Skype meeting on March 25
It seemed remarkable that a community the size of Tampa Bay has no Drupal Users Group. So Mike Wright and I decided to start one. If you are a Drupal user and live in the Tampa Bay environs: first, please join our group; second, attend our organization meeting on March 25 at 7:30 pm.
The meeting will be held via Skype. Details for connecting and the agenda will be posted within a week of the meeting date.
Our current plan is to have about three Skype meetings per quarter and one meet-up. For what? Come to the March 25 meeting and let's figure out how we can be helpful to one another.

February Meet-up Wrapup
The (central) Florida Drupal Users Group has a meetup yesterday at MindComet in Altamonte Springs. About 10 people were present, including several new faces that attended DrupalCamp 2 weeks ago.
-
Comments/Lessons Learned from DrupalCamp - see Andrew's post for a summary of what we discussed.
-
We had a brief discussion about having remote speakers at future meetups as well as live streaming of future meetups. Nothing concrete was decided on, but everyone seemed interested in pursuing both ideas.
Central Florida February Meetup
Join us at MindComet's offices in Altamonte Springs for a 2-hour, 1 topic meetup.
We don't have an "official" topic as of yet, so I was thinking that maybe we could do some Ubercart stuff together. I know a few of us have some experience with it, working together, we could no doubt all learn something.

Great Florida DrupalCamp
Thanks to Joe Moraca for helping me install Drupal on my laptop and to Bob O'Leary for helping me trouble shoot at the Florida DrupalCamp . Thanks to EVERYONE who helped put together the Florida Drupal Camp yesterday. You made me a Drupal enthusiast! See some pictures at http://tinyurl.com/dbpc8f
I wanted to share a problem and fix that I had yesterday. After the install, I got an error and at least one other person did too. The error message was:

Jobs board?
Companies always seem to have a shortage of experienced Drupal developers to hire, and there's always someone looking for work. How about we set up a job board to let the two connect? Maybe ask a fee for anyone posting a job listing (something small to help cover minor costs, maybe $20-50 per listing), but let anyone looking for work post their business cards/info for free? Or just do both for free.
