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.

Rally Call, Get off your butt!!!
While Drupal Dinners are fun, it doesn't' really allow for people to help each other. I know we are all busy but we need to get more organized.
VENUE
We need a location, preferable centrally located. We used to have them on the north side, the facility was great but it's a 30/45 min drive for the southsiders.
I know we have some IUPUI contacts in our group, perhaps in a classroom? Or if someone that works downtown can talk their boss (or if you are the boss) into allow us to use a conf room.

Looking for Ubercart 2.x help
In trying to set up a Drupal 6.x Ubercart 2.x online store, I am running into a frustrating issue in that it is nearly impossible to set up a filter, exposed to the user, to filter by a taxonomic term. For example, I have an Electrical Circular Saw category that is located here:
Power Tools
- Electric Power Tools
- Electric Saws
- Electric Circular Saws
To this point, everything works as expected.
Now I want to be able to filter by brand:
- DeWalt
- Bosch
- Skil

Read moreIE layout conundrum. ~ Yah, who's ever heard of such a thing? :-(
On http://mocasystems.com/project-gallery
If you select a gallery with a long title like the 2nd row at the end "Hickam Air Force Base Corrosion Control Hangar & Maintenance Facility"
You will see that when the lightbox opens up and shows the title of the gallery, the NAVIGATION or PREV and NEXT image is buried in the middle of the title.
This was also happening in FireFox until I threw a float:left on the container of the navigation. Maybe theres a better way to fix it in FF that will also work on IE?
What's the work around for this one?
THNX!

Regular Meetups Again
Hey Guys!
I want to get regular meetups scheduled again. Starting January, I'd like to have an official meetup date (like 7:00pm on the 2nd Wednesday of every month) or something like that.
But here's what I'd like to change - these meetups will be at a restaurant downtown, so it will be more interaction and discussions than presentations. We will still have presentations and special events, like Hackfests, but these meetings will maintain a time and location every month. I think some consistency will help this group to grow.
