Start: 
2013-02-21 19:00 - 21:00 America/New_York
Event type: 
User group meeting

**Please note that this meeting is delayed one week due to Valentines Day**

1. Sass, Compass & Integration via the Zen & Omega base themes

Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rulesvariables,mixinsselector inheritance, and more. It’s translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin such as Compass. Mike Herchel will give a presentation on both SASS and Compass, and how they integrate into theming Drupal through either Zen, Omega, or a do-it-yourself theme!

2. Views Plugins Universe

The ubiquitous Views module has [seemingly] hundreds off plugin modules that extend it to the limits. Brandon Ratzloff will explain and demo various plugin modules and how to bend Views/Drupal to your every whim.

3. Sheetnode Presentation

Sheetnode integrates the JavaScript spreadsheet engine SocialCalc as a new node type in Drupal. Martin Boecken will walk our group thought the ins and outs of this module.

In addition, we'll have

  • A [free] 20 minute Drupal beginner session/training for any newbies that attend
  • A rundown of the top X Drupal modules - this is always one of our favorites
  • Roundtable discussion - What have you done or learned in the last month that's worth showing off?
  • A happy-hour / social event afterwards - probably at Harry's or The Top (both are within walking distance)! This'll give us a chance to nerd-talk over a beer or three :)

Details:

  • When: Thurs February 21st, 2013 7pm-9pm EDT
  • Where: the Alachua County Downtown Libary (401 East University Ave) Click for Map.
  • Room: We'll be in the Foundation Room, which is up the stairs and to the left (follow the wall until you see the sign. Ask for help if needed).
  • Afterwards: We'll be going out for food/beer/socializing at a restaurant/bar within walking distance.
  • What to bring: Bring your laptop if you have one, if not, don't worry!
