Dear anyone:

We need a little help with the Wiki - I have all the posts moved over, but there are two tasks yet remaining.

1. Copying the timestamps from the old wiki posts' creation dates to the new ones. Call me detail-oriented, but I'd like to see that happen.
2. Creating an .htaccess file in the old wiki subdomain with a bunch of 'redirect permanent' lines to all the new wiki pages. This is a simple yet tedious task. If you'd like FTP access, email me via the sitewide contact form.

The idea here is that we can reproduce all of the features of Meetup.com and Google Groups in about an hour using a couple of off-the-shelf open source tools, like Drupal with the Organic Groups module installed.

I just did a really quick setup at FloridaCreatives.com/community - nothing fancy yet, but groups are turned on, so once you register you can create any group you like and ask your friends to join.

Today at BarCamp I suggested we create a "secret" handshake for Florida Creatives members or people who are involved in the local community.

Here are some suggestions: hugs, peace sign, hang loose, three-fingered wave, etc.

Every month, tons of events happen in Orlando. We post lots of them on this site, and sometimes people attend. This month, our group or our members are planning some cool things:

• Florida Creatives @ Enzian FilmSLAM (2008/03/09)

Today a friend of mine sent me an email asking him to help him find some resources (like money) for a film project he's working on. I thought, as I often do, that the best way to chase down opportunities like making money is to get involved with the community. Therefore, I got him in touch with several film types, and pointed him to some film resources with a brief explanation of why he should get involved.
