The kernel of my home office

Okay, I haven't been involved in organizing Drupal Camp TO since 2008, and last year it didn't even happen, but I'm delighted to report that it appears that a new crop of organizers are really, really making it happen this year. So, pencil it in for October 15 - 16, 2010. Once there's a site up, it should be accessible here: http://2010.drupalcamptoronto.org (but meanwhile it's still showing our 2008 camp ...).

While I'm at it, here's a short update on a few of my projects: I finished the intranet portion of SHARE 's website, which included a neat custom module that mashes up the signup module with CiviCRM and organic groups. I'm almost finished with The Tyee , an excellent alternative on-line news source in Vancouver. My work with them began with a module, still to be released, that integrates bricolage and drupal. That work went live in January and shortly after we migrated the site to a new server at Gossamer Threads who I can't recommend too highly. My latest task has been to finish off a module that allows for comment rating, it should be live by mid-April. I developed a custom Drupal module Peek which allows a drupal site user to provide sneek peeks to content on a drupal site that is otherwise protected. I mashed up gmaps and Civicrm as ...
