oh locations

I am probably the worst on locations. The Bakers Square restaurant on Fair Oaks and Howe would work for me as a starter suggestion. Other suggestions certainly welcome. Worst case, we can just meet at my house though I am in Elk Grove and we have at least one person in Roseville that may come and 2-3 in Davis. It would also mean I have to clean house which wouldn't kill me.

Bakers Square sounds fine. I also can offer my office for meeting. When I say office I mean a previously abandoned second floor of our building that I staked a claim to last fall. I have about 3000 sq ft up here and while I don't have carpeting or a ceiling, I turned half of the area into work space and the other half into an oversized lounge with a full refrigerator, couches, a conference area (sans table) and an antenna-less TV area (working on hooking a linux box into it for YouTube'ing). We call it the attic. We're located on Cirby Ave, just off the Riverside exit (between Antelope and Douglas) in South Roseville. Any meetings here I would be able to provide the grub and drinks (no alcohol though).


How about somewhere along the lines

of TGI Fridays, Chevys, El Torito, Hooters (just kidding), or something a little less family-ish than Bakers Square. Or even a brewery if it's more centrally located than the last one we met at.

I prefer Chili's over Chevy's myself and think there is one on Howe and Arden.

I was also trying to consider the background noise in some of the establishments as well.

I know just where you're talking about too - that's pretty central to everything.

Well then, let's see how many other suggestions we get... yes/no's and such and decide on Monday.

I'm game. Jon's in as well. 7pm work for everyone?

7pm works for me and would probably help people get through the Sacramento commute time.

If no one objects I shall adjust the time in the event.

Hope everyone is registered for OSCMS.


Suggestion

Guys:

I'd like to present to the SacDUG at our next meeting a presentation we're thinking about doing at OSCMS. Is there a chance we can do that at this meeting? It's a Drupal benchmark session I'd like to get some feedback on.

Any objections? Guys willing to spend 25 minutes going over it?

Jonathan


sweet!

One less session I have to attend at OSCMS and can go to something else! :D
I'm all for a preview.


Hehe

Well, I don't think this presentation will work well in a restaurant. It actually does involve a server rack (portable, but it's not something that will work at a dinner table).

Next time.


If the restaurant doesn't

jayv - Thu, 2007-02-22 01:09

If the restaurant doesn't work, and you don't mind a 10 minute drive north, you're free to use my office for the presentation. Of course, please read http://groups.drupal.org/node/2778#comment-7767 to clarify what I mean by office.


Deadline to decide where this is happening?

I don't mean to rush you, but could you PLEASE decide where this is going to take place. We are watching the weather to see if we can even make from Reno. I don't want to get to Chili's only to find the meetup has been moved.

Also, if you do stick with Chili's is there someone local who'd volunteer to go a little early to get a table?

The announcement is updated and will stick as what it is. Chili's.


Sounds great!

See you all there!

Hi all, I may come. I'm new to Drupal and new to the groups site. I'm a developer with the Sacramento Bee and I've been playing around with Drupal (www.scoopytube.org), but would like to get more involved. So where will the meeting actually be?

Hi Everyone, I live in Sacramento (near Sac State) but I didn't know there was a Sacramento Drupal group. I'll try to make it to this meetup. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to attend OCMS/Drupalcon. I'm a full-time student (in my last semester) and I don't think I can miss classes those days.


We're new and pretending we're organized, play along :D

There is a Saturday and Sunday session for hacking Drupal afterwards. :D Think about it.

Just for the headcount, a coworker and I will be coming Thursday. Are we just going to meet up at the entrance or do we have an official 'Drupal' table?

Entrance. We're winging it. I'm not sure that Chili's does reservations so the chaos will be fun.


I'll be there

Thanks, guys, for setting this up. It's a little longer drive for me than Davis, but it'll be worth it!
