Tuesday, January 9 2007

Lots of people may be away in early January, but for those of you that aren't, we will be at the Railway on the second Tuesday for another Drupal informal night meetup. All past meetups have included lively discussions and sharing of tips and tricks so join us if you can on 9 January 2007 at 6:30 .

Venue: Railway Pub, South Melbourne, 280 Ferrars Street at the corner of Ferrars and Bank Streets. Google map link

I'd love to explore some ideas with the group about the Lullabot seminar discussions and other Drupal training / promotional efforts. I'd also like to see a walk-through of Drupal 5 and decide if it's now time to upgrade our existing 4.7 sites. Or, we can just shoot the breeze and enjoy the holiday spirit. :-)

The Boston users group is meeting for the fifth time. Here is our topic:

Making applications with module mashups: Online Classifieds

One of Drupal's core strengths is the ability to combine multiple modules in various ways to create new functionality. Barry Jaspan will discuss how he implemented commerce-enabled Classified Ads in Drupal by integrating the CCK, Views, Actions, Scheduled Actions, Workflow, and E-Commerce modules along with a bit of custom code. Barry is a Drupal developer located in Boston, MA.

We will be hosted by Erica George at the Berkman Center at Harvard University. We are meeting upstairs in the Berkman Conference Room

After the meetup, some of us will likely continue the conversation over dinner at a local restaurant.

Come join us for a planning session for the next iteration of DrupalCampToronto. Anyone (and everyone) interested in helping out planning, arranging, etc. is welcome!

Time: 6 - 8 pm Tuesday, January 9th
