- SandCamp 2011 Recap (if possible): I'm not sure if I can make it to SandCamp personally but if any of you are going to SandCamp 2011 it'd be great if you could do a short presentation on what the rest of us missed)

install issues
I am still unable to install php admin on my mac laptop, so some discussion on that would be appreciated at the meeting.
Are you using MAMP or MAMP
Are you using MAMP or MAMP Pro?

MAMP includes phpMyAdmin and has it pre-configured for MAMP's non-standard MySQL port.
Insall problem on Mac Laptop
I am using MAMP. I did an internet search someone said that on a mac that has had a system upgrade, something gets messed up so that phpAdmin doesn't work on a MAMP install. If this is the case, I don't know enough to review and modify the settings. I am using Leopard.
Hmm. I just went through the
Hmm. I just went through the install process on my new Mac - here's what I did.

Mike Stewart suggested I give Quickstart ( http://drupal.org/project/quickstart ) a try when I was looking for ways to get Drupal up and running on my Mac. Quickstart is a virtual machine image and worked great. It's a complete install of Linux completely configured with just about everything a Drupal dev could want. You can just download VirtualBox (free virtualization software) and the machine image and you'll have everything up and running right away.
While I was impressed with the tech I ended up not using it for my primary work. I bought the Mac hoping to have a better experience and I found it frustrating to have Linux style shortcut keys during Drupal work then Mac style shortcut keys for other things... So I ended up just using Mac/MAMP instead of Quickstart but that's a personal decision... Still worth looking into though and I'm sure I'll still use it periodically because it's pre-configured.

Sorry to miss you this time
I will not be there tonight; need to attend something with my wife.
Sigh . . . I really wanted to show off my new t-shirt. Sandcamp was great.

Other obligation
I have to help with something at church tonight now from 7:30-8:30 so I too will be missing the meeting.
Room change
For those coming tonight we're actually meeting in the 2nd floor main conference room instead of the 1st floor space that we normally have reserved.
John & Paul - we're going to miss you guys tonight but hope to see you next time.
