Users group. We got a lively discussion going, and Chris from Gravitek Labs demoed some sites they have been working on that leverage Panels.

Greetings Bay Area Druplers,

Our next meeting will be THURSDAY, September 27th, Noon-1:30 at 290 HMMB, UC Berkeley (note the change of day from our usual Wednesday time slot)

This month - Developing Drupal Sites at UC Berkeley.

Rob and Tracy, from Quiddities are going to talk about the sites they have developed at UCB (including the "College of Arts and Science":http://ls.berkeley.edu), the trials and tribulations of Drupal and the campus bureaucracy, and the CalNet authentication module they have been developing.

Also, "BADCamp '07":http://badcamp07.org is coming! Are you ready?

This month's topic: Image handling in Drupal.

This is a pretty meaty topic. I would like to at least touch on:

* An overview of Drupal file handling
* Images as nodes vs images as CCK fields
* The joys of imagecache.
* IMCE vs img_assist

So, this is the perfect time to bring your questions about images, and your favorite image handling module or strategy to share.

CivicActions will be bringing pizza (yay!)

The first Berkeley Drupal Users Group was a success, so it looks like we are on for monthly meetings. The big change is that we are moving from the evenings to lunch time, so more on-campus staff can be there.

I have also created a new website to support the group: http://druapl.citris-uc.org

The next meeting is:
Wed May 23rd, 12-1:30pm, on the UC Berkeley campus.
