We need a few good drupal crazies to work ongoing for at least 1 year.

http://www.weblance.com and www.weblance.com/blog

At least 3+ years experience is required. We are funded and looking for full time dedicated talent to be available daily. We have team meetings 2 times a week. We ask that folks just be working the same time everyday so the project manager can contact when necessary.

Please don't be confused. Although Weblance is an online freelance marketplace, we are not asking you to sign up to be a provider or user. We want to hire you directly to work for Weblance development team as an active member. You will be developing the Weblance work platform directly as a contractor. In other words, we are your client! :)

I'd like to let you know about a new Drupal 7 website released on Valentine’s Day 14 February 2012 by the State Library of Victoria.

Love and Devotion: From Persia and Beyond
http://exhibitions.slv.vic.gov.au/love-and-devotion

This website features content prepared for a temporary exhibition from 9 March – 1 July 2012. The exhibition features manuscripts from Persia, Mughal India, and Ottoman Turkey.

The website was prepared by the Business Development Services and Web teams at the State Library of Victoria in conjunction with Realityloop Pty Ltd (http://www.realityloop.com). In particular, the assistance from Brian Gilbert (http://groups.drupal.org/user/1982) was greatly appreciated.

The website features:

• Deep Zoom module (http://drupal.org/project/deepzoom) allowing closeup views of individual manuscript pages.
• Close captions for video via the JW Player module (http://drupal.org/project/jw_player) and the site features mobile friendly video via JW Player version 5.
• Glossary functionality via (http://drupal.org/project/lexicon) with a custom patch for special characters for Persian language terminology.
• Interactive timeline hosted by http://www.tiki-toki.com/
• Custom built zoomable map.

Around three quarters of State Library of Victoria web traffic is now served via Drupal, mostly through Drupal 6 sites. This exhibition site is the first Drupal 7 site built by the State Library of Victoria development team.

I’d welcome your comments and queries posted as comments on this post.

I have created a webform for the site....have following questions related to that

1) How to modify the width and height for textarea...I have disabled the Resizable option by the user option(as I don't want this option for the user)....I have read else where that if I enter Width and Height settings in the webform settings that a themes css settings can override it....If this true where should I find this file?

2) How do I get it to display the webform on one page....currently it has a brief into and then has page 1 2 3 at the bottom....

3) When the page gets published it makes itself the home page and overrides the current home page....any idea how to make it just a page not the actual home page

Cheers

thanks for the patience, understanding and on going help

We'll cover both Drupal-specific and more generic tools (on the plan: Coder Review, PHP_CodeSniffer, Drush and Jenkins).

DrupalACT is kicking off soon, with monthly meetings focussing on issues relevant to site builders, developers and Drupal people in the ACT.

We're looking for people interested in presenting, running a forum, or otherwise entertaining a bunch of people about Drupal or anything related.

Sessions are 18 minutes in length, and can be on any relevant topic. You don't have to have presented before. Vendors are welcome to suggest presentations, as long as they are on a specific topic or case study, and not a sales pitch.

Meetings will be held once a month, on the first Tuesday, and we hope there will be 2, maybe 3, sessions per meetup.

If you have something you would like to present on, please post a quick note on this thread, or send an email to chris@xtfer.com with your ideas. If possible, let us know if there are any months you wouldnt be able to present, and we'll try and schedule people in with as much lead time as possible.

We're also happy to take suggestions for talks that you might want to see...

We need a Drupal Developer to come on board on a contract basis, starting at approx 5-10 hours per week.

Approx 1-2 hours per day initially, gradually increasing with ability and availability.
This is an ongoing contract, work from home position.

You will get the opportunity to work on a wide variety of sites and a wide variety of tasks within those sites.
You will either be located on the East coast of Australia or be willing to be available for some hours inside 9am-5pm AEST. We are pretty flexible on working hours in general though.

Essential requirements:

Firm grasp of Drupal coding best practises and the ability to follow in house standards
Firm grasp on basic theming, and approx. top 20 most popular contrib modules
Some knowledge of Drupal modules, and how they tie together (including what will best solve any particular problem)
The ability to solve problems with your own intiative.
You will be able to estimate time well, communicate progress well, and flag any possible issues ahead of time (where possible).
You must be able to speak English well.

Also see http://drupal.org/node/1245650 for general requirements that we are seeking.

How to apply:

Please email drupaljobapply@gmail.com with

Location: Irish Murphys
Date: 21st of February 2012
Time: 6:30pm-8pm

Hi all,

Been a long time since we've had a meeting in Drupal and after meeting so many of you down in Melbourne last month it's a great opportunity to catch-up again!

There's a bit of a split it seems between people wanting to go to Irish murphys in the city and a library (Toowong or state). I can definately see the benefits of both but to ensure we all end up somewhere central at this stage I'd like to suggest Irish murphys since it was the previous meeting spot. One of the main items for discussion will be where we host the event going forwards so please come in and have your say on this. Want to try and do the best by the community so the more the merrier!

I'll likely con someone from go1 into doing a speech but if you have anything that you wanted to present either note below or come to the night ready to do a short talk.

If you know anyone else who is interested in Drupal, or related tech please bring them along!

Look forward to seeing you all soon.

The Lord Mayor's Community Trust (LMCT) supports charities that care for and help those in need in the Brisbane community. The trust has very strong ties with the Lord Mayor's Office within Brisbane City Council.

The Trust's web presence has been supported by the team behind the popular and now defunct Drupal website, ourbrisbane.com. I built their current site in D6 for them a couple of years ago and piggybacked its hosting alongside ourbrisbane.com's own. The ourbrisbane team, however, like the website, no longer exists.

If anyone is interested in finding out more about the LMCT and what their current needs are, please email me ... chris at chrisoneill dot info.

In case anyone has actually missed the notices about the Drupal Association voting, it closes in about 1hr.

Apologies for the shameless plug, but this is a real chance to get some Aussie presence on the board with both myself (Ryan Cross) and Donna Benjamin (KatteKrab) in the running.

Providing a voice for international Drupalers and the different perspectives on people not in north america are things that I and Donna are both passionate about.

Enough persuading - please vote http://drupal.org/node/1426814
