I'm going to try and come but I may have to bail out a little early. We've been doing some really cool stuff with media repositories and easier workflow for nodereferenced data that I would love to talk about a bit.


I've added to the agenda, so

I'll be attending my first Seattle event this month since I'll be in the area for a week or so. I'd be happy to give a little demo on using the flag module and how we used it for session voting on the camp website for DrupalCampLA (http://2009.drupalcampla.com)


Glad to have you Blake

There is a docs sprint going on at the same time as co-working, maybe we could focus on that for those who are coming?


I'll be sprinting...

Let's have Blake talk about flag module as one of our lightning talks.

I have some lightning talks too.

I setup facebook connect for the first time, so I thought I might talk about that.

Plus I found another interesting module which I didn't end up using but it's pretty freakin' cool. It's called String Overrides: http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides

I'll be attending my first meeting as well...

PetePeterson - Wed, 2009-08-19 19:55

I just started working with Drupal... building sites for a couple non-profits. I'm interested to hear what "heyrocker" has to say about rich media repositories. I've worked with large media libraries on commercial and proprietary software for about 6 years (at Getty Images) and more recently with Alfresco (open source).

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Pete


I might make it

I might be able to make it tomorrow. If I'm there, I'll do a quick intro to my latest module and probably babel about the latest changes in boost.


Thanks for the great meetup!
