getting started

The second monthly meeting of the Florida Drupal group met on Saturday, May 17 at MindComent's offices in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Attendance was great, with 8 new people in addition to 10 who also attended the April meeting.

Joe Moraca gave a "getting started with Drupal" talk that covered everything from downloading the code from Drupal.org to transitioning from a development server to a production server. Some of the many topics touched on were:

• Downloading Drupal
• Resources on Drupal.org

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.
