Anyone headed to DrupalCon Portland?

Bike Geek's meeting Thursday evening (tomorrow, 2012.01.17) at Todd Gee's place (Logan Sq).  Plan includes pizza/beer and real action on finally upgrading the ChicagoCriticalMass.org site.

Primary objective: ChicagoCriticalMass.org hasn’t allowed submissions (such as maps) from new users in a year due to spambots.  We need to add captcha, which requires core Drupal update.

I wrote a big detailed plan, but Mr. Gee suggested upgrading through successive versions would be onerous, and Mr. Lane suggested that some major elements (such as ride reviews) are obsolete anyway.

1. I think we’re looking at re-implementing as stock current Drupal, contemporary blog style.  Lane and Gee are template shopping.
2. Then Mr. Gee plans to reimport historic content (and users?).
3. I suggested moving oldsite content into the CMS.  Mr. Lane volunteered to curate.

The DB dump question is EXACTLY the issue that I and others have been talking with Julie about for years.  The idea of not being able to snag and archive all one's data is foreign to me.  I think their most valid argument is ultimately one can't export the users, which are Ning's.  I ran a Ning site years ago, and it was not available.  They may have changed some since then.  And there are now scrapers available.

I used to go on and on to Julie about that TCL's feature set is fine, and that my only gripe was the data ownership.  But now I've softened some, and see Ning as reasonably priced and works, and my backup worries a tad neurotic.  Looking forward though, Julie's future hopes may require moving off Ning (how does one add features otherwise?), so that may still be a key question.  I'd be interested in seeing some similar migration stories from the field.

I'm thinking maybe we should break out some separate sub-forums here for major topics, such as TCL.

Does ning allow access to the db dumps of sites they run?

I just sent another batch of invites.  I think that's everyone I know who's IT/IS.
Please y'all, invite others I've missed. I'm sure there's another several, like marauder Ross.  Though I'm pretty happy there's 16 now!

As stated, let this be the group for comm among local cyclist IT/IS pros.  NOT just Drupal (though I'm fan), there's also immediate food for action in areas such as UX design, mobile apps, and alternate CMS's.  Yay!

I'd think to message the group such notes, but I presume anyone who wants that volume can set follow (It may no longer be TCL's default), and Ning tells me messages may be blocked because the group description contains the word "urgent" HA!

I just got this today...It's cheap, and good for people that want to learn about Drupal. If you look under the Sessions - Proposed Sessions tab, you may be able to pick what happens in one of the four areas.
