Start: 
2009-10-15 19:00 - 21:00 Asia/Hong_Kong

It's been too long since our last meetup. We'll be meeting at the usual spot:

Soho Life English Training Centre
1st fl., 148 Connaught Road Central,
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Google Map

Possible topics:

  • Case study of your Drupal site
  • You've got a problem and want to know how to fix it (we'll need to decide whether a particular problem is a good candidate for a group walkthrough)
  • Best Practices - from installation to security to implementation
  • How to setup an AMP stack on your home computer
  • OpenCalais
  • Drupal 7 features
  • anything else you might suggest

We'll want to narrow this down to 2-3 in the next few days. Give us your ideas.

1 for OpenCalais

1 for Drupal 7 features (and live demo?), may be talking about best practices to do now so to ensure relatively painless upgrade from 6 to 7? Also, what's the deal with Taxonomy module? I extra replaced?

Please Yuuguu me in on the meeting!

Is the HKDUG meeting a regular event and if so, when does it usually fall?

@cookiesunshinex sorry I didn't reply sooner, we were attempting to book the venue at the time and I didn't have anything concrete to tell you.

Our meetups are rather irregular, though we always do it on a Thursday.

++ 1 for OpenCalais - sounds interesting but no idea of how to apply to real world use.

++ 1 for case study

++ 1 for drupal 7 features

suggestions for meet up:
Make it for a number of events /[meetups], once a month and 3 parts for each event
-part 1 for contribute module {introduction / implementation / advance configuration}
-part 2 for case study
-part 3 for "twisting/customizing/configuring...etc" {using some scripts or snippets [instead of modules?]

module suggestions:
1. Rules module - it seems quite interesting too, i am trying to replace some of the "small" module with rules (trying to use less modules), would be interested to know how to use it properly.

problem - customizing:
1. How use store age and search user by age range? anyone has done this? can you share it?
- Age changes every year, when should you re-cal all of them?? and how?


It might be a bit redundant

It might be a bit redundant to do Drupal 7 since we just covered that at Barcamp.

Lots of suggestions for topics. Is anyone interested in presenting on any of these?

I'll present on http://tcktcktck.org/

Nice to meet you guy tonight!

I have problem on using view Arguments and Panles 3 (even i read: http://groups.drupal.org/node/9770) How to put 2 argument and pass it to panle? Hope someone can enlighten me.

I install Rules module (http://drupal.org/project/rules), but not yet study how to use it :> Token (http://drupal.org/project/token) also a module I know is powerful, but I just use the defult function with pathauto. Can we put token on Google Ajax Search module(http://drupal.org/project/googleajaxsearch)? Yes! a lot to learn!

I use drupal to finish a small and simple site (hsl.nlpchk.com) for my friend last month, I can do a case study on our meeting - but not this time, because I want to more time to understand http://tcktcktck.org/ and I need sometime to ready. Thanks! Dave.
