The next meetup will be on May 8, 2012.

Presentations

Nathan Eanes of Visualatte will walk us through the work he's been doing with Drupal for Facebook and other related Facebook modules. These modules can help integrate a Drupal site with Facebook Apps and the Open Graph Protocol, making it possible to tie Drupal users to Facebook profiles, initiate Facebook actions and posts through a Drupal site, and much more.

Case Studies Drupal Community Report

Instead of case studies (which are still welcome for Max's upcoming meetups in the summer!) we're going to try something new this month. Are you excited about the development or progress in a Drupal initiative? Spending a lot of time working on an interesting feature in the issue queue? After the general hang out and question session, let's share what we've been doing or watching on Drupal.org and G.D.O. Prep something small, for example a brief synopsis and the name of the group or thread, and clue the rest of us in on what's new and important in your part of the Drupal neighborhood.

Location

This month we'll be meeting at xforty technologies at 33 Terminal Way, Suite 429-B in the South Side. sshivell aka Stan is generously donating office space for us. Feel free to bring some refreshments if you'd like to pitch in -- this time around I'll probably grab some beers.

We aren't sure if there will be a projector yet or not, so anyone who has one that could be used as backup, please post below. Thanks everybody, see you there.

I can wrangle one if nobody else steps up to the plate. Just let me know a day before if I'm the bringer. Stan knows how to get in touch with me too.

Great

I asked a friend already but I'm not sure if he'll come through. Thanks for volunteering as a backup.

I have a projector and will bring it. What type of computer does the presenter have and will he need a Mac Video adaptor? If so - which one?

Thanks Liz

That would be great. Nathan definitely has a Mac laptop, not sure which video adapter it uses.

See you on Tuesday.

Adapter

I have a Mac with a mini display port. I have an adapter that connects to a standard DVI cable.

Location of Meetup

Hey guys.
Additional information about the location of tonights meetup.

The building / complex is the Terminal Buildings. It's off of East Carson between South Side and Station Square. The building is also called "The Riverwalk Corporate Center" And there is a sign saying as much at Carson and Terminal. Giant Brick Buildings

We're in the "West Building" That's the building closest to Station square. When you turn onto Terminal Way it's the building on the left. About in the middle of the building there is a handicap ramp and some stairs that take you to the "West Lobby"

Follow signs from there. We're on the 4th floor.

Ride backup
