User group meeting

Though our usual meetings are first mondays, we'll be meeting a week early this month, so this precludes the March meeting.

We'll be meeting at Riverside Center for Innovation again, 700 River Ave, 15212. Click here for the map.

Lin Clark of DERI Galway will be joining us to present RDFa and the Semantic Web in Drupal 7.

We'll start at 7pm, and I can bring some food to share.

Agenda

  1. Introductions
  2. Open discussion / Q&A
  3. Lin Clark: RDFa and Semantic Web
  4. DrupalPGH.org planning / one-on-one Q/A / Speaker or topics for next month's meeting

I'm game for the meetup. I have an appointment in the Southside until 6:30, so if the meeting is before 7, I may be late/unable to attend.

Meeting venue

I am planning on being there for the meetup on the 28th. As for the venue, Tana is good for cuisine, but actual presentations may be challenging unless they have a meeting room with wireless in the back.

I'm up for anything.

I'm up for anything. Unfortunately, no meeting rooms in Tana (plus we probably wouldn't want to touch our keyboards after that ;) )

Decision Time!

As the month moves along, we need to make a decision and get the word out. Since we'll need a screen and wireless, I'm thinking conference room is a good idea this time around. Or -- maybe -- I can get some space at Istanbul (formerly Your Inner Vagabond) in Lawrenceville - Josh has a screen back there, but I'm not sure what it's hooked up to or what wireless looks like. I'll call tomorrow and ask.

In the meantime - Bruce - Is your space available for the 28th? I thought that worked out well last time, and there's room for a bigger group if attendance increases. If not, we can probably host at Elliance, or I can see about space at one of the Universities.

If we end up somewhere that's not a restaurant, we'll order some food in. Anyone vegan/gluten-free/allergies?

Agenda looks like this so far:

  • Intros
  • Informal discussion, Q&A
  • Lin presents on RDFa
    -- Q&A for Lin
  • Drupalpgh.org plenary / committee or team lead assignment
  • Closing

That should keep us more than busy. Lin - how long do you want/need for your presentation?

Does anyone have a decent DV camera and/or some mics for the presentation?

Let's try to decide by end-of-week so we can get the word out to some publications.

DV camera/mic

What is the plan for the DV camera and mics?

I usually take about 20 mins

I usually take about 20 mins for the presentation (Q&A not included). Thanks for pushing this along, Mark :)

Screen etc

I have a screen and a projector and I SWEAR I will make it this time - especially if you need my equipment.

Sorry for the delay in

Sorry for the delay in responding. I guess I wasn't subscribed to this.

I am checking on availability for the room on Monday night and will post back today with the results. Shouldn't be a problem.

If we're doing it at my office, we will need to think about refreshments, eh?

Venue?

Any luck on securing that conference room for Monday, Bruce?

I'd like to send out a confirm message today. If you can't host, we probably can, but it's a smaller room. I can take care of food.

Got it. We're all set. You

Lin, No Screen Needed

There is a big screen there all ready to plug into a laptop. I think it only has a VGA-type plug, though.

See you all there!
