After a two-year absence, Startup Weekend is returning to NYC! SWNY
brings together entrepreneurs—designers, developers, product managers,
and more—for an intense weekend of collaboration that results in a
product being launched in 54 hours. It'll be held next weekend (nov
20-22) at Sun Microsystems. Awesome work will be done, David Kidder
(Clickable) will be speaking, Sun and Sun Startup Essentials will be
supporting, press will be there, and the event will be a part of
Global Entrepreneurship Week. Go to http://nyc.startupweekend.org/tickets/ to sign up.

As the organizer of the DrupalNYC Happy Hour, I've taken it upon myself to organize the DrupalCampNYC 7 Kickoff Party. Our gracious hosts at the House of Brews will be hosting the party and providing appetizers. For those of you who have not attended the DrupalNYC Happy Hour, House of Brews has an incredible beer selection, including gluten-free and organic options.

The October 14th Drupal NYC meetup is a day before the end of the Drupal 7 code slush, so we obviously are going to have a small code sprint. But this doesn't mean we can't have a wonderful design talk about beginner Drupal theming and grid patterns! There are still some open discussion slots available, so please submit your ideas.

The DrupalNYC monthly confab at House of Brews will be on Wednesday September 30th.

We have a nice cosy private room and these evenings have been really great. This time round there will probably be a lot of informal discussion of Drupalcon Paris since there wasn't a lot of formal discussion of this at the monthly meetup.

Hi Everyone:

So I know of some well-known organizations and companies who are using Drupal for their community child sites and/or primary sites. However, I am just curious to know of some particular enterprise sites that are 1) using Drupal and 2) may have a user population anywhere from 500 - 10,000+. I'm trying to compile a list to show that Drupal can be used to archive information secure for a large online and active audience.

Thanks.

The main topic for this meet-up will be Views. Using, themeing, etc. Sorry for the delay. I hope people can still fit this in their calendars.

Please sign up so we have a rough estimate of how many people will attend. Also, if you have particular questions/problems regarding Views, please post them. That way we'll have a better idea of what everyone needs help with.

Again, held at the Institute for Advanced Study.

What is DrupalCamp?

DrupalCamp Hudson Valley will be a 1 day "no-holds-barred discussion, workshop/code-a-thon involving the Free Software content management system Drupal." Here you can learn about what drupal is, what it can do, and how to setup your own drupal website for yourself or your group. If you've already been using drupal it is a great opportunity to get answers to your questions from drupal experts and find out about new modules and the state-of-the art of drupal. There will be breakout rooms as well for those looking to discuss specific topics and collaborate on projects.

Join us on Sunday, August 16th for a Drupal Hackathon in New York. We will split up into a number of different groups to work on:

OAuth: Polish the distributed authentication of the Services module with OAuth.

• Rob Loach
• zroger (Roger López)
• Jingsheng Wang (skyred)

Performance: Pre-generation of content, taking security into consideration.

• litwol (Oleg Terenchuk)

Media: File and image handling

• Drewish (Andrew Morton)
• Darrel O'Pry (Dopry)

Theming: Advanced Techniques

• John Zavocki (johnvsc)
• Nikki Henninger (nikkiana)
• Jacine Rodriguez

DrupalCon Paris is coming up quickly, so August's Drupal NYC meet will consist of mental (and physical) preparations for DrupalCon through a discussion of our favorite Modules For That, and a performance tuning discussion with litwol.
