Event

Stephen Colson of the CMS Website Development Firm, Switchback, will give us a tour of the Coder Module - http://drupal.org/project/coder

A developer module that assists with code review and version upgrade. The module supports a plug-in extensible hook system so contributed modules can define additional review standards.

We're putting our heads and our ideas and our skills together to launch startup companies in one marathon weekend. Startup Weekend has been bringing these exciting, community-building weekends to cities all across the country.

Our next meeting will be held on May 27th 2008 at 7pm. This is a Tuesday as our regular time falls on the Memorial day holiday .

The future is here, real tv on your pc. Zattoo is streaming tv to your pc. Awesome, I want some. And guess what they use? Drupal! Smart kids.

May’s Refresh Detroit meeting will be on the 21st, from 6:30 to 8:30 at the downtown Ann Arbor District library in Ann Arbor.  Map to the location .

When building a Drupal e-commerce site you have two (pure Drupal) choices:

1. e-Commerce has been around since 2004 and has many supporting modules.
2. Ubercart is the new kid on the block but seems to be doing very well.

The A2Drupal user group is turning 1!

Thank you Mike Oconnor (of Jackson) for making the first connection. So in your honor I invite the Jackson user group to come once again to Ann Arbor to help me celebrate my first Drupal meeting. I'm throwing a birthday party for the A2Drupal users group!

Of course, everyone is invited!

Happy Birthday A2Drupal!

Drupal 6.0 is free and in the wild. Let's load it!

I will do a live install of Drupal 6 along with a bunch of great contributed modules. Let's see how far we can push this new Drupal.
There are already over 120 contributed modules with atleast a development version for Drupal 6. Really!!

This will be a great event to bring someone new with you. It's time for you to spread the love that Drupal has paid to all of us over the last version. The wave is rising, let's ride!

Happy New Year!

Congratulations monan on the birth of your new baby!

So as i look forward to our next meeting (28Jan08) I wonder what we should talk about. This is your group, take control and suggest some agenda for our next meeting. Better yet, offer to lead us in something. Doesn't matter that you are new to Drupal and/or this group. I often use the approaching meeting as motivation to learn something new.

Just bark out suggestions as comments below.

The last Monday of the month in December is the 31st. This doesn't seem like a good night to hold a meeting. I'm going to be out of town anyway.

See you in the New Year!
Drink but don't drink and drive.

I have this one - http://alcotester.com/al-2500.htm
Fits nicely in my pocket.
Knowledge is a good thing. A poor guess can be criminal.

Our next meeting will address the question, "Taxonomy - What is it and what can it do for me?"

I know our last meeting was just two nights ago. But it is clearly time for a discussion on taxonomy. Let's see if we can't get a discussion going before the meeting and set ourselves up to delve deep into taxonomy at our next meeting.

For simplicity sake, Ontology and Taxonomy are the same thing.
