Hi Hyderabadi Drupalers

It's long time we had any meetings/workshops. What else would be good than celebrating Drupal beta release and Drupal makeover site launch?

This weekend, let's have a session on Drupal 7 features (By Ipsita) and also a workshop on "How to migrate existing Blogspot/ wordpress/joomla Blogs/Websites to Drupal 7" (Bar camp style). Also we will sit and plan for Drupal 7 release party which we anticipate any moment before 2nd week of November.

If anyone else is interested in presenting in context to "Drupal 7" please post that in the comments.

Session Report

siva_epari's picture

Hi Hyderabadi Drupalers

I wrongly posted the session report in the wrong thread. Hence i am reposting at the correct place:

The session on Drupal 7 went great and we had a good amount of audience. Ipsita, Siva, Shivakrishna, Harikrishna, Asiq, Sashi kiran, Ravi kiran, Viswanath, Rahimanuddin, Asif, Praveena, Asif Mohd., Kashyap, Ram rudra, Santosh.

Ipsita walked us through Drupal 7 features and gave us a insight on how the interface has been revamped. Also she took a leap to discuss performance aspects and enhancements in the new version. Siva gave a quick comparison between Drupal 7 and Wordpress 3. It was followed up by a discussion about existing blogging platforms.

I forgot to announce about the Drupal release party. So all of you people are welcome to the Drupal release party which is around the corner. Probable date is November 7th or the next week. Date will be declared soon.
