February Missoula Drupal Weekday Meetup on 2/18 4:00 pm

Posted by laken on February 9, 2010 at 11:20pm

Start:

2010-02-18 16:00 - 18:00 America/Denver

Organizers:

Event type:

User group meeting

Only local images are allowed.
Since some of our members indicated that weekdays worked best for them, we'll be trying out a monthly meetup on the third Thursday at 4:00pm.

We'll kick it off Thursday, February 18th starting at 4:00 pm in the Board Room at the Missoula Public Library. These meetups are a great chance to talk with other Drupal developers, learn more about the websites being built with Drupal, and get a better understanding of the open source framework and the community.

If you think you'll be there, please use the 'sign up' button below to indicate your RSVP.

We'll start with introductions, followed by a round of presentations from whoever shows up. This is a chance for anyone to take the floor and talk about something they're working on - a module, a website, or anything Drupal related. If you want to present, please speak up! Post about it in the comments and we'll add you to the meetup announcement, and of course come ready to talk.

Since this is one of our first 'official' meetings, I will be prepared to give a presentation on some of the new features in Drupal 7.

The Board Room at the library is equipped with an LCD projector, so if you want, bring (or commandeer) a laptop to show your site, code, or whatever you want. We are welcome to bring snacks and drinks as long as we leave the room clean when we leave.

Hope to see you there!

Probably Won't Make It

I have company in town that week, so chances are I won't be able to make it to this meeting. I'm still very interested, of course, and should be able to attend most meetings.

Can't do meetings during the day

Posted by hajush on February 13, 2010 at 7:06pm

I should have read the meeting notice more carefully. I was looking forward to the meeting that was originally going to be today, and also to the weekday meetings - but 4-6 is just not possible for me.

Is there some chance we can have an evening or weekend meeting at some point - even if only occasionally?

  Thanks,
  Harold

We will have evening meetings!

I understand that not everyone can meet during the workday – I scheduled the 3rd Thursday meetings for 4pm because a few group members had requested that time (let's hope they show up!)

We'll also be doing evening meetups, the first one of will be Tuesday March 2nd @ 7:00pm – Save the date! I'll be posting the official event announcement in this group as soon as I have a location nailed down.

I really would like to go!

But I can't either. I will definitely be at the March 2nd meeting.

Great, look for the

Can't Make it Either

Thanks everyone who came last Thursday. I think we had seven or eight people which was a good size for the room. It was nice to take time for introductions and some unstructured time for folks to talk about what they are looking to get out of the group.

I am thankful my hands-on demo of how to set up a podcasting site in Drupal and get it working in iTunes finally worked, and I appreciate your patience! Some people have asked me for a link to the site we built and I am going to be setting that up soon so you can see it, but in the meantime here's a video that covers one part of the demo I gave: http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode19

Our next meeting will be Tuesday March 2 at 7pm, location TBD. I'll be posting the official announcement soon!
