a2Drupal Monthly Meeting - New nodes vs new node fields
This month we are going to be doing general group Q/A.
If you have a question you'd like addressed, post a comment and I'll amend this node to reflect the queue so we can all be thinking about them ahead of time (or at least have a register of q's).

September Meeting
Hey everyone,
Just writing to confirm that there is a meeting tonight. I have just heard back from the folks we were hoping to have present and it turns out that there was a miscommunication and they are out of the country! So unless we would like to all take a quick flight out of the country to visit them, it looks like we will be inventing a topic as we go and doing Q and A.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Drupal book recommendations?
I have had a couple people request book recommendations for Drupal recently. This is for Drupal 6, but do you have any you prefer? I was surprised how many now exist.
The last one I purchased was early 2008, the Pro Drupal Development for 5.x from John K. VanDyk. That is the only one I've purchased, so I don't have anything to compare to, but I found it to be helpful. I don't have a lot of time to keep up with my drupal dev skills, so I get rusty and it serves as a more of a reference book for me than anything.
a2Drupal Monthly Meeting - High Performance Systems
a2Drupal, it's about that time again--our monthly meet-up is scheduled for Monday, August 31. Same time, same place:
7:00pm at Spark Central (about Spark: http://www.annarborusa.org/)
Last month, we had a great meeting where Valerio talked about Drush. At that time, there was an overwhelming request for the next topic, so the market has spoken. I'll be presenting on scalability and high performance systems!

It is rapidly approaching the last Monday in July--scary, huh? You know what this means!

While no hard topic is set yet, feel free to come with your ideas or post them as a comment to this thread. For starter ideas, feel free to check out the list of possible topics (http://groups.drupal.org/node/19315) and pick an interesting one.

Metro Detroit Drupal Group Meeting at Oakland Univ. Tuesday 7/14/09 6pm.
We will be having our very first gathering as a monthly Metro Detroit Drupal Group, at Oakland Univ. on Tuesday July 14, 2009.
Time: 6 pm
Room: Elliot Hall 234
Campus Map: http://www.oakland.edu/map
We look forward to the beginning of an active and vibrant group. There will be Internet Access and a projector, so come share your projects and topics of discussions.
Regular Drupal Group Meeting in Troy on the 2nd Tuesday evening every month?
Since polling everybody's opinion recently, there appears to be at least 10-12 persons who are interested to meet in the Metro Detroit area. Since the Ann Arbor Drupal Group meets on the last Monday of each month, a meeting on Tuesdays during the second week of the month sounds like a terrific complement if there are folks who wish to attend both.
Please RSVP for the first gathering in the Troy area or vicinity on Tuesday July 14, 2009. If 1-2 members are willing to assist, that would be greatly appreciated.

May A2Drupal Monthly Meeting Cancelled
Hey everyone,
This is just a quick update on the results of the poll I had posted. I checked with the friendly folks over at SPARK, and they let me know that we can't do a June 1 as they already have something scheduled. The next option on the list is to just skip this month, so unless people come up with a real compelling topic/location/time, I'm canceling the May meeting and our next one will be Monday (as always) June 29.
I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Memorial day!
-Steve
