Southern Colorado (SCUG)

Our October meeting covered topics from site maps produced by the XMLSitemap module to a tutorial on the Ad (Advertisement) module to exploring the Context module to demos of some project management tools being used in Drupal projects.

For our November 5th meeting, we will have several demonstrations. One of our members is a sysadmin and he is putting up his first Drupal site for one of his customers. A very different perspective compared to approaching Drupal from a web developer or designer point of view.

After leaving our September meeting, several folks were going off to try projects from installing Drupal for the first time to implementing new modules.

By popular demand, our October 1 meeting will be "Things I Didn't Expect When I...". Attendees will give little mini-presentations of their projects and report back on things they learned, things that surprised them, and things they would do differently. If you think of it, post a comment here to say that you have a project that could fall under the category of "Things I Didn't Expect When I...".

If you missed our August meeting, our "Fix Our Site" session was very helpful for folks new to Drupal and to folks who had very specific Drupal questions. In the meeting, we:

• Reviewed our favorites from DrupalCamp Colorado
• Introduced CMS's, open source and Drupal
• Tackled real problems people were having with their sites
• Awarded our raffle prizes of the book "Learning Drupal" and the Drupal Cheat Sheet T-shirt.

Of course, we had plenty of time to get to know one another.

Our September meeting on September 3 will cover two broad topics:

Hey all,

We loved DrupalCamp so much we decided we'd keep the community momentum going. We're going to host an open house here on Thursday the 16th. We'll provide the beer, the wii, the balcony with a city view, and (hopefully!) some great company. You guys can provide yourselves and a commitment to having a good time!

Hi folks,

DrupalCamp Colorado organizers plan to provide complimentary breakfast for attendees on both days of the conference and complimentary lunch on one day. Here are our choices and prices (paid for by DrupalCamp, of course):

Breakfast:

1. PPA catered: Sunrise Breakfast at $5.50 per person. It includes assorted breakfast breads, pastries, bagels & croissants, butter and cream cheese. Coffee is $1 per cup. Total = $6.50-ish per person (if everyone drinks one cup of coffee).

This page is to help us keep track of who is doing what and also to recognize the many volunteers who put in countless hours to make Drupalcamp Colorado a great event.

If you'd like to help out with a task, contact the individual users. If you'd like to take care of something not listed on this wiki, add it and put your name next to it (if it requires a budget, we may not be able to provide it, but will do our best).

• signs for the rooms - Steve
  • sponsor logo placards for each room entrance: ~18x24 (x4) color on foamcore with easel

There's a growing number of libraries and library-like organizations using Drupal to manage various parts of their systems in Colorado. Having Amy Qualls-McClure come to Denver gives us an incentive to get folks together.

Location

Denver Open Media at 7th and Kalamath in Denver (this is where the monthly Denver Drupal User's Group meetings happen). Google maps can help you figure out bus or light rail options, or parking is available in a lot across the street.
