Hi BenC
When and where is it? Hope to send some of our team members to learn more about Drupal.
Thanks!
Manila Meet Up (ortigas) - Pick a Sked
To Jan and everyone else who wish to attend. Thank you for signifying interest in the Meet Up at Ortigas. Here are the tentative Skeds. Please indicate all your available dates, so we can finalize.
Our Sponsor for this meet up: DIG IT ALL SOLUTIONS INC will be providing the resource persons for the sessions.
[To mrncaballero -- usap tayo next time para sa mga sponsors you are eyeing :) ]
Venue:
Right now, we are expecting not more than 10 participants, so we are thinking of going to Gloria Jeans in Megamall, or any cafe at Robinsons (to take advantage of free Wifi). If we're too many, we may change the venue to the DIG IT ALL SOLUTIONS office in Ortigas at San Miguel Ave.
TOPICS:
Our first meet up will focus on the power of Drupal (not necessarily in this order).
Installing and Configuring Drupal
The Power of Drupal Categories
Instant Web Databases, using the cck/Views module
REQUIREMENTS:
Those who wish to follow the step by step demos, please bring laptops, preferrably with WiFi. The laptop should have AMP pre-installed (Apache, MySQL, PHP) and Drupal!
Those who wish to understand cck/Views module, please preinstall cck + Views modules.
Those who wish to follow the Categories demo, just have Drupal installed -- Categories module is built in.

Vote on the Poll (What Sked do you Prefer?)
I've also created a poll so you can vote on the sked. (Pero dito, one choice lang ang pwede).

Pinoy Drupal Power for newbies like me!
O, next week na pala ang event na'to.
Exciting! Do we have a vicinity map? Hindi kasi ako palagi sa Ortigas-MetroManila area eh.
I wish to bring along some of my friends/client-friends pero nakakahiya naman pag isang basketball team ang dumating.
Palagay ko, kung hindi uulan or babagyo (hwag naman sana), this event will be successful. (Sorry sa Taglish)
map, attendance, etc
Thanks for replying. Taglish is okay! and yes, exciting nga!
Gising ka pa hehe. As soon as we finalize the venue, we can send out a map. Megamall and Robinsons Galle are pretty much easy to find (in case sa Gloria Jeans tayo). If we end up in the Dig It All Solutions office in Ortigas, that's just a walk away from Megamall.
We are surveying the attendance para makapaghanda ng mas malaking venue, if ever, para masaya!

Our SFD Experience
We have written short assesments during the past celebrations. In 2005, CPU organized the 2nd SFD with about 200 participants - students, enthusiasts, geeks. We even have Mandrake developers joining us before they proceeded to Australia. The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Manila Bulletin wrote articles about the event.
In 2004, we also organized the very first SFD. This was participated by users and newbies in free and open source software. Businessworldonline introduced CPU and SFD to the public on that year.
In 2006, University of the Philippines Linux Users' Group organized the event. UnPLUG won a community award for deployment from Software Freedom International.
