First Tallahassee Drupal Meetup = Success
Just want to report we had an awesome first Tallahassee Drupal Meetup. At The Conversation Factory in Tallahassee Florida 13 of us gathered to discuss all things Drupal. The group ranged from those evaluating Drupal for their organization to veteran programmers and geeks alike. We covered topics from installing Drupal to multisite Drupal installations, not hacking core, module awesomeness and some best practices for deployment. A huge thanks to Michael Calienes for allowing us to use his awesome space for the event.

West Coast Drupal Meetup - Sat. Nov. 14th?
I will be in Tampa the weekend of Nov. 14th and was hoping that we could get a Drupal Meet-up organized for then. Anyone know of any good meeting spaces in the Tampa - Sarasota area?
When: Saturday, November 14th, 2009 @ 1:00 pm
Where: Applebee's @ 5779 East Fowler Avenue Temple Terrace, FL 33617

DrupalCamp Florida 2010 Hotel?
I've been in contact with a number of people around the state regarding DrupalCamp Florida and I've had several people ask me about hotels near the event.
Perhaps someone local to the Orlando/Altamonte Springs area (whose name isn't Andrew) can step up and find a hotel near MindComet's offices and see if we can work out some sort of group rate? This would be valuable information that we can put on the web site and it might entice more people to attend and stay for both days.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Thanks,

Potential Participating Non-Profit Organization for DrupalCamp 2010
With plans for Florida DrupalCamp 2010 well underway and our discussions about building a site for a non-profit organization on Day 2 of the camp, I figured I'd create a place to start capturing all of the good ideas as well as names of potential non-profit partners for the event.
What to call day 2 of DrupalCamp Florida?
At Saturday's most-excellent central Florida Drupal meetup, we had a discussion about what we should call day 2 of DrupalCamp. As you may or may not know, this year, we're adding a second day to DrupalCamp Florida where we're going to be building a full site for a local non-profit organization. We're going to pre-select an organization prior to the event and do some initial legwork, but 100% of the development will be done on day 2 of the camp.

Open Source software tools are a great resource for non-profit organizations to cost-effectively connect, communicate and activate donors and members using the Internet. One of these free tools for website creation and management is Drupal, a content management system that uses a modular approach that allows organizations to easily customise their websites and use blogs, video and user content to build their communities.
