Happy new year to all. Just over two years ago we started the Jackson Drupal Users Group. So far we have had a handful of meetings, but nothing very successful. I think its time to change that, so in 2009 I think we should all pull together and try to get a Great Jackson group going.

Here are my ideas to get a good group established. I'd like to hear your thoughts, ideas, and snide remarks.

Dug Song contacted us about ArbCamp 2008 this year and asked us to put the word out. Questions regarding this event should be directed to arbcamp08@a2geeks.org.

Join us the evening of December 18, 2008 at SPARK Central for ArbCamp 2008!

http://a2geeks.org/display/geek/ArbCamp+08

ArbCamp is an unconference for Ann Arbor geeks of all stripes (tech,
art, music, science, biz, etc.), an informal meeting where the
schedule is built by its participants. All are invited for an evening
of intense knowledge-sharing and community - our goal is to introduce

This event has now passed. Thanks for all who attended!

Come join us for a totally free Drupal 6 theming workshop. This casual training will walk through building a Drupal 6 theme from scratch, start to finish.

Your group leader will be building a basic theme for a company website based off a Photoshop mockup. He will build the theme and talk about what he's doing and why he's doing it. You can ask basic questions along the way but, due to the compressed timeline of the workshop, we won't stop the workflow to answer anything extremely complex (or go off in directions that don't pertain to the theme being built).

We aren't providing any food/snacks, etc so bring your own. We will have wireless assuming everything goes as planned. However, we cannot promise that the wireless will be functioning.

Hope to see you there!

We are going to have another Jackson meetup at the Hunt Club in Jackson. Come join us, share your experiences, ideas, and news on Drupal, or just geek stuff in general.
