How/When We Started: The Indy Drupal Users Group started meeting in January of 2008. Since that time we've ranged from meeting once a month, to twice a month, to infrequently. We've had instructional meetups, guest speakers, some hack-a-thons, and even pulled off 2 DrupalCamps.
We haven't had a meetup since Feb 2016.
OLD NEWS: The IndyDrupal Meetup.com Page has been closed. We will be using this forum from now on.
In April 2018 I asked our 251 MeetUp.com members if they wanted to do a meetup and got little response.

Drupal Commerce Intro
Lullabot's Drupalize.me just released a series of videos on Drupal Commerce. You can watch the introduction for free, but you have to get a membership to see the whole series. Some of our discussions last night included resources for tutorial videos and questions about Drupal Commerce, so this is kind of an answer to 2 questions :)

Read moreRegional Drupal Camps
So, we have a lot of Drupal Camps going on in the Midwest this year. This is a GREAT thing! It means the local communities are getting strong enough to start hosting these camps. I know this year our camp could have been a lot larger, our venue this year was big enough to handle something MUCH larger, but as I'm sure a number of others out there are experiencing some balance of sponsors, speakers, and attendees that may or may not already be committed to another Drupal Camp.

Michiana Drupal User Group, introduce yourselves
For those of us stuck halfway between Chicago, Indianapolis, and Grand Rapids, this groups is for you.
My name is Brandon Morrison, and I've been a Michiana resident for about 3 years. I've been developing in Drupal for about 5-6 years, and I'm a co-maintainer of the Geofield and Openlayers modules. I've been a semi-regular attender of the Chicago and Indy groups for awhile now, but a few of us here in South Bend wanted to start a mini-group here in South Bend.

Read morePatches for Patches?
Hi everyone... I have a question about patch etiquette and I figured I'd start by asking you guys first...
If somebody creates a patch for a module, and I'd like to add some functionality to the functionality added by that patch, what is the best approach? Should I create a patch that requires you apply the other patch before applying mine, or should I build a patch that includes all the changes and submit it to the same issue? Or something else? I'm sure there's some sort of proper way to go about this, I just don't know what it is.
Thanks!

DrupalCamp Columbus 2011 at OLF CANCELLED
Cancelled
Due to a miscommunication between me and the OLF organizers this event is not taking place.
Once the OLF team turns their attentions towards 2012 we will regroup and submit a timely, well prepared proposal that meets all of their requirements.
My sincere thank you goes out to the OLF team for their efforts to try and squeeze us in at the last minute. We'll do this right next time and stand a better chance of making it in. Understandably, everyone wants to get in on the fun at OLF. I look forward to helping make this happen next year!
