10 Websites I have assisted in or fully Developed/Designed/Host
cdmug.org
I organize the Chicago Drupal Meet Up Group and host monthly events. The group currently has 100+ members between our 3 web sites, but only draws 7 – 15 members, on average, each monthly meet up. The environment is very open – we discuss ideas, debug problems, and brainstorm current personal or client Drupal projects. (ie: what module would work best to solve this need? etc.)
citizenpowered.org
Citizenpowered.org is a website that I volunteered some time during design stages. Sponsored by the Chicago Major's office, this website ended up with large amounts of funding for full development.
djnategonzogans.com
Dj Nate Gonzo Gans is a friend of mine who spins house music. I created and host his web site. In return in get into clubs and enjoy free drinks :)
drupal.org/Chicago
Groups @ Drupal.org is the CDMUG's presence on the official Drupal web site. This is a great resource for finding talented developers within your area. Many will work on a personal level and meet in person to discuss your needs.
groupcconsulting.com
Group C Consulting is the fake company my group started during our senior project class at De Paul University. We competed against 3 other fake consulting teams trying to win bids for proposal on multimillion dollar deals.
lechleider.com
Lechleider.com is my personal eportfolio, web space, email, ftp, unlimited hosting, etc. Lechleider.com was the first email/web server I ever configured.
lmservers.com
LMServers is a web hosting company that I run with a friend. After learning how easy it was to run hosting services for lechleider.com. I quickly started charging clients for my services. I specialize in hosting open source server side software. Contact me and see if I can provide a hosting solution for you. I can provide shared, dedicated, virtual, and/or collocated servers out of Forth Worth Texas within the Savvis data center. I include free nightly backup of all data with all hosting solutions for my own piece of mind.
drupal.meetup.com/1
Meetup.com is the best way to advertise CDMUG.org. I pay a $20 monthly fee to organize the group, but it is well worth it. Meetup.com provides on average 5 new users each month.
support.onshore.net
Support.onshore.net is my Drupal masterpiece. I have worked at onShore providing residential Internet connections and support for over two years. After telling thousands of people how to configure outlook express, I created support.onshore.net. It is a wiki based documentation system that any employee at onshore can update. Over time I have added functionality such as online chat, trouble ticket submission, and 0 second virus updates.
One day this will be a full community web site sharing geographically
tagged content with a Drupal CMS back-end. The general idea is similar
to social bookmarking communities with registered members getting
access to thousands of hours of other peoples contributions and can
share their own suggestions. However, instead of sharing bookmarked
links to websites users share links to places on a map. By calling
upon other users experiences, its possible to spend less time
searching for places, people, and entertainment nearby and more time
discovering *stuff* nearby thru a geo-network of Social Placemarks.
I have never gotten paid to work on this site, but have put in MANY
hours. This website integrated Adobe's new flex product which has many
flash elements built in as well. Also this application is being built
on open APIs so that developers can build all kinds of applications
that center around location via the TourSheet.com Social Placemarking
SDK.
