Berkeley Drupal Group - June 20th Meeting

Greeting East Bay Drupalers,

Last month we went with an extended Q&A period since there were so many brand new folk. I would love to have a bit more presentation time this month, so let me know if you have a great idea for a presentation.

Food - Dan can't make it this month, but if someone volunteers to bring pizza & drinks, Civic Actions will reimbursement them.

Follow up:

We had another great meeting. About 20 folk showed up. Only about a quarter UCB folk which was quite a change from last month. Conversation ranged from "How does Drupal stack up to other CMS's", to tradeoffs of Image Cache vs Image module, to a Wysiwig slap-down, to debate over drupal.org hosting adds, and lots of stops along the way.

We had a couple great suggestion for the future, including having a presentation of "how I created this website", and collecting questions ahead of time on a wiki page here in the Bay Area group. Also, there is strong interest in a regular SF Drupal group, if anyone on the west side of the bay wants to organize it.

Here are links to somethings that were mentioned in the meeting:
* Lullabot's Site - Good source for Drupal articles and podcasts. Especially Top 40 Drupal Modules
* Drupal Module Metics Proposal
* Notable sites using Drupal
* Official Drupal list of core contracting houses
* The Drupal Association
* Resource page for this group - this page is just getting started. Feel free to send me more resources to put here, or we could think about turning this into a wiki page on this group.

Thanks again for everyone who came, and especially to Jen for totting the pizzas up the hill, and Mark for bringing drinks.
