DrupalCamp Florida 2010 Hotel?
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,
-mike
Potential Participating Non-Profit Organization for DrupalCamp 2010
With plans for Florida DrupalCamp 2010 well underway and our discussions about building a site for a non-profit organization on Day 2 of the camp, I figured I'd create a place to start capturing all of the good ideas as well as names of potential non-profit partners for the event.
What to call day 2 of DrupalCamp Florida?
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.
Central Florida October Meetup Wrapup
Thanks to everyone to coming out for the October, 2009 Central Florida Meetup at MindComet's offices in Altamonte Springs.
We started off with a demonstration/discussion/exploration of the latest Drupal 7 development version. We took about an hour to explore all the new features. We spent a significant amount of time with the Dashboard module, fields in core, taxonomy as fields (wow), and ImageAPI in core (sweet).

Maintain the Momentum in Miami
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!
Great Restart to the Drupal Miami Meetup!
Last night we had an astounding restart to our drupal meetups. About 15 (someone correct me if they actual counted) drupalistas of all stripes were there. The cafe was very accommodating and gave us a big table in the back to do our meetup. Here's a list of the presentations. For those of you who presented, can you please add in the details?
Quickstart Introduction to Drupal Course (Online)
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.
DrupalEasy Ubercart Training in Orlando
Registration is still open for DrupalEasy’s end of summer full day workshop on the How-To of the impressive Ubercart set of modules in Orlando on August 21st.
MIAMI DRUPAL USER GROUP MEETUP

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.

Drupal meetup at Claudia's Cafe, North Miami Beach
We're very happy to be able bring Drupal meetups back to South Florida. This month's meetup will have two brief presentations:
Vince Youmans (@vyoumans) will be speaking about developing apps for the iPhone. He'll walk us through the workflow of building the apps, so you can get a taste of app building from a developer's perspective. Naturally, we'll be talking about how to tie this into a Drupal back end.
Meetup locations...
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.
MIAMI DRUPAL USER GROUP MEETUP
The site is officially booked for the 17th of august at 7:00 PM, however, you can show up at 6 as well if you wish to chat a bit.

South Florida Meetup?
I'm going to be down in South Florida in the next couple of weeks and thought I'd see if we couldn't get a Drupal meetup scheduled. With all the Drupal talent in the area, we really need to get a monthly meetup going.
How about 6PM on Monday, August 17th? Can anyone suggest a central-ish location (Boca Raton?) that might work?
