Don't forget - we've got our regular meetup this week at the ABC.
Thanks to everyone who attended our July meetup and to those that came out for DrupalCamp Sydney last month.
This month we will return to our normal structure, with a presentation and some support questions.
When: Thursday, August 19th
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:30pm for firm 7pm start!!)
Venue: ABC Centre 700 Harris Street, Ultimo ( Map | Directions )
Venue Details
The ABC Centre has some security issues, so it is important that people arrive early and sign in at the security desk so that we can take everyone into the building at once. Everyone just waits and chats in the lobby, so just look around for us if you're new. If you have problems you can call either of us. Many thanks go to the ABC for providing this venue.
Parking is possible at parking meters around Thomas street and Mary-Anne street. But they take a 2 hour max i think. There are carparks behind the ABC $15 (enter from Thomas street, but on the Chinatown side). Also, you can get all-evening parking at the Citigate (I think that's the name) parking station for (updated) $10 (starting after 5pm, I think, and stays open until well after midnight). It's at the end of the Thomas street dead end (Eastern/Chinatown side), which is very close to the ABC's back entrance.

Call for presentors
A short follow up - we've had a few people drop out of the original schedule this year (http://groups.drupal.org/node/46530) including one next month.
We're looking to confirm the schedule for the rest of the year and need some volunteers to present something they have learned or built this year. Please post below or contact me directly if you're interested.
Thanks!

5 min talk on Drupal in London
I went to a few Drupal meetings when over in London recently. For this meetup I wouldn't mind doing a very brief talk on my experiences over there and make a few observations.
