In 2009 I reviewed the book "Using Drupal". The post become an awesome resource for the top 100 modules for Drupal 6. I would love to repeat that event and posting with the second edition.

So, at our next meeting let's do a module tour of all the modules covered in this book and all the modules you have used in your sites that you can't be without. Add the modules you love as comments below and you can present those to the group. I'm not looking to do an indepth discussion of any one module but describe as many modules as possible in the one hour. If you take up my challenge of posting your favorite modules this thread could become a really awesome resource for newbies and gurus. Drupal 7 only please.
As added incentive, Who ever posts the best list (attendees will decide) gets an ebook from O'Reilly who has offered to sponsor this event.
The book has not reached full version yet so the appendix below may change.
LOCATION
We'll be meeting in Room 8, Curtiss Hall at Iowa State University Google Map. Please excuse the mess in the hallways as parts of the building are being remodeled.
As always, there will be time for open discussion/question time. If you have a question, or would like to bounce ideas around with others, please come and share!
