Hi all,

We are all set for tomorrows meetup. We will be kicking it a bit informal tomorrow. Our format will follow a Birds of the Feather type format. Basically a round table discussion regarding our challenges at our current time.

If you are new to Drupal this is a great time to bring down your questions and field them within our community. I will have my machine projected and have some sites on the screen to play with.

Some topics that come to mind:

  1. I am trying to get started but having a problem figuring out where and how to start.
  2. I have a site installed... now what.
  3. How are we using Drush. Do we use aliases, how to setup aliases on hosts other then Pantheon or Acquia.
  4. Getting started with Geocoded data and Drupal. ( I can demo if requested )

I am looking forward to our meetup tomorrow!

Thanks.

I can't make it to tomorrows meeting -- but it sounds like a fun format!

I am heading out to Portland for DrupalCon on Saturday, anyone else from Long Island making the trip?
