Autotrader.com Launches Drupal Car Buying Site

Aug 5, 2010

DrivenByYou.com represents a new approach to buying cars online. Traditional online car buying guides users to shop for automobiles by selecting a make, model or year as the first step of the buying process. Autotrader.com decided to take lessons learned from shoppers at brick-and-mortar auto dealerships and apply them to an online car buying experience. Realizing that most brick-and-mortar car buyers seek out local dealership offers and specials prior to selecting a make and model, Autotrader.com sought to make online car shopping easier and more intuitive. By applying the same "first step" that car shoppers normally take when shopping local dealerships in person, DrivenByYou.com facilitates a quicker method for buyers to drill down to a vehicle that's within their purchasing budget. read more »

Atlanta Drupal User Group Aug 5th Meetup - Drupal, Drinks, and Dries

Aug 2, 2010

The next meet-up of the Atlanta Drupal User Group (ADUG) welcomes a very special guest this Thursday, August 5th from 8 – 10pm EST at Gordon Biersch in downtown Atlanta. We are fortunate to have none other than Dries Buytaert the original creator of Drupal himself. There will be no formal presentation or agenda, but this free event will offer plenty of time for talking Drupal and networking. Dries and a few of his colleagues from Acquia happen to be in town for business, and they were very receptive to hanging out with the local Drupal community. We will have two billiards tables reserved and a large meeting space at our disposal. read more »

Drupalcamp Atlanta 2010 is now open for registration and will be held on Saturday, October 2nd from 8am – 5pm at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.

The 2nd annual Drupalcamp Atlanta is an attendee driven, completely volunteer initiative modeled after the open, participatory nature of barcamps. We are offering four tracks this year: (1.) Drupal for Beginners (2.) Design, Theming, and Usability (3.) Development and Performance and (4.) Drupal for Business and Services. If you are new to Drupal we definitely want you to come – in fact, during registration we have carved out space and time for a "Drupal Installfest" before the sessions start. read more »

ADUG Meetup Video Footage Now Available - Open Publish and Drupal Gardens Demos

Feb 17, 2010

We had an action packed Atlanta Drupal User Group (ADUG) meetup last week with two awesome demonstrations of emerging Drupal distributions - Open Publish, which was created by our friends at Phase2 Technology and Drupal Gardens from our partner, Acquia. We had a last minute change of plans since Phase2, who was originally going to co-present with Kent Lester, was neck deep in the Snowmageddon taking place in Washington D.C. However, it happened to work out well, and we allocated the extra time to Chuck D’Antonio, Director of Professional Services at Acquia, who was in Atlanta. read more »
