It's a hack-a-thon of sorts for those not in the know.

Details at: http://web608.org/events/2009/10/15/milwaukeedevhouse4

For those on the MadLUG list, I suggest you hop on the Web608 list to
discuss carpooling (or just ask me) as I'm sure several people from
Web608 will be making the trip over to MKE.

I have a possible trip coming up around the same time, but if that doesn't happen then I am also in for the carpooling :)

Thanks,
Farhan

Since this is tomorrow, everybody should know what they are doing now.
My car is small, but otherwise, I don't mind driving. Louie, Abraham
and Farhan will be tight, but we can probably make that work.

I plan to go, but I'm unable to provide any carpooling (bringing some siblings home from college at the same time).

See some of you there?

To those going: Any ideas of what you'll be doing/working on?

I've got about 80 photos to edit, and also need to batch process a few
hundred images for a web site, I may attempt to build a ringflash with
Sam Dodge, and really need to read up on using WordPress as a CMS. If
there's time, get back into using Xcode a bit, as it's been a while...

I had been planning on writing my novel for National Novel Writing
Month, but I've all but given up on that.

I might do some statistics because I'm behind in my class.

I plan on talking to Pete about doing a open culture event potentially
in the spring (whenever he thinks he might be able to provide an
awesome venue and we have adequate time to promote).

I plan on giving out professionally printed Ubuntu CDs to anyone that
needs one, though I'll hope like at BarCampMKE that only though that
have trouble downloading and burning their own disk take one...or if
they know someone that could make good use of it.

I might also hit up the Ubuntu forums a bit and help the n00bs...all
from a laptop that has Fedora installed. Yes, I'm a double agent. I
would be happy, of course, to help people with their Linux struggles
in person too. I know, in person. Crazy!

Yeah, I'd actually like to see how you do this... Are you using a
WYSIWYG editor, or attaching an image to a node or...?

Or I can ask you when you're actually doing it. :)

I might also want to do a re-install of Linux on my Eee PC... probably
re-do Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

Can you automatically set up navigation between galleries and individual
images? Are you also using Views as the gallery structure? I like the
idea of using filefield. I've had that thing laying around wondering
what to do with it. :) Though I have to say I am anticipating Drupal 7
to provide some boat rocking, either good or bad, in regards to image
handling. Fingers crossed. Looking forward to seeing what you put together!

I shouldn't bug people on the list too much about this, but they've
disabled screen switching in the remix, I believe. That was buggy in
9.04 anyway. Something to be aware of before going all in. Ping me
off-list if that's a show-stopper and I can get some more info on the
issue. I have one guy at work wanting to use the netbook remix and I
think the screen-switching was a show-stopper for him.

The eee PC has no CD drive, right? USB install?

Arguments are the key for related pictures. Views is the answer to
all. imagemagik for some glue.
With fields and files moving to core in 7, using file field in 6 will
make upgrades much easier and are today's best practice in 6. And the
insert module glues it with WYSIWYG.

It's running it now but I can't update (disk is full) so considering a
re-install.

What do you mean by 'screen switching' exacty?

We just had this demo at the MadDUG meeting last night...
http://groups.drupal.org/node/33710

If you're looking to do a gallery structure with Views, this is pretty
handy (easy, flexible, powerful):
