Sydney November Meetup

Thanks to everyone that showed up last month. I think we had a really productive meetup. We'll meetup at our regularly scheduled day (3rd thursday of the month) again - Thursday, November 19th.

This month we'll be making some of the adjustments that we discussed to encourage some more support and social discussion. Remember to bring your laptops and your support questions or discussion topics.

Sign Up!
When: Thursday, November 19th
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:30pm for firm 7pm start!!)
Venue: ABC Centre 700 Harris Street, Ultimo ( Map | Directions )

Venue Details

The ABC Centre has some security issues, so it is important that people arrive early and sign in at the security desk so that we can take everyone into the building at once. Everyone just waits and chats in the lobby, so just look around for us if you're new. If you have problems you can call either of us. Many thanks go to the ABC for providing this venue.

Parking is possible at parking meters around thomas street and mary-anne street. But they take a 2 hour max i think. There are carparks behind the abc $15 (enter from thomas street, but on the chinatown side). Also, you can get all-evening parking at the Citigate (I think that's the name) parking station for (updated) $10 (starting after 5pm, I think, and stays open until well after midight). It's at the end of the Thomas street dead end (Eastern/Chinatown side), which is very close to the ABC's back entrance.

Agenda:

• Greetings and Welcome new people + Announcements
• Community News by: Volunteer?
  A presentation about any interesting news in the community this month.
• Presentation: UberCart Basics by: Boris
  This presentation will cover the basics of setting up an ecommerce store and adding a product with Ubercart
• Session: Live Support
  We will be delivering a live support session for all levels of Drupal experience. Remember when you first got started? - Everyone has been there and can help someone else climb the Drupal learning curve, wherever your current experience provides. Please come prepared with questions or answers, laptops and your Drupal experience! Unfortunately, we can't guarantee internet access.
• Continued at the pub with + Drinks/food

Remember to sign up, this will also help us plan numbers/audience.
