A wonderful thing happened today, I reached out to a community and they welcomed me!

Now just a few short hours later after my first post, I am confident that not only will I be able to have a beer with a few Drupal guys in Ames but it is likely that there is enough interest that a regular monthly meeting is possible. This rocks!

I wanted to re-post this as a true event so people can sign-up and see it on the calendar.

Iowa Drupal meeting
June 10, 2008 @ 7pm

Before everyone takes off to escape the heat this weekend (99 degrees already!!!), I wanted to announce that the next Drupal Meetup is scheduled for Monday, June 16th from 7:15 to about 9:00 pm.

After many months of bar hopping in search of a great place to have our monthly meetups, we can happily say we've found one: Stetsons Bar and Grill. We held last month's meetup there and it worked out fabulously - plenty of space for everyone, a private room, music control (i.e. quiet during presentations), own bartender, metro accessible, and after meetup entertainment in a foosball and pool table. And from now on, we'll have internet access too : ) If this continues to work out, we'll keep the meetups here. But please give us feedback and suggestions on other venues if you have them.

The meetup will follow the standard format of a round of five minute lightening talks followed by lots of time to get to know other Drupal developers, users, and newbies. If you'd like to present, post your topic here. I'll post a tentative agenda of presentations later next week.

Mark your calendars - Monday, June 16, at 7:15 pm. Hope to see you then!

On Upcoming here

Just wanted to remind everyone that the June Drupal Meetup is happening tonight at 7:15 pm at Stetsons. We'll be meeting at the upstairs bar - when you enter the bar, walk right up those steps and you'll see us.
