Next meetup
I'm assuming by the lack of discussion on the website that everyone has been very busy, so I think it's safe to wait till June for our next meeting. Is everyone cool with that?
Also, for the next meeting I'd like to cover two subjects that I think are useful for everyone:
- Photo galleries
- Private content
We could use the ForEveryChild website we started last meeting as our example. I think this should take 30-45 minutes to cover, so there will be plenty of time for any other presentation ideas.
I apologize if it seems I'm trying to run these meetings, I just want to have presentations that are useful and interesting for the entire group.


I'd love to hear more about
I'd love to hear more about photo galleries. This is something I've been playing with a lot as I'm building one for Island.byu.edu + some other personal sites.

Please!
I've been playing around with thickbox, imagecache, imagefield etc. and am still working on my own image gallery, but a group meeting/discussion would be great. :)
I'm down for a discussion
I'm down for a discussion about image galleries. What are your ideas for a private content discussion? When would this meeting be? We missed this month so maybe we should shoot for the first week of June or something. Any ideas?

That would be good to know
That would be good to know
first week in june is good.
I dont have a place to do a meeting or I would offer it. Anytime that first week of june is good, usually towards the evenings are best.
Both topics are great ones to cover, and your site is perfect to learn/teach on.
I would enjoy learning what other people did with displaying a imagegallery (setting a view for it) and creating albums/galleries.
Hi
I love Imagecache and Thickbox, etc. - love that there are so many different ways to image galleries.
So, I only joined this group a short time ago and have never gotten together with all of you (and it could still be pretty challenging for a while) - but I was wondering where you usually meet? Is the location different every time? Is it ever near Cottonwood Heights?

We meet in different places.
We meet in different places. We have people from up near Layton and people from Provo so it really depends. Last time we met downtown in Salt Lake and before that we were meeting down in American Fork.
I would be happy to offer our offices again but I am going out of town today and won't be back until June 7th so you would have to push the meeting. I think we had talked about maybe moving the meeting further south this time anyways, but if everyone would prefer to meet in Salt Lake again then I could see if my colleague is free (he's also a Drupal developer and has been at some of the meetings with me). Whatever works for me (cause I won't be here :).
I'm planning on coming to
I'm planning on coming to the next meeting, whenever it is. I previously lived in Logan and just moved down to South Jordan, so now I'll be able to participate a lot more. :)
There's been a long pause in
There's been a long pause in the group regarding our next meet-up. What's the word on this? When and where? Should Chuck and I just plan it and give everyone the details?
Andrew (amariotti)
Andrew, thanks for stepping
Andrew, thanks for stepping up and getting this ball rolling again. Hopefully we still have a lot of interest in meeting.
So the two questions are, when and where?
Meeting options
Date options
It seems where is most important, so we can plan the when around the host's availability. So let us know your thoughts and we'll plan something.
We would be glad to host
We would be glad to host again here if people want to. Any of the dates would work for me at this point.
Yeah, I'll attend. Just let
Yeah, I'll attend. Just let me know the details.
Assign clear control
I think in future meetings we need to assign someone responsibility for organizing the next meeting. This responsibility could span a number of months. That'd be much better than our current wait-for-someone-to-step-forward system.

Great idea, Kyle. Let's
Great idea, Kyle. Let's definitely put that on the agenda for the next meeting.
I'd also like to discuss the Group Home Page as well, so let's make sure to cover that as well now that I can make changes and add pages. Also (almost done I promise) let's talk about who should be promoted to admin in the group. I'll be sure and remember these items for the meeting.
