Iowa Drupal Users Group Meeting, "Module Tour" - February 23rd 2009
Last night I received two copies of "Using Drupal", one for me in exchange for a review and one to use as bait for new members. The book is a module mashup recipe book that covers more than 30 contributed modules in 8 common site requirements.
node or page notes
OK, quick question...
There are a couple pages in my site that are special. I was wondering if there's a way to attach notes to a node (which in my case happens to be a page) so that whenever someone edits the page they can see the notes. The notes are hidden unless you're editing.

I was very excited to receive my copy of "Learning Drupal 6 Module Development" by Matt Butcher. So excited, I asked my wife, "Guess the title of the awesome book I just got?" Her sarcastic reply tells you much about me and the regular lecture she gets, "DRUPAL!?". Ok, so I'm a little beyond this book but the title is so great!

Iowa Drupal Users Group Meeting, "Bring a Friend Night" - January 26th 2009
Happy New Year! It feels like forever since we met last (53 days ago).
I'm excited to see new members. I know there are more Drupal'rs in Central Iowa, so let's make this next meeting a "Bring a Friend Night". Let's have a prize for the person who brings the most people. Any ideas?
DrupalCorn has a new look and feel!

Peter Beacom Introduction
Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself to the rest of the members here. I'm from Minnesota and my fiance is now a grad student at Iowa State. I'm an independent software consultant and unfortunately have no contacts in Ames. I'm interested in networking and finding gigs near Ames.
I've worked on two Dupal projects, but the majority of my work has been Java and .Net based. I had this group recommended as a good place to meet developers in central Iowa. Unless I pick up a client in Minnesota first, I plan to be at the meeting on the 26th. I look forward to meeting people then.
