I updated the story a few weeks so this is just a reminder. The usual Tuesday meetup has been moved to Thursday. I apologize for the move but the MNN space was crammed and on Thursday we'll have the space to ourselves.
What do you guys want to talk about?
Drupal 5.0?
Google map projects?
Node_save()?

Dealing with overflow....
Idea #1
Advomatic is hiring, you and I have had several conversations about being overwhelmed, and I myself get a couple of drupal job offers a week at this point. It seems that if you know how to install this thing, then people want to pay you to do it, which is great.... but there are too few of us.
The dojo is working overtime starting to churn out qualified developers, but until that all comes online, How do people deal with overflow? It seems even hiring an experienced php/mysql guy I can't seem to always explain 'the drupal way'.
Franz gave a great session at drupalcampnyc2 about how we are evolving a new business model of 'openness' how does that apply to working with each other? What are people's resources for drupal when there is too much for them to do? Am I the only one interested in this?
Idea #2
The meetup has been happening for quite some time and we haven't really gotten into the guts of coding or even deploying sites yet.... could we make this session a bugfix meetup. Pick 1 or 2 issues out of the queue and do a group issue fix? Give a little back with our meetup?

Idea #2 is..
I think Idea #2 is easy to grasp and great for a session. It will get us all involved in tracing and fixing bugs which is a great skill to have.
Idea #1 is more conceptual and while I really want to get into it because we are all overwhelmed with work (Which is awesome) this is a much harder problem to solve.

Ok,
So if people want I can go on about the basic process for patch review, we can review a patch or two and then we can maybe set about rolling a patch for some simple bug. Something easy.
I think a lot of people don't realize that it only takes about 15 minutes to half an hour to do a patch review and its enormously helpful to all the devs. You really don't need to be a coder to help, and if you let it be known that you are learning path review the support from the community is stellar - they know how much it could help them to get another person up to speed on this.
Anyway, any requests for this, or should I just launch into it?

OS CMS
Is anyone going to OS-CMS? Wanna plane-pool? (....come'on I know someone here has a private jet). We can get a few double-bed hotel rooms to cut costs for people.
btw: Yup I'm definitely going.
