Hey Guys,
Unfortunately, I had to miss the first meetup in Nov. But I'm in the process of working on a new site and would love to get in touch with some other drupalites. Is anyone else interested?
How about the middle of april? 18th?
Cheers,
Ryan

Comments
Sure, why not.
I'm in. The evening of April 18th is probably ok.
Any thoughts on where and what time?
I'd be keen for May
Hey all,
I'd be interested in meeting up, but I won't be back in Sydney until May.
I currently live in Chicago and attend a regular Drupal meetup over here. After being abroad for 8 years, it will be great to hear about Drupal from an Aussie/Sydney point of view. I've had a quick look for drupal type jobs in Sydney, but there doesn't seem to be many. Oh well...hopefully this would have changed by the time I get back home. :)
See you soon,
Alex

The sooner the better!
Just drop me a line with when you'd like to get together. I'd rather not wait till May....
I'm more of a end user, just geting into development. Thrown up a couple of quick and dirty sites already. But it'd be great to meet others.
April 18 would be great.
Hi everyone, I'm new to Drupal development and I think a regular Sydney get together would be really good. If the location was somewhere where individuals could do demo's that would be perfect.
Anyone with access to a conference room with a projector in the CBD?
I'm interested in getting
I'm interested in getting along on the 18th and have a web designer friend who is starting to look into drupal and might come along. I'm at the novice level so will probably be doing more listening than contributing.
Venue?
Hi all,
It's fast approaching the 18th and there has been very little talk about where the meet up likely to happen (if at all), where it might happen and the format it's to take.
1) Does anyone have a suggested venue? What will the numbers be? Do we require any special facilities? - Or shall we just catch up at a pub? Can anyone suggest or offer a space?
2) Do we have anything in mind?
I'm still keen
I'm glad to see we have a few interested people. I was kind of hoping a few people from the original meetup might comment (and come) since I wasn't able to make it. I think last time was just kind of a pub style thing, but I'm willing to have a bit more structure if people are interested (but I still like the idea of beer). Sounds like we've got about 6 people. I also like the idea of making this a more regular thing. Time wise, how about 6:00pm? location - I would prefer something near the city. There are some places near central station or last time I think they did it in the rocks at the lowenbrau (sp?). It also sounds like a lot of people are new to drupal, so what would you like to see? Since a wednesday night will probably not be too busy, maybe we could get a room reserved somewhere. Would someone be able/willing to make a few calls and reserve some space for us?

Pub suggestions for the 18th
For the 18th a pub is probably the easiest. Here are my suggestions
Arthouse Hotel - City
Hollywood Hotel - City/Surry Hills
A Friend in Hand - Glebe
Was trying to think of quiet pubs with nice atmosphere... anyone other suggestions? What was the Lowenbrau like last time?
Pub choice for 18th April Meet
I like the idea of the Holywood -simply because it's close to where I live and I've never been before! The Art House would be OK too, but I'd prefer not to go to Glebe. What do others think?
Yea
Yea, I'm also not terribly keen on Glebe (i'm a student so its a bit difficult to get there on public transport)

I'll grab the sofas!
It's the 18th tomorrow so I propose a meeting at the Hollywood Hotel as previously suggested.
I'll get there early and try and grab the sofas about 5pm, hope as many of you as possible will get down for 6pm. Please let me know who is intending coming so I've an idea about numbers.
For those of you not familar with the Hollywood here's a map.

the 18th is Wednesday!!
hey tim,
the 18th is wednesday yeah?.... so I'll be coming and I might bring an associate. Sounds like it will be a fun meet and greet... maybe at the catchup we can all make plans for something a little more regular in a space that can accommodate laptops/projectors etc. See you Wednesday night, 6pm at the Hollywood!!

The 18th IS Wednesday!
Sorry about the original posting and any confusion caused: The 18th April IS Wednesday....
Hope to see you then.
I'll be coming along
I'll be coming along tonight. Is there any particular way of recognising people in the group?
Nice to meet everyone
Hey Guys,
It was really nice to meet up with everyone. For those that didn't make it, there was about 7 of us. We talked about having a regular meeting, hopefully next time with some computers around so we can discuss and share things more. People seemed really interested in learning more about "the right way" to do things in drupal, so hopefully we can figure something out. Anyways, glad to meet everyone. Put a comment below if you're still interested in putting together something regular. Also, I can start putting screen names with real faces =)

great meet-up
Hey Ryan,
Peter here (nasa t-shirt guy)..... was a good meet-up. Adnan isn't a Groups member yet but I'll get him to sign up. We're happy to organise a venue for the next meet-up, either the Pitt St venue or Kings Cross community centre. I guess it all depends on when everyone thinks the next one should be... May or June?
Peter
Regular Meetup
I would love to go to regular meet-ups in Sydney. I am pretty flexible as to location but would prefer something close to Central. I think that makes it easier for those without public transport.
Wednesday nights would also be the best for me but I still can be flexible with some exceptions.
I guess there was a meeting on 18 April. Was a time and place set for the next meeting?
