Structure 08 is a conference developed by award winning technology writer Om Malik. Structure 08 is created to inform businesses so they can plan their future computing infrastructure needs. With a uniquely privileged vantage brought by our industry-leading speakers and their deep insight, Structure 08 will allow our audience to filter the new technology explosion and determine the right choices. We will highlight the best implementations, case studies, ideas and startups.

Cloud Computing: Infrastructure for Entrepreneurs

Note: the May meetup will be held at Berkman Center as usual.

The June meetup of our beloved Boston group will meet at new location in Harvard Square. We will be hosted by the Harvard Stem Cell Institute at 42 Church Street, above the Border Cafe. There is an enclave past the front door of Borders on the Church Street side, and it says Harvard Stem Cell Institute on the door. Maureen Lyons be there to let people in. If folks are late they will have to call up using the dialog bog next to the door.

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

So the June Meetup is just around the corner. It will be held from 6 to 9pm at Mansueto,
7 World Trade Center / 250 Greenwich St., 29th Fl..

You must sign-up by 3pm June 24th to attend. Please click the sign-up button and make sure that you have your real name in your profile.

In honor of the recent conference call about improving the organization of local groups we should probably touch on the highlights of that.

Also, Joomla developer Anthony Ferrara has been talking with Oleg and offered to give a presentation about how Joomla works. While I'm a little concerned about the need to hire extra security to protect poor Anthony from the slings and arrows of Joomla haters, I do recognize that many people are interested in learning about the similarities and differences between Drupal and other content management systems. A poll has been posted here. Please vote.

Post comments on all other topics that you would like to present or discuss and we'll add them to the agenda.

We will be having the next Washington DC Drupal Lab on June 25th from 7 to 9pm. Like usual it is the last Wednesday of the month, and like usual it will be at Affinity Lab in Adams Morgan. The lab is located at 2451 18th St NW in Adams Morgan, and the entrance is to the right of The Diner.

Your Drupal site probably has users. Those users are probably doing interesting stuff. Every time they log in, participate in a forum, make a donation, or contact you or someone else; your users are telling you something about themselves. You want to know more about who they are and what they're interested in, and maybe you even want to contact them and ask them to give you some money, business, or time.
