Missed it

Ah, I can't believe I missed the 1/19 DUG. I've been waiting for something close (to Decatur) and didn't follow this post. I am new to Drupal, not a module contributor but have built 2 sites now using Drupal. Ultimately my goal is to learn as much as possible about using Drupal and maybe someday be an active contributor.

Point is, I may have nothing to add to the DUG but would love to be a fly on the wall and take in as much as possible.

Hope to attend in February!

Hi Landon,

In February we decided to take a road trip to Bloomington to join their meeting. So the date and time have slightly changed.

Here is our plan for February:

Tuesday Feb. 28
Meet at 5:15pm at Pixo parking lot
Directions: http://pixotech.com/directions

We will car pool together to the Bloomington Meetup which starts at 6:30pm. We will arrive back in C-U around 9pm.

More details and reminders to come. Please save the date and mark your calendars.

Future Topic Suggestions

bowersox's picture

Here are future topics that the group last week suggested for future Meet Ups this year:

  • SEO in Drupal - Jason Rambeck offered to present about this
  • Date and Calendar - Karen Stevenson offered this
  • Display Suite - Karen Stevenson also suggested the Lullabot.com article and MustardSeed video

Context module was also mentioned, but nearly everyone present already was using it so we decided it might not be a great presentation for this group.

Any other topics you want?
