IDE and Debugger
Help. I pretty much wasted the weekend away trying to get an IDE (any IDE) and debugger (any debugger that works) setup for my local Drupal dev environment.
Tried Eclipse (even bought a PackT ebook on the subject) in many forms... PDT, PHPEclipse, others. Tried a couple debug options like Zend, xdebug. The IDEs work to some extent but I really need debugging and have failed on every attempt in that regard. Even tried CodeLobster (very briefly) and NetBeans. Can't get debugging to work in any of these systems. But I think I'm close on several counts.

Drupal Camp Chicago 2009

You are invited to attend Drupal Camp Chicago on Saturday and Sunday, December 12 & 13, 2009.
Who/Why:
Aegir hosting system for drupal
Hi, just saw this on the twittersphere and was intrigued. Michael, is this at all related to what you were working on a few months back?
http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system
Aegir is a set of Drupal modules that helps you maintain your Drupal sites.
It does this by providing you with a simple Drupal based hosting front end for your entire network of sites. To deploy a new site you simply have to create a new Site node. To backup or upgrade sites, you simply manage your site nodes as you would any other node.
What do I need to run Aegir?

Hello Michael,
php / performance specialist, well known author at dsm webgeeks on Monday
John VanDyk, well known author of "Drupal Professional Development" and international speaker will be at "Des Moines Web Geeks" on Monday, Sept 21st, speaking about server side performance. There will be something for all skill levels so if you'd like to learn how to make your web apps run faster this is an excellent time to check out the group.
We'll also be celebrating our one year anniversary as a group and I have some gifts to give away! Apress gave me a few books to hand out at the meeting.
What's your daily Drupal reading list?
I'm curious how everybody keeps up-to-date with Drupal news and developments. Here's a partial list of my feeds.
The Planet Drupal aggregator.
New modules.
Twitter search for "drupal." Obnoxious volume but entertaining to skim.
Post installation support forum. Helping people is good for your karma. And educational.
Iowa Drupal Users group meeting - 28Sep2009 - Views Bulk Operations
I have used View Bulk Operations regularly. You can make a very powerful dashboard with out too much effort. I usually use it with Workflow, Triggers, Actions, Rules, ..... So this discussion will quickly bleed into all realms of workflows and state machines.

Please do bring your own agenda, questions, answers and friends.
Please update the Proposed Meeting Topics with your suggestions.
