Austin Meetup on Sat, 2/09/08, 2-5 pm @ St. Edward's University. Topic: Lightning Talks
Who
Calling all Central Texas Drupalers! Meetups are very informal and Drupal users of all levels - new users to expert users - are encouraged to attend and participate.
What
It's time for another Austin Drupal Users Group Meetup! Walt has suggested a Lightning Talks format.
When
Saturday, February 9th 2-5 pm.
Where
St. Edward's University, Trustee Hall, room 205
PLEASE NOTE: If you're not already familiar with the St. Edward's campus, I suggest printing a copy of the PDF map. I checked with campus police and parking is open on the weekends, with the exception of handicap and residence hall spots.
Why
The Austin DUG wants YOUR participation and your fellow Drupalers want to meet you, make new friends/professional contacts, and learn about how you're using Drupal.

Yes, I'll be there
Thanks for coordinating this Matt. I'll be there and I'll bring a lightning talk topic too.
Awesome, thanks Matt!
I'll be there and I'll present a lightning talk topic, most likely either Advanced Profile or Organic Groups.

Topic
I wish I could come, but my family has something planned that weekend. In the next event I could do a presentation on advanced theme configuration using lesser known tpl techniques (such as using alternative includes in the page.tpl.php or the search-block.tpl.php to use an image for the search submit button) and the use of php varibles to control css.
Web design, Drupal theming, and logo design:

planning to make this one
I have a bicycle ride scheduled in the morning, but I'm going to try and make this one.
Term node counts with parents
SELECT COUNT( tn.nid ) , t.name, parent_td.name AS parent
FROM
term_nodetnINNER JOIN term_data t ON t.tid = tn.tid
INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid = tn.nid
LEFT OUTER JOIN term_hierarchy th ON th.tid = tn.tid
LEFT OUTER JOIN term_data parent_td ON parent_td.tid = th.parent
WHERE n.status =1
GROUP BY tn.tid
Taxonomy API functions:

So sorry I missed!
Rats! I was so busy last week that I didn't see this till Monday. I'm looking forward to a report and the next opportunity!
Happy day,
Anne
signup.module is now being used on this site = reminder email
Hi Anne,
As of late last week, groups.drupal.org has now started using the signup.module which will send everyone that signs up a reminder email.
The reminder email will go out one (1) day prior to the event. So if folks sign up for the 3/29 event, which I encourage them to do, they should get a reminder email on 3/28.
I also try to send out a broadcast email to all 100+ Austin group subscribers at least a week prior to an event to give folks a heads up since not everyone visits this site regularly.

followup on category listings
Thanks for the feedback Saturday on my category listings questions.
I did add an exposed filter to my archive index page as suggested.
To get category listings, I wrote a custom module to do it. I posted about it on my blog. I'd welcome any feedback on the module.
