It was a good night.<br /> If you'd like to do a talk or have a topic you'd like someone else to talk about at the next meeting, please post something here to let us all know. I'm hoping to put together something about theming in Drupal 6, but other suggestions are more than welcome.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/north-west-uk">North West UK</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/8239#comments North West UK Thu, 17 Jan 2008 06:44:11 +0000 mcjim 8239 at http://groups.drupal.org
