At this last meeting Jason and Alice gave some excellent presentations on the strategy behind community building. At the August meeting we're going to look at ways to put these strategies to work!
We will be discussing (as a group, no presentations this month) the pros and cons of various community modules and fielding questions on how to implement specific community-oriented features.
Some possible topics of discussion include:
- Organic Groups VS forum module
- Polls, ratings & reviews
- Events calendars
- Managing subscriptions
- Handling content moderation
- Facebook connect & OpenID
- How to build robust user profiles with profile module & views
This meeting should be very hands on so a laptop and a test site to work on is suggested (but not required) for those attending.

It's up the block from the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Durham. One thing to note is the front door is actually around the back of the building. Look for folks milling around or a druplicon flyer on the door. Just in case you get lost or whatever email me at afreemannc@gmail.com and I'll send you my phone number.

Which is the "Lucky Strike Building" in the American Tobacco Campus.
Here's the best parking with "Google-able" addresses to the parking garage entrances (free) .... but people do have success finding stuff on the street (where the limited parking label is) or just parking close to the Mellow Mushroom.
