Head Count for Pizza
Please signup if you are coming. We need a head count for pizza order. Mike Koss offered to provide sodas. If you signup and don't want to eat pizza, leave a message.
No Pizza for me
Am coming -- no pizza for me though -- thanks!
Yes for pizza
Yes, I'll be there 11/20 and would love some pizza.

If the question is pizza, the answer is yes.
Please.

Pizza
I signed up, and I most likely will bring a guest with me. So count me as two for pizza please.
Thanks,
Robert
1 more for pizza
I wasn't sure if you still wanted people to say "yes I want pizza" or only if you signed up and then didn't want pizza. Very confusing. Anyway, I will be there and would please like some pizza.

No need to worry about
No need to worry about paying for pizza. CivicActions is covering the cost of pizza and StartPad is offering sodas. Now who wants to come to the next DUG? :)

Robin
well in that case...
I'll definitely be there... :)
I have dusted off the SCBA issue cue from the barnraising and I am investigating a place for us to do a little sprint to wrap the site up. When I can get a cool space for us I will start a new post about it.

If there is pizza there, I will eat it.
I have no will power.
Pizza and technology, they go together like peas & carrots!
So, yes, love some pizza during the 11/20 meeting. Thanks CivilActions & StartPad! See you all then...

There's a good 90% chance
There's a good 90% chance I'll make it. If so, I'd be willing to do something on the new deployment system I'm putting together for a client of ours. It would be very very code/architecture-centric though so wouldn't be appropriate for everyone. Maybe be good after we split off?
I just finished up Drupal 6 / GMAP project
willing to discuss some tips and tricks getting taxonomy and gmap views to behave.
Looks like I'll make it
and yes on the pizza. Thanks.
SUG topics
I would like to get some basic tips on how to use Views, CCK, taxonomy -- or whatever works -- to create additional "Story" pages other than the one that comes with the basic set up.
I'm a content guy, I confess, and am having a hard time figuring out how to accomplish this, which I think isn't really so difficult.
But it's a bit of a mystery even after trying to decipher the cryptic discussions related to the topic on the Drupal forums.
I was having such a hard time, in fact, that I temporarily dropped my Drupal efforts and switched to WordPress - but would like to go back to Drupal eventually because I want to have the permissions features, forums, and other features Drupal provides.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yay pizza
I'll definitely be there. If there were a cheese pizza I would be in pizza heaven.
Michael, it's trivially easy to create a new content type... but only if you know how! I just did some googling to see what I could find for documentation for you, and it wasn't easy to find what I was looking for. The drupal.org redesign should help improve the problem of how hard it is to find documentation. In the meantime, see if this helps. You'll notice in the first image, there's an "Add content type" link to the right of the "Content types" header. That link takes you to a page where you can create a simple content type with title and body fields. If you want something more complicated than that, try following this mini-tutorial. If none of the above helps, I'll walk you through it tomorrow. And don't feel bad... they did some usability studies earlier this year, and as I recall, people really struggled with creating a new content type. So you're in good company.
ugh nm I won't be there
ooh yah I'll be there! Finally, a thursday night I have free =D
edit drat. I have to stay late at work =/ email is acting up today
Thanks ksenzee
Thank you for your help with this. Mucking about I felt I was so close to making this work I could smell it. 95% there. It's always that last 5%. I'll get to work on it and see how I do. Thanks. - Michael
thanks
Looking forward to my first meeting. Have just started exploring drupal (first installation today!) but am interested to see how it works for you all.
I may be a few minutes late--I probably don't need any pizza.
See you then!
agenda...
could we talk about a wrap party on the SCBA site for a couple minutes? (answer questions, recruit volunteers and set a date...)
also...
I have made the leap to linux (!) and wanted to ping the group to see if anyone has experience with Komodo. Activestate was a sponsor of Drupalcamp and I am excited about using their product. I was wondering if anyone in the group uses Komodo and might have any config (Drupal-centric) tips.

Two more for pizza if it's not too late?
Two of my coworkers just decided to come. If the pizza isn't ordered yet can we add two for pizza?
1 more
Sorry for the late rsvp, if pizza hasn't been ordered yet I'd enjoy a slice or two otherwise no big deal.

If it's not too late for me too
Sorry for the late RSVP. If it's not too late, I'd also like to engage in pizza consumption. Also no worries if I have missed.
