Plans?

LIGHTNING ROUNDS
Have a topic you can present in 5 minutes (with 5 more minutes for questions)? The basic idea is there are patterns for developing sites the "drupal" way ("what would drupal do? etc."). Tell us a quick 5 minute recipe for how to put the Drupal "bricks" together. Theming techniques or other things may also be appropriate. Propose it below. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation.- NYC Camp Announcement
- Nikkiana ~ Theming / TBA
- Explain Explained - KMoll
- 1 Module in 5 minutes - Bleen
- DevShop in 5 minutes - ThinkDrop
-
20-30 Min Talks
Have a topic that needs more then 5 minutes, we have slots of 20-30 minute talks. The basic idea is there are broader subjects or more detailed discussions this is the type of talk you would want to signup for, please mention 20 min talk when posting your talk description and the audience you expect to speak to.- Project Management - Nicole Lind
- Diversity in Software Development - DrNikki
- Apache Solr - PWolanin
-
Break Out Sessions
Breakout sessions take place in the "other room" and are more informal, covering any number of topics.- New 2 Drupal BOF table - New to Drupal? Bring your questions and problems for expert help. If you are new to Drupal and the talks don't apply to you some of us will take a group and talk with you about your issues.
- Drupal Ladders Q&A - Get started on the Drupal Ladder! Break out session to prepare for Ladders contrib event this Sunday.
- NYC Camp planning discussion - informal, ad hoc discussion to plan next Drupalcamp
- Other ad hoc breakout BOFs - Have an interest? Start a BOF at a break out table
Signup Instructions!: 7 World Trade Center security checks your photo id against the list of attendees that we provide.

Comments
Lightning talk
A more thorough look at one of the 10 modules in 5 mins I did last time ... Haven't picked which yet
Which one?
DId you pick which module yet? Meetup is the day after tomorrow. ;-)
not too sure
Hi was just hoping to get a clue how to theme and start converting a site to omega. Pretty new this would be my first drupal meeting maybe infrastructure? Are the talks separate? Thought I could just sit in and listen
Ken
That was for Bleen
Ken- Er, if you look at the threading you'll see that comment/question was directed at Bleen, who is doing a 5 minute lightning round on a module "TBD."
Looking forward to seeing you at the meetup, we'll be covering a lot of topics.
Lightning Talk
Even though its not Drupal specific, I can do a quick 5 minute talk about optimizing custom queries using Explain
Enterprise DevOps without the Devs or the Ops
I was down to present this last week, but it feel off the agenda. I'm still keen to present it remotely. Are people interested in me delivering it in April?
btw I'll be NY on Friday night for drinks, I'd be happy to talk to people about it there. More info available in this post.
Re: Enterprise DevOps without the Devs or the Ops
YES! I've been eager as can be to see this. In earlier tries there have been technical difficulties, so might I suggest next time we try using zoom.us for conferencing -- I've used that in conjunction with join.me and had excellent results. Last time I used it there were people in London, NYC and Phoenix, Arizona, and the call went off flawlessly.
Sorry I can't make it on Friday, especially since this is here in NY.
Another time, no doubt!
Out of town
I will be out of town for this one, see you guys next month!
I told Forest I'd do a 20-30

Drupal Infrastructure in a box: DevShop in 5 Minutes (Improved!)
I have fixed a number of bugs that made my last 5 minute demo of DevShop kindof disappointing. Lets try again!
In 5 minutes, we will create a brand new Drupal site from scratch, deploy it to test and live environments, make some changes, and then deploy it again. Then, we'll add a module or tweak some theme code, commit and push it, and watch as it magically makes its way to our dev and test servers. If that looks good, we'll Pull Code to live again!
And we'll do all of this without ever leaving the browser.
For more information, see http://drupal.org/project/devshop

Regrets
Although I had hoped to make it, will not be able to. Regards to all. Have fun!
I am not sure I am going to
I am not sure I am going to make it to the meet up tonight, and if I do I will probably be late, so I will need to move my lightning talk on Explain to another meet up.
Can't make it tonight
Sorry for the late notice, sudden conflict arose. See you next month! Regards to all.
Updated Solr quickstart is at
Updated Solr quickstart is at http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/search/quick-start-solr-3
I suggest downloading this in advance if you want to play along. A local Drupal 7 site + devel generate will also be helpful.
Not tonight, sadly. Heads-up about Sunday...
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it tonight. Really sorry to miss this one!
If you want more Drupal in your week after tonight, stop by the Drupal Ladder sprint this Sunday to learn more about (and help with!) Drupal 8: http://groups.drupal.org/node/290083.
