Oops - System told me first two were rejected as spam.
All,
Sorry about the multiple posting. The first two times I submitted the article, the system told me that my article was rejected as spam because I did not get the letters right.
So I entered entered it again, and received the same error message. So I submitted it again and use the verbal version and it was finally accepted. Well, come to find out - even though Drupal Groups told me the first two were rejected as spam, the articles were actually accepted.
This is probably a bug. It should not tell me that it was rejected if the article was accepted.

Reminder! Gainesville Drupal Meetup: This Thurs (10/11) 7pm; Learn Drush and Admin UX!
Reminder! Gainesville Drupal Users Group This Thurs, October 11th at 7pm
For this Thursday's October meetup, the Gainesville Drupal Users Group have two main AWESOME presentations:
1. Speeding up Drupal development with Drush
Mediacurrent's own Kevin Basarab will walk us through using Drush - the Drupal shell. Drush is the swiss army knife of Drupal Development. It can do almost anything you need but many new users of Drupal don't understand why or how it can help speed the development process. In this session we'll skip installation of Drush but we'll go into the basic commands of Drush to help you download Drupal, install, download and install contrib modules plus use aliases to sync between a local and development environment.
2. Secrets to Awesomizing® Your Editor’s Back-end Drupal Experience
In this session we’ll walk the intermediate site-builder through modules and techniques to dramatically simplify, declutter content management and creation within Drupal 7. Modules reviewed and demonstrated about include Field_Group, VBO, Rules, Dashboard, Workbench, the Spark Distribution, and more!
In addition, we'll have
- A [free] 20 minute Drupal beginner session/training for any newbies that attend
- A rundown of the top X Drupal modules - this is always one of our favorites
- Roundtable discussion - What have you done or learned in the last month that's worth showing off?
- A happy-hour / social event afterwards - probably at Harry's or The Top (both are within walking distance)! This'll give us a chance to nerd-talk over a beer or three :)
Details:
- When: Thurs October 11th, 2012 7pm-9pm EDT
- Where: the Alachua County Downtown Libary (401 East University Ave) Click for Map.
- Room: We'll be in the Foundation Room, which is up the stairs and to the left (follow the wall until you see the sign. Ask for help if needed).
- Afterwards: We'll be going out for food/beer/socializing at a restaurant/bar within walking distance.
- What to bring: Bring your laptop if you have one, if not, don't worry!
