Meeting tonight
Is there an agenda/timeline for tonight's meeting? If you are still looking for someone to take notes, I will be willing.
Unfortunately I am unable to
Unfortunately I am unable to attend tonight due to other obligations but I am interested in participating and my offer to help with audio recording stands. ONe thought I have had is something simple like a USB mic would suit the task well and provide clear intelligible recordings.
We'll set the agenda based on
We'll set the agenda based on who's there, but tentatively it looks like:
Define purpose of the site
Brainstorm ways to make the site valuable / accomplish the purpose
Prioritize features
Break priority features into tasks
Determine who is responsible for tasks
Set time line for next meeting
Along the way, we'll be working out the best ways to communicate as we proceed.
We'd love to see you there, and note takers are awesome.
I have to Cancel
I'm interested in the project, but have been unavoidably pulled away tonight.
Sala kahle,
Grant
Curious to hear how this
Curious to hear how this went. What's the scoop?
Cheers,

Here's a brief wrap-up
More than ten folks showed up for the meeting. Beforehand, mikey_p set up an OpenAtrium project on drupalpdx.org. We agreed that the site is a supplement to groups.drupal.org and jhedstrom will be working to ensure that our efforts are appropriately coordinated with the drupal community at large. The site's purpose, roughly put, will be to provide recognition of the folks who donate their time presenting and providing support to the local user group and to showcase the local drupal community. (The statement of purpose is a to-do item and will be refined!) The site will not be a sort of a Better Business Bureau for local drupal developers.
During the meeting we identified the following features: Profiles, Presentation Proposals, Events, Feature Server, Portfolios, Guidelines, Presentation Notes, Newbie Program, Jobs, Module Review, Video/Audio content, Blogs, Discussion Forums, and Drupal Camp. Someone stepped up to take responsibility for most of these, and we are using OpenAtrium to commuicate.
The next concrete step will be a meeting (looking like sometime the first week of March) to learn to check out a development copy from github. Mikey_p is setting up guidelines for our development best practices and how to get changes deployed to the site. After that meeting, we'll have a better idea how to get more people involved. Look to hear about it at the next user group meeting and here on groups.drupal after usergroup meeting.
