Brevard Meetup Tues. Oct. 22 BYOP (Bring Your Own Problems, and we'll try to solve them as a group)
Join us on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013, 6:30pm at Ryans Pub upstairs in Cocoa Village. The topic will be (Bring Your Own Problem) and we will all try and help you solve it.
Do you have a nagging problem that you just can't get to the bottom of? It's a mystery! It should work but it doesn't. You've done everything right that you know of. You've researched until your eyes are crossed and nothing works! You've asked everyone you know who might know. They don't know either. Bring it to the group. Give the gurus a challenge.
Guru who solves the most problems wins free beer!

DrupalCamp 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.
