User group meeting
chx is hosting a D7CX upgrade sprint, so Classic Graphics main office at 5901 Northwoods Business Pkwy, Charlotte, NC will host a satellite sprint on October 17 in the far left entrance door by the trees. Not everyone can drive/fly to Canada. Wifi, pizza, drinks budgeted already.
The official sprint doesn't start until noon EDT, but I'll probably be there a lot earlier to get it started.
Mark Shropshire and Bryan Stalcup are interested in attending. More planned.

Some possible things
People sit around with their laptops, an IRC window, and figure out how to upgrade various modules to support Drupal 7. The environment setup makes it so you can just yell out to the other people in the room when you discover something or need help.
There's also talking about Drupal, meeting other people in person, learning about Drupal 7, etc. You don't have to be a module maintainer to attend - you can help someone else on their module, submit patches to other modules you might use on your own site, work through someone's issue queue, sit around and read about the Drupal 7 changes, whatever.
Man, either this or the
Man, either this or the Vancouver sprint would be great to attend. Anyone want to fly me to NC for this from Nebraska so I can upgrade Mollom, XMLsitemap, FeedBurner, Path redirect, etc? :)

Awesome
Definitely looking forward to this.
Don't forget to RSVP...
if you're coming so we make sure there's enough food, electricity, etc.
BarCampCLT is also Oct 17...
I would come check this out, but I'm gonna be at BarCamp. I wonder if any other Drupalers will be there... and if it would make sense to dedicate a session to checking in on the D7CX upgrade sprint. Not sure how that'd work, and if anything useful would be accomplished by a handful of people joining for a short time period.
Maybe you guys could record a quick hello via webcam, and we play it for the folks at BarCamp, just to connect some tech folks with what each other is up to.
I dunno... dumb idea?
