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.
June Meetup - IUPUI University Library
June will be a special meetup as we try a new format and location. This month's meetup will be at the IUPUI Library in room UL 1116. We have created a post on our Drupal Indy site to help with parking.
Please note the new time, but we hope that won't stop you from attending if you can't be there at the opening.
We have room for 40 people and all skill levels are welcomed. No dress code, relaxed attitudes, open ideas, laptop encouraged, remember business cards, and we will probably go for a beer afterward.

DrupalCamp Indy 2011!
I wanted to kickstart the conversation for DrupalCamp indy 2011!
It seems that so many camps are planning WAY ahead and for good reason.
So here's my list of questions. At some point we may want to utilize a Wiki page for this but for now a discussion will do.
Where?
Last venue was a great start but we need to move on. IUPUI is a possibility. Who knows of others? The site of Indy Linux Fest was mentioned by some one. I'm open to that although the location is run down and out of the way.
Net?

There's a new discussion about the company profiles on the Drupal Indy site, if you have an opinion, we'd love to hear it!

Read moreNEW Drupal Indy Website
Alright everyone, we've talked about this for a long time. We've put a lot of thought and effort into planning what this site would be. And FINALLY, we have a live and functioning site! This is probably more due to the lack of organization on the part of us as group officers than anything. But this is our attempt at becoming more involved once again.
So, we hope everyone will go to http://drupalindy.org - Create a profile, add projects, and showcase local sites.

Carpooling to Chicago
There are surely a good amount of people from this group who are driving to Chicago for DrupalCon, and I thought this would be the right place to find people to carpool with.
I will myself be flying to Richmond (Indiana) on Friday to talk about Drupal at Earlham College, and if anybody from the region is driving to Chicago on Sunday it would be great if I could ride with you. I can happily pay for gas.

D7 on IIS with MSSQL
Has anyone attempted a D7 installation on IIS using MSSQL yet? I have a client with very specific requirements, and was curious to find out others' experiences in this area.
Thanks!

Developer Talks
I would like to have some "Developer Talks."
These would be focused on developing in Drupal with core or with other contrib modules APIs. These are NOT site building and will lean to more advanced discussions. They could also be sys-admin related as long as they are technical.
I'm seeing if people would be interested in these types of discussions. Perhaps monthly.

Indiana LinuxFest
Hey Everyone!
So I just stumbled upon the following link: http://www.indianalinux.org/cms/2011_dates_set
Indiana Linuxfest! Which rocks! but, they are wanting to do a drupalcon (probably more of a drupalcamp)on that Sunday....So my assumption is that they have been talking to some one(Doug? Aaron? Neil?) about doing this...
But what can we do to make this even better? The Indy DrupalCamp was a great time, I think we can build off of that success and make this amazing!
Thoughts? Discussions?

The Drupal community is being asked to use a central site dedicated to the purpose of tracking the D7 Parties. created an event at http://www.drupal7releaseparty.org/united-states/release-party-indy-drupal-users-group Once we work out the details here, I will populate them there.
Read moreDrupal core search PLUS faceted search = issue. :-(
Drupal core search PLUS faceted search module isn't delivering the results I expect.
When I enter "lowell" and select "anywhere" i get no results.
But if i select the "content" field then I get 4 results because "lowell" appears in the field named "content" four times.
If I select the "remarks" field i get two results.
i should see ALL results when the "anywhere" value is selected but instead I get ZERO.
The option of "anywhere" comes as a default value provided by the faceted search module. I've never used this module before so I'm stumped.

The Drupal Camp Indy event this weekend was a great success! We had slots for around 90 people but maxed that out and actually had around 100 Drupalers in attendance!
There were 2 issues that we had, but other than that the day went smoothly and I've heard a number of good responses and a number of Thank You's from people who are grateful that we put on the event.

It looks good in IE but I am a Firefox user and using 3.6.10.
Here is the link that show what I am trying to explain and any help would be greatly appreciated.
