Working on, with and thanks to Drupal everyday, it seems just normal to contribute to it as much as we can. Not only Raincity Studios contribute modules, like Katherine B.'s Quicktabs, or Hostmaster (now Ægir) by the already Drupal-star Adrian, but we just submitted our fifth Drupal theme on Drupal.org called Painted Wall.

If you're in the Vancouver area on January 31st (that's one week from today!), come down to the Raincity Studios office in Gastown for a quick overview of Drupal Theming from the ground up.

This talk, organized by the Vancouver League of Drupalers, will be free to all comers (space permitting). It's starts at 6:30pm, January 31st. Full details can be found at the groups.drupal.org page for Vancouver.

Hubert Florin, Steve Krueger and I will take you from the basics to the real details. We may not complete the whole theme in the short time allotted, but the plan is to give you the best tips and resources you can use to propel yourself to Drupal Theming fluency.

Here are the bullet points:

• Creating a theme from scratch / the theme folder
• An intro to creating your own "base" theme
• Some of our favourite Themeable Functions, and how to apply others
• Theming best practices

We'll post the notes on the blog and http://groups.drupal.org/vancouver if you can't make. Hope to see you there!
