Miami Beach? Sarasota? Tallahaseee? Tampa? Where are your meetups?
Hey Palm Beach, Miami, Sarasota, Tallahassee, and Tampa Drupalers? Where are your meetups?
Ok - maybe that's not a fair question...
I realize that Palm Beach and Tampa have been posting their meetups on meetup.com - but please also cross-post them here as well (Orlando does the same thing...)
How about you, Miami (looking for a new organizer?), Sarasota, and Tallahassee? Let's get things kick-started!

Read moreDrupalCamp Atlanta (Sat. Oct 19) - Who's Going?
DrupalCamp Atlanta is approaching quickly - Saturday, October 19, 2013. Aside from Florida DrupalCamp, it's annually the largest Drupal event in the Southeast United States.
It is a great opportunity for the regional community to get together for a full day of learning, networking, community contributions, and some fun.
I'll definitely be heading to the camp (DrupalEasy is a sponsor, after all!), and I'm wondering who else from Florida will be making the trip.

2) Pushing changes with Features/Git
Vote in the Meetup comments for which presentation you would like to see. In addition volunteer in comments to give one of these presentations. Would love to have a volunteer for presenting this month.

Read moreProposal: Florida Drupal Trivia Night!
I'd like to propose a Florida Drupal Trivia night to be held at Ryan's Pub in Cocoa Village, Florida the evening of Friday, August 23, 2013.
This event would be open to all, and would utilize the Q&As from the DrupalCon Portland Trivia Night (if you attended the DrupalCon Portland Trivia Night, then congrats, you're one of the hosts!)
The idea is to provide a fun, easy-to-organize event for the Florida Drupal Community to get together and network and enjoy each other's company.
I have tentatively secured the venue with the following caveats:
Read moreFlorida Drupal Diver Pin Distribution
Hey everybody,
The bulk of the Florida Drupal Diver pins are in the process of being distributed to the local meetup organizers. If you'd like to get your hands on a pin, then get out to your local Drupal meetup!
- Brevard - I handed some out at last night's meetup and will have them at meetups going forward until we run out!
- Broward - Jay Epstein has pins to distribute at the next meetup.
- Orlando - Andrew Riley will have pins starting today to distribute at Orlando Drupal co-working and future Orlando meetups.
Post all Florida meetups on meetup.com?
Hey everybody,
Erik Bladwin (yes, that's the proper spelling as far as I'm concerned) and I recently took part in a DrupalCon Portland session entitled <a href="https://portland2013.drupal.org/session/making-drupal-meetups-and-events-rock>Making Drupal Meetups and Events Rock. As part of our preparation we, along with the other panelists, set up an online survey about Drupal meetups. One of the more surprising datapoints that came out of it was over 50% of the 161 respondents indicated that meetup.com was how people learned about their meetups. Perhaps we're missing an opportunity to grow the Florida community even more.
I know that in Brevard County, we're not using meetup.com. I'm not sure about the other local meetups around the state, but I think it's time that we make sure that we're all reaching as many Florida Drupaleros as possible.

The goal is to have about 10 minutes on each framework and then discuss after the presentations our group experiences both pro and con.
If you have thoughts on any of these frameworks or another framework you'd like to discuss feel free to bring it up in the comments below and at the meeting as well.

Happy anniversary. Its our 1-year anniversary of the DrupalJax group. We will continue our series on building your site with Drupal. In January we went over setting up your local dev environment.

For December we'll have another social event as we did for November. Come prepared to talk about any problems you are having or modules you really have been enjoying recently.
