We here at Redfin Solutions are proud to be Platinum sponsors of the inaugural DrupalCamp Boone. Western North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains are a thing of beauty, and we're excited to get down there and breathe in the fresh air. What better place for a giant blue drop than a Blue Ridge?

We also want to call attention to the other great sponsors obtained. For anyone new to Drupal, it's the community that makes Drupal such a powerful force in this world, and it wouldn't be possible without you.

Registration is open, so get on over to http://drupalcampboone.com and get involved!

It's been a crazy Saturday here at Redfin Solutions, what with getting a new server and immediately having at least one client to launch on it!

Redfin is happy to announce the redesign of Chapman Construction's new site at http://Chap-Con.com. The people at Chapman have been really great to work with. The design is by Jon Sachs, who we always enjoy working with. Living in the mountains of North Carolina, I'm happy to say Chapman has a very green focus, which brings out both the geek *AND* the hippie in me.

Have you ever wanted a user purchasing something from ubercart to fill out their user profile at the same time? uc_profile module allows you to do just that. This becomes especially handy if users are purchasing memberships on your site using uc_roles and you'd like to collect additional profile information from them at the same time.

Thanks to cooperation from indytechcook, the uc_profile module's original maintainer, Redfin Solutions now manages it and is looking forward to releasing improvements in the near future.

Patrick is I'm sure somewhere while all of his and Elyse's extended family brood over Madeline, their latest addition. My family was awestruck by my nephew's second Christmas. We're off to do some of that typical holiday traveling, but want to with the Drupal community and all of our clientele a happy and joyous holiday season, spent with their families or friends.

I basically grew up at summer camp, and it has without a doubt made me who I am today (just refer to the ACA's new marketing campaign "because of camp," there's a lot of things you could fill in about me!). Redfin did some pro-bono work to develop the web site at http://savebement.org, making heavy use of CiviCRM - the open source constituent relationship management software originally developed to fill the need of grassroots movements like this one.

Thanks to a design provided by Jon Sachs, Redfin was able to recently launch www.livesinthebalance.org, a site aimed at providing resources and help to children and parents who struggle with their relationships, sometimes to the point of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Collaborative Problem Solving is an approach to these unique situations, pioneered by Dr. Ross Greene.

Redfin had the pleasure of Co-Presenting with John Paul McNeal about the utility of Drupal in the camp website world. In addition to its features as a content management system, giving the camps the power to manage their own content, Drupal also has great support for integrating with the latest social media applications, such as Twitter and Facebook, via Ping.FM and directly.

Below are the slides from that presentation.

Today (Sept 19, 2009) I had the great honor of being able to present to DrupalCamp Atlanta on something that I think is a major (mostly mental) hurdle in beginning to develop for Drupal. There are a lot of developers out there, people who are familiar with PHP or other programming languages, who clearly know how to program, but don't know the right way to program for Drupal.

Redfin Solutions is proud to announce the availability of a -dev branch of code for integrating with the DOTGO SMS service.
