Miami, Florida

I've been in contact with a number of people around the state regarding DrupalCamp Florida and I've had several people ask me about hotels near the event.

Perhaps someone local to the Orlando/Altamonte Springs area (whose name isn't Andrew) can step up and find a hotel near MindComet's offices and see if we can work out some sort of group rate? This would be valuable information that we can put on the web site and it might entice more people to attend and stay for both days.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Thanks,

At Saturday's most-excellent central Florida Drupal meetup, we had a discussion about what we should call day 2 of DrupalCamp. As you may or may not know, this year, we're adding a second day to DrupalCamp Florida where we're going to be building a full site for a local non-profit organization. We're going to pre-select an organization prior to the event and do some initial legwork, but 100% of the development will be done on day 2 of the camp.

Join us on Saturday, October 17, 2009 from 1-5PM for a 4-hour meetup at MindComet's offices in Altamonte Springs.

We don't have anything scheduled yet for this meetup other than DrupalCamp 2010 planning which means we should have plenty of time for some good presentations, demos, or anything else.

Hi - I just wanted to pass this along. I got a notice from the Florida Linux Group (www.flux.org) that they were having a Drupal presentation and thought it may be of interest to this group.

Thanks to everyone who came out for last night's South Florida Drupal User's meetup! It was a great turnout for your first meetup in a long time, now all that needs to be done is to build on the momentum we gained last night.

The 15+ people who attended last night seemed to really enjoy it - thanks for making Ryan and myself feel at home. One word of advice, next time DrupalEasy.com offers to buy you a beverage, you should take it - I got out of there quite inexpensively last night!

Building on the success of our classroom-based training in Los Angeles, California (US), this online course will gently introduce you to Drupal as we build a neighborhood association website. The course is presented in a series of modules that will introduce a concept, and then implement the concept in Drupal. This course is intended for individuals who have basic familiarity with building a web page or blogging; no programming experience or experience with Drupal is assumed or necessary.

The site was chosen because it is centrally located between Miami and ft. Lauderdale.

For those in the WEST PALM BEACH area, we may try doing an alternating event.

Why have all the meetups been in Miami?

For those of you in Palm Beach and Broward Counties and beyond, I'm sure you would much prefer to hold meetups much closer to home. So why haven't we held our meetups there?

The answer is quite simple: because no one has organized them there.
