Thanks to Dennis for organising Wednesday's meeting! We (sadeh, jehnich@drupal.org, ozyank@drupal.org, gains@drupal.org,) met up at the NSW Sports Club, which looks like a fantastic venue for future meetings, and discussed our Drupal experiences. It was fairly free flowing, with some good ideas for presentation topics for upcoming meetings as well as a general consensus to try and have regular meetings. It now occurs to me that this would be a great forum for raising Drupal awareness, and time should also be allocated for new comers/evaluators to ask how-to questions.

I'm proposing Thursday, January 16th 2008 for the next meeting. This gives everyone lots of time to add their comments regarding alternative dates/venues/presentation topics.

Sounds good

Sounds like it was a good time. Maybe it would be good to make it a little sooner? so we can aim for monthly meetings? I think this was one of the reasons our past efforts lost a little momentum. How about the 11th of Dec? or sometime that week.

December Meeting?

I don't see anything wrong with having a December meeting and that date is early enough in the month. I'll see if the venue is available on Wednesday, 12 December.

Most people who were present Wednesday night felt we should wait until January, though. Also, most people who voted felt Wednesday night's were best. I personally cannot make Tuesday nights.

If we were a bit more

If we were a bit more organized, maybe we could've joined in as a Drupal group. Oh well, How about that Thursday, the 13th, instead?

Thanks seconded...

I agree - thanks for organising the meeting. As a newb to Drupal the timing couldn't have been more appropriate. I picked up masses from the free flow of conversation, which will enable me to get up to speed quickly on getting my first Drupal website together.

As far as topics for future events are concerned:
Vital modules...
Secure programming...
Themeing...
History of creating actual sites - trials and tribulations...

Look forward to the next meeting, whichever date we settle on.

I'm available for a December

I'm available for a December meeting, and Thursdays work better for me. Nigel, did you say you are a member of the ACS? Would they be able to offer a venue alternative (in case Dennis isn't available on Thursday and unable to hook us up at the NSW Sports Club)?

ACS

Nigel's picture

Yes I'm a member of the ACS. They hold their meetings at Sydney Mechanics School of Arts. I'm not sure what the arrangements are for use of the facilities. I can look into this for something longer term, i.e. in the New Year. For December the Sports Club is fine by me if available...

Is the Thurs Dec 13 meet-up still on?

Hey all, is this Thursday still happening? I'm currently working on a Drupal site, I could share some ideas around development setup and deployment strategies.

Yep!

Can we confirm a venue for Jan?

Thursday Jan 16th sounds like a good day. I know Dennis wanted to stay on wednesdays, but thursdays work much better for me. There was also some talk at the meetup tonight about possibly getting a different venue, so hopefully we can confirm that.

If people are interested in more presentations, I'd like to see one on the project* modules or maybe some organic groups stuff.

Cheers,
Ryan

January Meet-up

I'll try to get this organised before the end of next week. BTW, Thursday is the 17th. Although 75% of the 8 people who responded to the poll preferred Wednesdays, we had plenty of people there last night and I am now able to make Thursdays as well.
