DrupalPGH: Pittsburgh and Southwestern Pennsylvania

I am writing to describe my recent efforts to learn Aegir and to invite interested folks to collaborate with me in the learning experience. (I did attend the meeting at Pitt earlier this year on Aegir, but I don't remember enough of the details.)

I recently set up an ubuntu server at home and installed Aegir, mostly following the great tutorial at: http://friendlydrupal.com/screencasts/how-install-aegir-drupal-hosting-p.... Also, some instructions at: http://www.wepoca.net/how-to-install-aegir-1x-ubuntu

So we've been talking about creating a [Non-g.d.o.] site for DrupalPGH for a while now, and the idea of creating a distribution to share with other local user groups would seem to fulfill that need, give us an interesting topic to discuss and build, and create a tool for other user groups. Question is, what should such a distro look like? Are other user groups interested in such a thing? I know many groups have non-g.d.o. sites, the content and functionality seems to vary quite a bit.

Hi all,
Just wanted to throw out several things. Maybe we can pick them up at Tuesday's meeting, or we can discuss here.

First, two modules I created for specific sites, but which I think might be useful to the community of some better programmers got their hands on them and abstracted them out for broader use-cases. Mark Frey and I met today, and we thought it might be interesting to have a code sprint (or something similar) to work on these and then give them back to the community.

Another mont's gotten away from me, and here we are at first monday again. I actually can't make the meetup tonight, and it doesn't seem that one's been planned. So we have a few options:
