any interest in having user group meetings?

fending's picture

Hi, all - I was wondering if anybody was interested in something like a user group meeting. You know - pizza, presentations, witty banter, whining, high-fiving... I'm located in Buffalo, and I understand that this group is intended to meet in Rochester exclusively, but I'm up for the drive if there's interest. Anybody else?

[And if there's anybody floating around in Buffalo, please drop me a message sometime and maybe we can organize something local to us!]

Anyway, I'll be at drupalcon DC in March - hope to see some of you there!/BF

You won't see me @ Drupalcon, but I'd be game for a user group. (Pulling my hair out over Ubercart right now.)


User group meeting

I would be very interested in a group meeting, perhaps a show-and-tell type of thing. I am very interested in how other people are implementing things.

I am in Rochester, will not be at DrupalCon.


Sounds good

Sounds good to me. We're actually using UC for our subscriptions so I may be able to help.

Won't be at Drupalcon because they sold out so fast :(


Any interest still?

I'm still interested. I don't think it needs to be anything too formal. It would be nice just to have some connections in the Rochester area.


I was thinking

I was thinking It would be a bit strange and geeky to goto a Drupal meeting... but then I remembered that I am a geek, so count me in!


I might

Maybe Batavia?

I figured I just toss the idea out. Batavia is smack dab in the middle between Rochester and Buffalo. I honestly don't care where we meet as long as we get this thing off the ground. I'm getting sick of all the NYC emails in my inbox, and nothing for Western NY. So, let's get planning:

  • I'm assuming that weekends work best for everyone? I believe the NYC meetups are generally on a Saturday.
  • Does everyone prefer a day event or something at night? Maybe around dinner time?
  • Let's get this location thing sorted out. Batavia is between Rochester and Buffalo, but if we're reaching out as far as Syracuse then Rochester would be a better location. Rochester also has an abundance of possible venues.

Post info here, and would it maybe be possible to name this group the "Western NY" user group?


Fixed income:(

I live on a fixed income. I have a bit of a problem driving farther then Batavia. If anyone around Greece is willing to car-pool I can/will go!

Some weekends are preferable then others but I would just like to dive deeper into Drupal, so I would be happy to jump in.

Ohh and another thing, I would need to save for an extra keyboard (I cant type on the small laptops).


so about meeting...

Okay, so Drupalcon was awesome and I've got a couple of sites in production for a show & tell. So when do we meet again?

Seriously, I'm under some time constraints (baby on the way!) that make Rochester travel pretty tough. There's an older post in the Roch group to not rename to WNY, so here's the Buffalo effort: http://groups.drupal.org/buffalo

Either way, best of luck with Rochester group. You'll probably see me there one day! :)
