WooHoo! It's finally warming up!

The April DUG meeting will be held at the CentralPoint office located right in the center of SugarHouse. Bring your computer, business cards, and Drupal questions. There will be soda (just checked the fridge, I see Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist) and maybe some other beverages.

Social hour prior to the meeting directly below the office at Salt Lake Pizza & Pasta. If you plan on going to this part let us know here so Walt knows who to look for.

Parking in the back behind Fidler's Elbow and Well's Fargo. The door to get to the office is right off 2100 South. The address: 1061 East 2100 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84106

I'll be there for the meeting and probably for food before. Will confirm next week for social hour.
I'll also bring a growler of fermented beverage to the meeting.

I'd like to hear about Features, as I've not been introduced to it.

I would like to hear more about features as well. I have some introduction but need to look at it closer as we launch more and more of these sites that are almost clones of themselves. Site management is becoming a beast!

So I haven't made the last few DUG meetings, but have we discussed whether we're having a DrupalCamp Utah this summer? If not, it might be a good conversation for next week's meeting.

Hey Chuck! Yes, that's on the agenda for this month (DCU 2013). We'll need to continue the conversation this month since next month we probably wont have a meeting... a lot of the regulars will be in Portland.

We will be there.

We will be attending, also we will be joining for the Pasta-Pizza social part. There should be two of us.

I would love to hear what others have done with features, We had quite a few features we had built for Drupal 6, but found them a pain to maintain due to modules version updates. Although I am sure they have got much better since then.
