User group meeting

You are invited to attend an informational, hands-on workshop jointly sponsored by the Iowa Drupal Users Group (aka DrupalCorn) and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ames (UUFA).

Michael Hofmockel will offer information about setting up Drupal websites and guide participants through a Drupal install and a basic website creation. Chris White will present a case study based on the UUFA website. DrupalCorn members will be on hand to answer questions and help you create your website.

When? Saturday, February 6, 2010, from 1–5pm

Where? At the UUFA, 1015 N. Hyland, Ames, IA

How much will this cost? Only 4 hours of your time.

Who should attend? People who . . . want to build a new website . . . want to migrate from static web pages to an open-source CMS that is loaded with features supported by a vibrant community . . . want to know more about Drupal . . . you!

Why should you attend? You’ll learn about and experience Drupal’s powerful features first hand and come away with tools you can use right away.

What will you take away? A download loaded with the latest version of Drupal, some essential Drupal modules, copies of MAMP and XAMPP (creates a server environment on your computer!), handouts, and a list of resources. Connections with others also interested in Drupal.

What should you bring? Bring a laptop so you can experience Drupal

Why are we doing this? To spread the word about Drupal, to help UUFA members understand and use their new website, and to build DrupalCorn.

Get the word out

Michael Hofmockel's picture

The most helpful thing at this point is getting the word out. We have not left much time for marketing and are relying heavily on word of mouth. Tell everyone. Post referral links to here.

Thanks.

Sorry, Feb. 6 is Iowa HS State Large Group Speech contest and I have a group of kids who advanced to the competition. Got to be in Marion on the 6th. Also just FYI... Would love to make the postponed IDUG meeting on Monday (Feb. 1) but I have a school board meeting that night.
