Our meetings in Santa Barbara have been hosted at a variety of locations, including the Java Station coffeeshop, the Las Cumbres Observatory and the Marine Science Institute and Davidson Library departments at UCSB. We're very grateful to our past and present venue sponsors and are always interested in hearing from venue sponsors for future meetups.

Topics
If you'd like to present on a topic, give a lightning talk or just ask questions of the group, please feel free to leave a comment below.
Open discussion
Everybody has a favorite module or two and we'll have a round table discussion where everyone will have a chance to share modules they like, they've written or have used to get out of a sticky situation. It's okay if you don't have any favorite modules -- if you want to, you're welcome to ask the group if a module exists that might help with a use case or problem that you're working on.
The only rule at the round table is that you can't repeat a module that someone else has already mentioned.
At the end of the meetup, the list of modules and the links to download them will be posted in the comments below for the benefit of the larger community.
Comments
There's No Module for That
I have a presentation prepared on why and how to go about building a module from scratch. It is intended to be given as a mix of presentation and round-table discussion, and will be followed by a live exercise in building a module.
This talk is intended for beginning Drupal Developers and Intermediate Site Builders thinking about getting into development work. If folks fitting that description are interested, please RSVP by clicking signup above & come on down to the place where this meetup will be held.
If we have a more advanced crowd I'll set this aside until January.
Requests: I would love it if someone with experience in Views-based Charting could give a talk on best practices. (Or at least smooth practices.)
