Freelance Drupal Developer | Exstatic Media

Employment type: 
Contract
Telecommute: 
Allowed

Hi all,

We are after a drupal freelancer to work with us on an 'ad-hoc' basis for a number of our long term clients, who occasionally need changes, fixes or updates to their existing Drupal sites.

We are ideally looking for a developer who has experience in the following;

  • Drupal Development (of course)
  • Ubercart
  • PHP/MySQL
  • HTML / CSS
  • Payment Integrations

While this role may primarily start out as a freelance Drupal role, if your skills are a good match to other areas of our business we may use you in that as well, such as PHP/MySQL, Wordpress, and API integration.

Drupal Beginner, with some opportunity for mentoring. | A Melbourne Design Firm.

Employment type: 
Contract
Telecommute: 
Not allowed

A role is being created in a local (Melbourne) design agency for a "Drupal Beginner".

I chatted with the creative director yesterday. They have some Drupal sites under their belt. They have a 4-year experienced Drupal developer in-house. That guy's time is pretty fully booked, and he will be out of office significantly in the coming months.

They will possibly bring in a consultant to help them ramp up their Drupal exposure and increase the strength of their 'communication vectors' with the local community. The consultant role would be mine.

Drupal Developer - Sydney | Catalyst IT

Employment type: 
Full time
Telecommute: 
Not allowed

Catalyst is looking for a Drupal developer for our Sydney office. This position is open both Drupal ninja's and newbies alike.

Main thing is that you are passionate, clever and keen on working with a great team of devs here in our central Sydney office. We do more than Drupal, but at least to begin with, you'd be working on Drupal projects.

This is the permanent position and we require that our team generally come to the office during work hours, although there can be some flexibility on remote work based on the right circumstances.

Drupal and Postgres for complex search site

· · · ·

I am new to the group but a long time developer of CMS usually based on PHP/MySQL.

I have a new project to manage, which is going to need to be driven by a postgres database due to a second process running on the same database.

The site will require all of the below and many smaller attributes and I need to know whether there are suitable developers who can work this out with a Drupal/Postgres build or whether this is better developed outside of an existing CMS such as Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla et al as a bespoke CMS project based on a postgres database.

In the Australian Drupalsphere - Musings from a seven year old community member.

In the Drupalsphere, as we iteratively and creatively work together over long spans of time to define and deliver "The Way Drupal Does Things" (whether in that context "Drupal " refers to the software or the community), there is a constant and necessary tension between the 'keepers of what has come before' and those who see and present perhaps dimly a vision of what could possibly become the next API or Community process.

We have got so far as we have in the last decade because of the handshaking that goes on between those who offer their contributions at those two foci.

You view on what IDE your using to develop Drupal module.

In the recent past we moved over to Macs I've been using Textmate or Drupal and PHP dev, but recently ran into a Drupal developer using NetBeans and as I use Visual Studio for .Net dev, I thought Netbeans was very good, but as I look around there are other IDEs out there with Drupal support that appear to offer the same level of functionality but executed in different ways.

So without getting in to a war I am interesting in hearing your experiences with, and your view on various IDEs.

Thanks

Ideas for Melbourne Meetups

Our meetups only work with input from you! Without input from the community we will quickly run out of interesting topics, and get bored by having the same presenters all the time.

With that in mind we'd love to see as many of you as possible proposing your own presentations, and topics you would like to see a presentation about!!

Please leave sufficient details for us to contact you and confirm your availability to present.

Presentation:

eg. Custom Formatters (by Stuart Clark) <- you proposed to present, awesome!
