Ditto, it's greatly appreciated and here's hoping it works well.

I'd love to come along...

But probably can't commit to the whole day... Would that still work?

Absolutely, drop in and out as you're available.

No formal structure, just people meeting and trying to get stuff done, asking and answering questions, etc.

Awesome!

any more planned?

Posted by bronscott on February 5, 2012 at 2:39am

Hi! This sounds like just what I need but I'll be over in New Zealand at a conference. I am very much a newbie to Drupal and could really use some mentoring on some issues on the website I'm now running. Are these events run through the year?

Yes, every month

Posted by realityloop on February 5, 2012 at 11:21pm

they're on the 3rd Saturday every month :)

I'll be along to this one,

Posted by ericaordinary on February 5, 2012 at 11:08pm

I'll be along to this one, and +1 for the excellent new location.

Bronscott, these are monthly events so there will be another one next month. I think they are on the third Saturday, although Brian/Stuart can correct me if that's wrong.
