I want to thank Todd Newell for offering the use of the WTAMU Enterprise Center, and even providing fresh Roaster's coffee for us. There's a rumor he may even bring other refreshments, but I'm not going to hold him to that. He's doing enough already. Thanks Todd!

March Amarillo Meetup
March Amarillo Drupal Meetup
- Location: Roasters on Georgia
- Date/Time: Wednesday March 18 at 4:00 pm.
I've moved the event a week later than originally scheduled so I can recover from Drupalcon DC a bit, and plan out a little more of what to present. The tentative agenda is for Justin and I to talk about what we saw, heard, and did at Drupalcon. I think we pretty much attended totally different sessions (there were often 7 simultaneous sessions), so we'll have a lot to talk about.
