Together, let's stop the hike

The Quebec Bar Association raises serious issues about Bill 78

Prerequisites

To get the best of this tutorial, it is best to know a bit about Simpletest, Drupal 7, the command line, and applying patches. Chrome and Firefox should be installed on your computer. I tested this on Mac OS but it should work on Linux. Going through it all might take you about an hour. You should do all of it on your laptop (using MAMP or Quickstart, rather than a remote server -- I have used MAMP).

Our famous training session in CSS/Drupal theming for beginners is back this spring! Our trainings are designed to introduce people of all levels to the Drupal content management system, in order to help them appropriate the latest technologies in web site management.

In this course, our lovely instructors will introduce you to the basics of the Drupal community; CSS; and the installation and configuration of Drupal themes to help you customise your website.

Places are limited: reserve yours as soon as possible!

So, why isn't Aegir at DrupalCon Denver?

I've been asked that question repeatedly over the past couple months, and so I figured I'd write up a little explanation for anyone else that's curious.

On Thursday, Koumbit will be on strike as part of the protest against tuition fee increases. We will maintain the emergency support line on that afternoon.

When: Thursday, March 22, 2012 @ 13h
Where: Place du Canada, Montreal

See you at the demonstration!

Beaucoup d'OBNL ont a traiter avec des contacts de toutes les sortes: membres, donateurs, abonnés aux listes de diffusion, clients... Afin de répondre à ce besoin, de plus en plus d'organismes utilisent un logiciel de « Gestion de la relation client » (GRC), plus connu sous l'acronyme anglais CRM («Constituent relationship management»).

Date and time: 

Friday, 3 February 2012 - 5:00pm

Koumbit's first 5@7 of 2012 focuses on an issue central to the future of the internet in Quebec and Canada: the planned adoption of bill C-52 (AKA "Legal Access"), proposed by the Conservative party.

At DrupalCamp NYC last Saturday, I gave a session on data migration using Feeds and Migrate 2.x called Getting your data into Drupal. The session slides and screenshots of the live demo are now up at http://mvc.koumbit.org/presentations/2011-drupalcampnyc/. Enjoy!

Points covered by the talk include:

Definitive Guide to Drupal 7 has been launched at last. At over 1100 pages, this book contains all you need to know to use Drupal 7 to its full potential. The book includes contributions by thirty authors, including Koumbit's Albert Albala with a chapter on automated testing.

Comments? Leave them here.

The countdown begins! In case you forgot, Antoine, Christopher, and I are shipping off for DrupalCon London...and we fly out in less than 10 days. We're stoked to go, and we want to make the best of our time there. So, we're soliciting your help!
