Hi again valley drupalers and web geeks.
This group slipped into a bit of a hiatus. Personally, I haven't put forth the effort to organize any meetups for a while - turns out a new job and new (~4-month old) twins at home keep a guy busy :)
Hopefully there are still some folks hanging on here. Would love to spark up some discussions and resurrect the monthly meetups, too (co-organizers plz step forward!).
And of course there is the epicness of Drupalcon Denver imminent... anybody attending?
cheers

Are you working on any drupal projects this summer? Thinking about starting a Drupal project? Care to share how you first discovered Drupal? Or what you want to see in Drupal's future? Show and tell in the comments... anything goes!
[Update: Voting Uh, broken?] Quick Poll: Which day of the week would you most likely attend an evening Drupal user group meetup?
Theming topics
Hello all!
I'm helping Matt organize the next meet-up. He was thinking of focusing on Drupal 7 Theming. I'd like to collect your questions on theming so we can get a presentation of some kind prepared. Would you give me some ideas on what you'd find helpful? Thank you!

June Meetup: Wed 6/1
Okay the month of May is a wash; let's get back on track in June, starting WEDNESDAY, THE 1ST OF THE MONTH!... At the Krondek offices again.
Bring your drupal problem, challenge, question, or whatever you've been pulling your hair out about lately, and we'll spend some time on it as a group.
I'll do a dump of my experience at Drupalcamp Twin Cities, and we'll talk about designing & theming for Drupal, too!
cheers

Hiya group!
I'm off to Drupalcamp Twin Cities tomorrow (5/19), and I'd also still like to squeeze in a May meeting. If you're up for a meetup on Tuesday the 24th, drop a note in the comments. I think we'll meet at Krondek again, but I'll need to confirm with Justin & Ben (or drop a note in the comments!).
For those who've recently joined, our meetups generally run from 7pm to about 10pm, but of course you are welcome to pop in and out as your schedule allows.

Contract Drupal Developer Needed | Airo Marketing, Inc
Our site HailAppointments.com needs security updates, some simple customization. We already have a new design for the site and need to implement that as well. Fairly small project but we may have many more for the right individual. Please email your credentials to hr@ airoinc.com.
Let's meet again...
Holy moly it's already March!
I had such big ideas for things to demo at the next meeting and haven't had the time to work on any of them. However, I did find out I'm going to be a proud papa of twins in October, crazy! I'm told it will be a slight bit more challenging than hosting a multi-site drupal installation. o_O
I'd love to do another meeting this month, however next week doesn't work for me 'cos I'll be in Chicago for DRUPALCON... so, question... who is interested in meeting the week following Drupalcon?... I am thinking Tuesday the 15th, or possibly Thursday the 17th.
Read moreMeetup Topics (wiki)
Here are some of the ideas I jotted down for inclusion in upcoming meetups...
- [More] Advanced installation options
- shared databases, managing deployments and maximizing maintainability, sites.php, etc
Drupalcon Chicago, anyone?
I bought my Drupalcon ticket today... though I've been at least tinkering with Drupal for nearly 7 years now, this'll be my first Drupalcon.
Anyone else attending?
