The Florida Drupal User's Group met this past Saturday - about 17 people were in attendance. The group broke down as follows:

• new to Drupal: 6
• less than 1 year: 7
• more than one year: 4

Thanks to Jay and MindComet for letting us use their facilities! If you have a need for Interactive Marketing, please check them out.

About a dozen Drupal developers met at Orlando Public Library yesterday to discuss Drupalcon Boston and future meetups in Orlando.

I gave a presentation about Drupalcon Boston covering Dries' keynote, the future of Drupal, and a quick summary of some of the sessions I attended. The rest of the time was spent with discussion introducing ourselves to each other and planning for future meetings and what we need to do to for the Florida group to gain some momentum.

The Orlando Fringe Festival is a non-profit theatre festival with some outstanding principles, and I really love these guys. I even helped them get their web site onto a CMS from static pages this year, but now I have run out of time.

We've gotten started setting up a system whereby people producing a show for the Fringe will be able to enter in their production's information themselves, saving the Festival staff hundreds of man-hours, and releasing them from some liability, because now 80 people can each make one mistake instead of one person making 80 mistakes. Hooray Drupal.
