Louisiana

I propose we have the February 3rd meeting at Tracy's 2604 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130 They have WiFi, Beer and Good Food. Hope to see ya'll there.

Registration is now OPEN!

We're expecting an incredible lineup of speakers here in Houston, and you do not want to miss this event. Please help spread the word to anyone you know in our area and beyond who is interested in web design and development, as this will be a fantastic opportunity to learn not only about Drupal, but web technology in general.

Join us in welcoming speakers like:

Angela Byron - Drupal 7 maintainer and Lullabot rockstar

Narayan Newton - noted scalability expert and Drupal.org system administrator

I am very glad I attended and the enthusiasm and knowledge of those in attendance was great. Cooter Browns is not a good choice for future meetings as it was too noisy but served us well for the first New Orleans meeting.
There were 8 of us attending and most were make a living at Drupal. It seemed that we all had at least two plus years experience and exposure to Drupal starting with version 5.
People in attendance were:
James Capparell (me)
Hank Yates
Jeff Diecks
Doug Miller
Brian Berlin
Sabrina Schmidt
Eric Schmidt
Jason Want

We are planning the next Meetup in New Orleans Thursday, December 2nd 7pm. Now time to settle on a location.

We definitely need beer and internet access and preferably food. There is a list of WiFi restaurants in New Orleans from Urban Spoon: http://www.urbanspoon.com/New-Orleans I vote for Cooter Brown's it has all the requirements and is pretty easy to find. The Bulldog has a nice beer selection. Both Cooter Brown's and The Bulldog have confirmed that WiFi is available.

I am open to suggestions.

Looking to get a Louisiana Drupal meetup going, even if it's only just 2 or 3 of us to start (this is how Drupal Atlanta started).

How about once a month on Thursday nights to start with. Who's in for Thursday, Nov. 4 in Baton Rouge? Once we have a couple of people interested we can choose a location.

If you are in, RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/louisianadrupal/

For New Orleans folks, perhaps we can alternate meetups between Baton Rouge and New Orleans?

Hello from New Orleans!

I'm currently a Marine stationed here in NOLA and an aspiring Drupal developer. Although I'm in the beginner learning phase I am always looking for ways to enhance my skills. I have created one drupal site for a non-profit here in the local area. The site is siliconbayou.afceachapter.org. There hosting servers tend to be slow at times so I apologize if you have a delay when viewing.

I think it would be great if we could begin to create a Drupal presence in New Orleans. I know it would help me to meet other like minded people. Please let me and other members know if you're interested by commenting here. I'm tired of seeing all the other cities have all the fun and Louisiana becomes a digital backwater.

I think Loyala is a Drupal shop (judging from job posting last summer here). I emailed them and volunteered as intern there (need to improve my Drupal skills) and never even heard back.
