At a recent Koumbit meeting, we came up with a proposition to build a little momentum around Drupal in our beautiful city, by having regular themed meetups once a month, the second Friday (@BP) one month and the second Saturday (@WiFi) the other. This brings us to this Friday, when you're all invited to Bande-Passante (@BP: 8655 Saint-Denis, next to métro Crémazie) from 19h to 22h to talk Drupal. In March, we could meet Saturday the 8th in the afternoon at any Café with wifi (île sans fil map). Leave a comment to suggest a bugfix for the schedule, location or format :)
Please RSVP if you're logged in.
Here's what the schedule would look like for the next few months, along with suggested themes (meaning 30 minutes or so of the meetup will be used for a demo, screencast, etc.):
Friday February 8th 19h @BP - screencast : d6 + i18n
Saturday March 8th 13h @WiFi - back from boston drupalcon
Friday April 11th 19h @BP - drupal 6 goodies
Saturday May 10th 13h @WiFi - hostmaster2
Friday June 13th 19h @BP - ...
Saturday July 12th 13h @WiFi - ...
Friday August 8th 19h @BP - ...
Saturday September 13th 13h @WiFi - ...
Friday October 10th 19h @BP - ...
Saturday November 8th 13h @WiFi - ...
Friday December 12th 19h @BP - ...

Good idea/Bonne idée
I like the idea of setting a long term schedule. It should help get more people to participate.
However, themes suggestions should not cover more than 2 months in advance since things can change so quickly with Drupal.
I'll try to be there Friday.

You're right about seeing to
You're right about seeing to far ahead with the schedule, I was trying to give an idea. And like I said, the theme won't cover the whole meetup, it's still gonna be quite friendly :)
Thank you SO much!
It's great to see these starting up again, and with a regular meeting schedule too! Wow! ;)
I'll miss tomorrow's sadly, as I'm going to be at SCALE presenting at the Women in Open Source event. :( But I'll definitely try and make it down for March 8 to brain-dump about Drupalcon!!
good topic for tonight
thanks again for organizing these, koumbit folks. although, 19h is a little late for me -- any interest in doing these earlier? if between 9h and 17h weekdays doesn't work for people we could try from 17h to 19h.
anyways, i'll be there tonight, and i like your choice of topic for tonight, but i may have to leave early.
Enjoy the evening, folks,
Enjoy the evening, folks, I'm still out of the country, so won't be making it. The March 8 one would be good as I will be at Drupalcon too, but I think I'll be heading for Ontario that day - gotta check my schedule. I guess I'll leave it to Angie to report back :)
17h to 19h on a weekday
I'm fine with that, let's see what the others think.
