Is there an interest for a meetup in February?

Potential topics that interest me:

I hope to bring in two new books I have on order (both in shipment):

Pro Drupal 7 Development (Third Edition)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430228385/ref=oss_product

Drupal 7 Module Development
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1849511160/ref=oss_product

The Artengine Lab space is available for us to use.

re: february meeting

I would be up for a February meeting.

Multilingual in D7 or Git or Features (the module) would be great topics IMHO...

Git

I can do a Git one, but it's doubtful that I can make it this time around. How about the one after? Someone else can do a D7 one this time.

Would come visit for this

Hey, I'm new to Montréal but I often visit Ottawa when I'm traveling.

I would consider traveling to Ottawa for a meetup... especially for a talk about multilingual stuff. I am currently working on some translation issues with Ubercart. I have had about 2 years of experience working with Ubercart and the translation engine and yet I still encounter new issues/challenges on a regular basis. It would be great to share insights on the topic.

I'm very new to D7 (first install Tuesday) so most of my knowledge is D5 and D6 related.

Sounds great and I'l see ya

Sounds great and I'l see ya all there. I'm using subversion now and just did my first import of drupal into it from my eclipse/ganymede install on windows and checking it out with eclispe/helios installed on freebsd.

My windows setup works great but I can't use drush inside any eclipse platform on a windows system.

I'm hoping to get svn working on eclipse/helios/freebsd before I go to sleep tonight. And maybe have drush working in it by tomorrow.

Anyways I'll be plugin away at modules for Drupal any day now and hope I'll be able to answer a few questions about it that anyone might want to know.

Ask for meetup info

Thanks

Hi Peijun,

Is Health Canada's Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) using Drupal or is there another NHPD?

I think it's going to be at http://www.artscourt.ca thanks to Michael but I'm not clear if we've set a time.

So, would be good to get some clarification on that for sure.

HI, Yes, you are right. We

HI,

Yes, you are right. We are Natural Health Products Directorate.

When Colan was here months ago, he set up Drupal on our servers, but never use it.

I am developing a data entry tool with Drupal 6. The project is almost done.

I have learned Drupal and PHP by myself in past 6 months. I would like to learn more (and advanced) drupal skills from you through the meetups and other channels.

By the way, I would be happy to introduce what I have done to you.

I am looking forward to the meetup,

Thanks,

peijun

February 7th

Peijun,

Will you be attending the meet-up on February 7th? I'd like to see what you've been working on. If you could do a presentation then, it would be great!

February 7th

Hi Colan,

Yes. I will make it.

I would like to talk briefly what I have done if I can. Please let me know how long I will have.

Thanks,

peijun

As long as you like

colan's picture

These meet-ups are relatively informal. You may talk as long as you like, or until we get bored. :) We can discuss and ask questions after. If there's more time after that, we can change the topic to something else.

Talk format

peijun's picture

We just 'talk' or we use other media tools, such as slides, computer demo?

Screen & projector

There's a big screen & projector. You should be able to hook up your laptop to it - this is what others have done in the past.

monday's

liquidcms's picture

in the past we have usually shot for the 1st (or is it 2nd) Monday of the month... which would then be not next week but the Monday after. I'd be there if we pick a date... maybe not a bad idea to have one as as March's meeting will likely be out as many of us (ok, well at least 3 regulars) will be at Drupalcon.

Drupal Meetup - for February 2011?

mlecha's picture

Ok. I'll create a meetup for Monday February 7th 2011 at Artengine's M70 Lab in Arts Court.

The topic is still open to volunteer presenters. Drupal 7 would seem à propos, but there are a lot of online overview videos available to review what's new in D7. However, I'm open to what ever works for the majority.

I'd take colan up on the Git demo for the next meetup.

+1 for Git

liquidcms's picture

yup, i'd be up for a Git demo.. since i guess i'll need to know it soon enough as d.o switches over.. grrr..
