Start: 
2008-02-13 18:00 US/Pacific - 2008-02-13 20:00 US/Pacific

At this point the topic is still up for grabs. If you or your company would like to show off a module or website you developed please post a comment.

We'll be at the Bus Project for the meeting and then if there's demand, we can step across the street to Produce Row. See the Google Map for directions to both locations.


If there's interest...

If there's interest, I could show the functionality of my sites. No real code customizations, but rather plugging in available modules and configuring appropriately. I could show some or all of:

A) Neighborhood website that incorporates several modules: CCK, Views, Panels, Aggregation, Weather, Collapsiblock, Email (Account Reminder and Notify, SEO module), Backup, TinyMCE, ... www.skylineridge.us

B) Using Drupal with CCK and Views to create a simple portal that manages a project team's activities, action items, and project documents (can't share the URL, as this is a private site)

C) Using the Spam module to control comment spam on a simple blog site www.writeintoyourlife.com

If there's interest let me know and I'll pull something together.

I find case studies/presentations interesting and helpful. Specifically regarding overall problems you had to solve and 'discoveries' about drupal that lead to guidelines and practices.

So I vote "go for it" to the above. But would suggest choosing just one site/example and going into more depth.


Conversation Topic: Sat. Drupal Dev Day

Could we pencil in 10 minutes of conversation for discussion regarding:

The idea = a full day of How To Drupal... seminars/lectures covering basic to advanced topics and hosted by Portland Drupal Group folks. Free to anyone.


i love it

Just wanted to ping everyone and remind you that the meeting is tomorrow night. Sounds like shifthappens will be doing a presentation on some of their sites.

Looking forward to seeing you all there,
andrew

Oh yay. I'll actually be in town for this one. Count me in. I've got a lot of great stuff from our lullabot theming workshops in L.A. we did last week. Presentations, sites, etc.

Let's rock this!


I'm afraid I'll have to miss

I'm afraid I'll have to miss the meeting tomorrow evening, but I'd love to see the materials from the theming workshops. I made it to the advanced development workshop in PDX a few weeks ago and learned some great new tricks. Any chance you can post them for those who can't make it?

Thanks, Lev


I'll do my best to make it
