Drupal Installfest (Web Based)
This meeting is for anyone planning to attend Drupal Camp NYC 7 on Dec 5th who is also planning to attend the hands-on intro to Drupal session.
This web based meeting will walk you through installing a local development environment on your laptop so that you can run Drupal locally for training and educational (or development) purposes.

- Introducing the LAMP stack
- Options for installing a "LAMP" stack locally on your PC for running applications like Drupal
- Install WAMP on your Windows PC
- Install MAMP on your Macintosh PC
- Download needed files for the hands-on Intro to Drupal
Goal:
- To ensure that you have a PC ready to go for the hands on intro session at Drupal Camp NYC 7 on December 5th
Venue:

environment comparison
I'm interested to see the difference/levels of ease between installing on both systems. Do you know what OS specifically you will be using on a PC? I've already got MAMP running on my MBP :)

Windows version won't matter too much
I'm actually a Linux guy myself. However, generally I find the intro session to be about a 50/50 split between Windows and MAC folks.
I'll try and work with both WAMP for Windows folks and MAMP for Mac folks on this web based meeting. Haven't decided if I'll be running XP or Windows 7 for the screen share (I don't have any vista machines). But it won't make much difference. We'll be using Wamp so end result should be the same.
I won't cover setting up LAMP on Linux. That's out of scope for this meeting, but happy to help anyone on the side with that.
Remember though - this is an intro session! I won't assume folks attending even know what LAMP is. So I'll both be discussing what LAMP is as well as (while) walking folks through how to get their environment set up locally on either MAC or Windows.
i concur
I'm a linux person as well :)
glad there's no vista, having to click on one permission after another to find that it doesn't work is a little frustrating.
If you need a hand with the basics of MAMP installs at all, don't hesitate to ask, I will be glad to help out.
I run a couple Linux flavors, Mac OS X and WinXP so feel free to pick my mind as well.
Personally I am of the opinion that everybody should be running Drupal locally, it saves a lot of time and makes for a great learning environment. Thus, I am looking forward to this particular meeting.
