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.
Ohio Linux Fest - Cross Posting to Ohio DUG's
I go every year to the Ohio Linux Fest. Its a great open source conference where you can make a lot of great contacts in the open source world.
But, last year I thought maybe there would be some talks on Drupal. There was one, by a person that didn't know a lot about Drupal.
A Call to Arms!
I am going to this. I am also thinking about talking about Drupal. I think that we with the Ohio and other groups in the area, should get together and have a table. Maybe we could get Acquia to sponsor in some sort? Maybe we could get some more drupal talks....

Drupal Theme needed on Craigslist
Found this on Craigslist. Anyone here a Drupal theme developer? It was posted on 4/14 so I'm not sure if this is still a need.

Classified Ads module
I am looking for a recommendation for a classified ads module for hoosierlacrosse.com. It would need to be fairly simple and would not handle any financial transactions. Members of the site would use it to sell their new or used lacrosse gear.
Thanks for any input.

Hanging Out With The Palantir Gang! APRIL 15th Wednesday!
Hey gang!
Who wants to hang out with Larry, Tiffany, and George of www.palantir.com ??
They are in town for the http://www.archimuse.com/mw2009/index.html conference, and have invited us to hang out with them Wednesday evening.
The conference is at the downtown Indianapolis HYATT. one south Capitol st.
I was thinking we could hang at the Hyatt Lounge and chill. Bring your laptops. I've had great meetups in lounges with fellow Drupalers.
I'm open to other locations, but we're going to keep it close to the gig so our guests don't have to travel. Any ideas are welcome.
New Lafayette Group Layout
Hey everyone, thought I'd point out that the new "Lafayette Group" page now has a different layout. How would everyone feel about trying a different layout for the main Indiana Group page?

Monday, April 13th Indy Drupal Users Group Meeting
OK Gang,
It's been a while. Those of us who went to DrupalCon have surely recovered by now. So lets get together and do what we do best; Talk Drupal!
1] Who wants to do pizza? So far we've had always had enough and collected enough from the partakers to cover the cost. Do we want to do that again?
Artisteer - Wysiwyg Drupal Theme Creator
I've been evaluating Artisteer, a wysiwyg theme building program that runs on Windows, and I am impressed. With no theme or even HTML/CSS knowledge, you can build a usable design for Drupal, as well as WordPress, Joomla, or just a straight HTML/CSS site very quickly.
One feature I found particularly useful is the 'Ideas' menu, which will suggest random designs for you at the push of a button - either the entire theme, or just portions of it like blocks or header. Very useful to get started with, and then you can start tweaking the details.

Hey all,
I have an issue that is kind of hard to describe but I'm going to do the best I can. I posted this on the Drupal forums, as well.

Twin Cities Users Group Report
Our users group, http://groups.drupal.org/twin-cities, had our monthly meeting last night. A good group of about 12 people attended what amounted to being an experiment for our gathering. Normally we have a relatively formal presentation-- either a demo, case-study, sometimes even slides are involved. This month we decided to try something different.
Read moreMarch Meetup - Drupalcon Debriefing
There was a TON of knowledge spread at this year's DrupalCon! Come hang out with those of us who went: Doug, Aaron, Seth, Tony, Josh, and maybe Brandon if he wants to make the drive.
We'll do some pizza, some drinks, and plenty of Drupal.
I'm asking all the DrupalCon attendees to register as attending then reply to this post and suggest some things you might want to share. Go ahead and offer a lot of ideas if you have many. We can get a discussion going on which ones are of most interest.
Drupal 6.x vs. Acquia
Is anyone else noticing performance issues with their Drupal Acquia installations? I have installed the 6.9 version on a few sites, and they are extremely slow to load in a browser compared to Drupal 5.x and Drupal 6.x installs. I was just curious to see if any others in the IndyDUG were having these problems.
Cheers!

Customize "Add" node layout?
Does anyone know how to or have experience with customizing the 'Add' a node layout? I have the event module and want to add the ability for authenticated users to be able to add an event, however when looking at the form (yoursite.com/node/add/event if you have it installed), I wanted to remove the excess fields such as: Revision Information, Comment Settings, URL Path Settings, etc...
I'm just wondering if there is a common interface for all, or if each individual module is unique.
Thanks!

Read moreDrupalCon DC Schedule
Hey everyone! I'm trying to plan which sessions I'll be going to and found it rather difficult to select which session to go to based on the title alone. So I compiled and expanded the sessions table to include the abstracts of every session.
If you find this useful, please repost and blog about it so it can help others! In fact, perhaps there is someone in this Indiana Group that has a blog on Drupal Planet and might post it to the planet?

Lafayette / Purdue Meetup
Hi All. Our first group will be meeting at the WHTR building (room 212) at Purdue University. You can park in the Marsteller Street Parking Garage for free. The walk from the garage to the building is about 5min.
Please let the group know you are coming by using the "sign up" button below. You must be logged in to see this sign up button.
4pm-5pm
The first hour will be for Purdue staff/faculty attendees. You are more than welcome to attend, but the first meeting will focus on their needs more. The first meeting will be a "what do you want to know about / do with Drupal". I have received some feedback already that attendees would like to cover: Drupal for courses, theming views and deploying Ubercart are of interests.
5pm to 5:30pm
Community and Purdue attendees will have Pizza and Drinks. Contributions are welcome. You can continue to eating after 5:30, if you like.
5:30pm to 7:30pm
We will discuss Drupal in general, what's new, how others are using Drupal, their experience level and what they would like to cover in the following meetups. The next Drupal meetup we will have an agenda based on feedback given. If you provide some feedback before the first meetup I will try to cover your requests in the meeting.
This time slot is for both Community and Purdue attendees, although the focus will be for the Community attendees.
Drupal Indy Meetup: Feb. 23
Drupal Case Study Show-And-Tell.
The topic of this meetup has been under discussion and it has been decided that we will have a Drupal show-and-tell session! Come and bring something Drupal-related. Many of us are working on different aspects of Drupal, finding different ways to accomplish what we need with the different websites that we are creating. This session will allow us to trade ideas as well as get new ones when we see what others are doing. So this has turned into less of a tutorial meetup and into an open house of ideas.
