Agenda
An Introduction to Mobilizing your Drupal Website
The mobile web is nigh! How can you take your existing Drupal site and create a 'mobile version' optimized for browsing on mobile devices? This talk will provide an introduction to this concept with code examples and useful links.
Oliver Walker is a website builder who works for VentureWeb Design Ltd. in Squamish B.C. . He is neither a drupal expert nor a mobile expert but hopes he can shed some light on this topic after recently completing a mobile site for a client build.
All are encouraged to attend: those who want to understand how to take their Drupal website mobile, and those who have experience in the mobile sphere who might like to share their ideas and contribute to the discussion.
Our Thanks
We wish to thank Appnovation Technologies for hosting this month's meeting.

Filming of Presentation?
Will this presentation be recorded at all?
I'm super interested in the presentation, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get to the meetup!
Slides
Thanks for the opportunity to present last night. Was lots of fun!
Here are the slides:

I've changed some of the slides to try and describe what I did when I was in the 'demonstration' part of the presentation. Hopefully it makes sense (the slides only go so far without seeing it in action!).
If anyone has an specific questions, please do leave a comment below or send me a message. I encourage anyone interested in developing a mobile version of an existing Drupal site to download and play around with the mobile_tools module.
Cheers,
Olly
