After 3pm, there is an unattended MIT lot folks can use. It is Hayward Lot http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=P5
Lightning Talks
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to present for 10 minutes on a topic of their choosing. You may show off your Drupal site, ask some questions of the audience, give a module demonstration, share some marketing ideas for Drupal, and so on. Just keep it brief. No expertise or planning required - just do it.
Dinner
After the meetup, some of us will continue the conversation over dinner at MIT's Muddy Charles Pub. We will likely pre-order some pizza so it meets us there. We'll take a count about half way through the meeting.
Please plan on bringing $10 to participate in pre-ordering food and some drinks.

website in drupal
I have a company with a website in drupal. There is a problem with the site that I cannot upload to it. The oiginal programmer is not that familiar with drupal that he can fix it. We are located near Boston.
Is there anyone in this organization that can be of assistance in working with our website?
Sincerely, Carl Canner Carlcan@AOL.com

Suggested distribution and waiting for D7
I have a talent agency that has asked me to build a database for them to showcase their actors, models, voices etc. on their website. The time-frame is not overly urgent although I do want to start work on it soon. My thought is that I should really wait for the upcoming Drupal 7 release since this site\application will likely be heavily using CCK and Views.
Does that make sense?
Also does anyone have any recipes or distributions they suggest I check out which might fit this niche? Essentially lots of profiles with video, audio and picture fields sorted in various ways by gender, age, style etc.
See you all next week.

I would go with Drupal 6,
I would go with Drupal 6, still. Drupal 7 is much better in terms of more updated modules on release, but CCK and Views are both mature on D6, and there's a really good chance at some point you'll be asked to do something that requires a feature D6 has in a module, but isn't around for a while in D7.
I don't think you'd need a special profile, just CCK and Views as you suggested and that sounds fairly straightforward.

This sounds like a great fit for developing on DrupalGardens.

Scor to lead the meeting
Hi all. Unfortunately, I can't make this meetup. I have a coaches meeting for my daughter's soccer team. Stephane Corlosquet, aka Scor, will lead the meeting. Have fun and I'll see you in October.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the advice you offered for the site I am developing for the Boston chapter of the AMC. I now have a drop-down list to choose an activity committee (a Taxonomy vocabulary). The Node Comment module looks as if it will do what I want, although I need to find some time to try it out.
My Tuesdays are booked for the next several months, but I will come back when I can!
