Agenda
- Introductions
- Who are you? What brings you to this Drupal Meetup? What do you do? How do you use Drupal? What are your websites? For what companies do you work?
- Welcome to Drupal Newcomers
- A Quick Introduction to Drupal (when those new to Drupal are present)
- Group Business
- Selection of Presentations and Activities for Future Meetups
-
Presentations, Discussions, Hands-On Exercises and other Activities
- Top 40 Common Modules and Top 40 Uncommon Modules.
We will continue our exploration of the top 40 Drupal modules commonly included on Drupal websites in conjunction with an exploration of the top 40 uncommon but highly useful Drupal modules. The common modules should be important to everyone and their presentation particularly important to those new to Drupal. The uncommon but useful modules will keep things interesting for experienced Drupalists. We will begin with a fast introduction to the two top 40 lists and over a period of time examine some of these modules in greater depth.
- Top 40 Common Modules and Top 40 Uncommon Modules.
-
Informal Group Discussion
- What have you been doing with Drupal? What help do you need with Drupal? What assistance or resources can you provide with Drupal to other Meetup attendees?

Comments
We might have a space.
How many people are you expecting?
I have checked with my boss and my company, ForeSite Technologies, would be willing to host. We are right on the river in East Hartford.
Unfortunately, we have a relatively small conference room. We have had 20 people in it, but that gets pretty tight.

Hello Clayton,
Thanks for offering. I think your space would be fine. I would just double check with Mark
We might see a small spike in attendance since this is the first central CT meetup following Drupal Camp but usually it's under 20.
