A new venture: Farm of Art & Community Technology

With all of the goings-on of the Drupal Open Garden Project it is becoming clear that there is a movement of garden & food geeks. We care a lot about combining our technology passions with those of our interest in interacting with the real physical world, our cities, and neighbors.

Learning about the Hayes Valley Farm has shown to me that these kinds of urban agricultural spaces are possible, and it's the learning and interacting that are so amazing.

Website updated finally, to go with my new freelancin' life

Submitted by chacha on Sun, 2009-08-09 02:21

Recent changes to my website.

Updated my website. It is funny how badly my own website can be neglected. Since I recently quit working at the Science Museum of Minnesota, I decided to take this opportunity to make some changes. * Renamed the site from artmess.org to my old domain name, chachaville.com * Reorganized the content a little bit as it appears that this site is becoming more of an article-based blog. * Starting to put more images & stories behind the projects I have worked on.

pimped our dashboard

 

We (myself and courtney miller) finally launched a little dashboard feature for http://nisenet.org We have a lot of content types - and they are grouped in certain sets of types of content types. So, I made a themer-friendly dashboard module. You can see it has lists of links/shortcuts. Also, there are tabs of views made for the users, right now 2 of them -- their content and their comments. THAT uses the tabs module, which rules.

New theme released for Omeka 0.9

Submitted by chacha on Tue, 2008-11-04 15:29

 

Here is a theme I worked on for the Omeka platform in conjunction with UC Berkeley's Open Knowledge and the Public Interest department, with Noah Wittman. This theme will make it a lot easier for people with less web experience (or less time) to create a visually rich web experience. It was totally fun to work on!

A few weeks ago, I attended a code sprint. This code sprint had the goal of enhancing Drupal taxonomy (core and contributed) modules in a way that will make it possible for scientists to import massive quantities of taxonomic information about all of the different species on this planet.

 

I would like to share this experience of group module development, especially with DrupalChix! So I wrote this article
