Downtown Drupal Meetup at Sensis Agency on April 2, 2013: Installation Profiles (What Are They & What Do They Do?)
The next Downtown Drupal meetup is on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 and will be at Sensis Agency in Downtown Los Angeles. Those interested in attending this meetup remotely are welcome to join us via WebEx.
At this meetup, we're having our usual news and announcements, as well as raffle prizes, featured presentations and lightning talks (which are short, bite-sized presentations).
Installation Profiles: What Are They & What Do They Do?
One of Greater Los Angeles Drupal's organizers, Christefano Reyes (@christefano), presents on the topic of Drupal installation profiles.
Installation profiles are packaged Drupal distributions that ship with out-of-the-box functionality aimed at solving specific business use cases, such as extranet / intranet sites (OpenAtrium), social networks for businesses (Drupal Commons), coworking space management systems (Otto), e-commerce sites (Commerce Kickstart) and even security-hardened Drupal sites (Guardr).
This presentation will include demonstrations of the aforementioned installation profiles and include time for questions and answers.
We have time for additional presentations at this meetup. Is there a presentation topic that you're interested in? Post a comment below to either request or offer a presentation, or contact one of the organizers listed above. Thanks you!

Drupal 6 end of life when Drupal 8 is released… or not?
At the Boston Drupal meetup that was at Acquia this month, several presentations were focused on "what's new in Drupal 8" from the view of several people who now work at Acquia. I loved it. There were other presentations, as well (including one of my own!), and I really enjoyed seeing the Boston Drupal group again after many months.
During the questions and answers part of the meetup, I asked Dries if he was considering naming a security maintainer for Drupal 6 when Drupal 8 is released. (In case you didn't know, support for Drupal 6 will be discontinued by the Drupal core and security teams. See the handbook page on backwards compatibility at https://drupal.org/node/65922 for more, including Dries' original statement on the subject in 2006.)

Drupal meetups are officially back in Ventura County! We're kicking off our new series of Drupal After Dark outings and monthly Ventura Drupal meetings with Introductions & Users Helping Users at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Westlake Village, CA, on Wednesday, April 24, 2013, from 6:00-8:00pm. Join us!
There aren't any formal presentations scheduled for this event. Instead, we'll be getting together and talking tech and Drupal over some good food and microbeers. We'll have a round of introductions and raffle prizes, but for the most part we're introducing ourselves and getting to know each other.
If there's interest, we'll do a "reverse case study" of the BJ's Restaurant website at http://www.bjsrestaurants.com and talk about how we'd build it.
Formal presentations are being planned for our meetups on the 2nd Wednesdays of each month, starting on May 8, 2013, at Ventura Drupal's new meetup host, Pixelgate.
