Let's cool off from the DC heat this coming Tuesday, June 5th, with some beers and catch up on what everyone has been working on. I know a lot of folks here in DC have been jamming on some awesome projects and we could all benefit from learning about them and sharing our own work.
I'm working on finding a venue for us now and will update everyone once we have one set up. It will be in the Dupont area so it should be easy for everyone to stop by after work. We'll get started at 7:00 pm.
I propose a round of five minute egg timer talks. I'll bring the egg timers (I bought a few to help us focus). I'm thinking six to eight short talks bringing the total time to around 30 to 40 minutes. We can then end with Ted's traditional five minute Drupal round up to give us the latest news on the code freeze. I know some folks may think five minutes is too short to share their amazing ideas, but the goal is to get everyone interested in your work so they'll want to talk with you casually after. So let the ideas flow! Post proposals for egg timer talks and requests for what you want to hear about.
See everyone on Tuesday!
UPDATE: As Bonnie said, we'll be meeting at the Science Club at 1136 19th Street, NW. See you there!

the stuff I showed last night
I've just blogged about the stuff I showed last night (http_redirect and some Drupal/Jabber interaction) over here. This is the only place to download my changes to http_redirect.module right now, until they make it into Drupal CVS. Enjoy!
By the way, great meeting
By the way, great meeting again last night! I enjoyed the presentations, getting to know some new people, and hanging for wings and beers afterwards (always a good call in my book).
That Was Fun
That was a fun meetup. We have to do stuff like that more often, the night ends to early from time to time.
