Event type: 
User group meeting

Please make yourself welcome at the inaugural meetup for the South Wales Drupal User Group!

We'll be meeting in the communal area just outside of the SubHub HQ, at:

4, The Studios
3 Burt Street
Cardiff
CF10 5FZ

No real heavyweight agenda set as yet, but I'm personally hoping we can use the time to:

a. Eat some pizza
b. Get to know each other a bit
c. Decide on what the user group is for
d. Figure out what to do together online, and in future meetups

As stated previously, we can probably comfortably fit in about 15 people before it gets uncomfortable and crowded. If it gets too crazy, we might also have to adjourn to a nearby pub or something - you never know what'll happen at a Drupal meetup :P

Oh that's a shame. :(

I was going to use the time to see what sort of things people want to cover in future meetups. If there's anything you're particularly interested in, or want to know more about - especially if it's something you know that someone else has been doing - maybe you could update here with any ideas?

tdimg, superb - be great to have you there!

Guys, in true Welsh fashion, I'm proper looking forward to this, should be good :)

Big up to instanceofjamie and SubHub for organising it, I'm sure it'll be a great first meet-up, the first of many I'm sure!

See you all tomorrow :)

Edit: P.S. Can't sign my mate up, but he's still coming too.

Nearly time!

Hi all,

thanks for all the responses, and again, sorry to see tim and oliver won't be making it.

The best way to get hold of me if you're struggling finding us is probably to @ me on twitter, you'll find me at http://twitter.com/instanceofjamie - or alternatively email jamie@subhub.com. I'm fairly sure the office phones will all be on divert that late in the day, so they wouldn't be much help ;-)

We've put a sign up by the door buzzer today, so it ought to be more obvious how to find us.

Hope you all find us with no problems, and thanks once again!

That's the one! In between Blueberry Bears Day Nursery (awww), and Aquaplan. We're on the top floor.

Thanks again...

wespacker's picture

Well, I very much enjoyed myself last night guys. Thanks once again.

Jamie: could you pass on my sincere thanks to your directors and the rest of your team for the use of your space (and the pizza)?

See you all in a month-ish hopefully!

jonthomas83's picture

+1 to that, was good to meet you all. And am sincerely looking forward to the next one.

I've set up a discussion here for November here http://groups.drupal.org/node/98164

Thanks to SubHub and Jamie for organising it, you all did a cracking job.

...my mate still needs a bit of convincing about Drupal though (he's still talking about Joomla! arrgh!)!

hi,

what do people think of this? http://drupalize.me/blog/201306/wed-sponsor-your-user-group drupalize me are offering free access to their resources for any meetup. I've not seen any of their stuff, is it worth it?
