Beer, pretzels, and Drupal in SE Michigan.
The intention of this group is to possibly foster a friendly user group meeting for Drupal in SE Michigan similar to semislug.
No current plans for such a meeting to take place, but it takes a group to set that up. This is the beginning of that.
I've been lacking as an admin of this group. Should someone who has been here a while want admin of this, message me.

June a2Drupal Meeting
Wow! Time flies! It is already the 24th of June, so that means it is the last Monday of the month and is the Ann Arbor DUG meeting day. This is your standard day-of reminder! I hope everyone had a great break last month during Memorial Day, and for those that had returned from DrupalCon Portland, an equally enjoyable flight back home. Some people had the opportunity to discuss Portland at the meetup in Plymouth. For those that didn't get to attend or just want to wax nostalgic about DrupalCons past, we will be having our standard first-meeting-post-drupalcon review.
Read moreNo May a2Drupal Meeting
Just as a polite reminder, as is the norm, there is no meeting for the month of May because of the holiday. I hope you have a great and safe Memorial day, and look forward to seeing you all on June 24!

September a2Dug: Apache Solr
How do you handle search on large sites like Drupal.org or Economist.com? While Drupal's included search module is sufficient for small sites, it has problems with performance and usability once you get to hundreds or thousands of nodes. Apache Solr is an alternative search system that handles these performance issues and provides user-friendly features like faceted search, content recommendations ("More Like This"), language stemming, and query suggestions ("Did you mean...?").

want to talk about, and listening to what you're interested in.
Subjects of discussion have ranged from web programming and digital
photography to computer vision and turkey basting. (No, there wasn't a
talk on having a computer visually monitor your turkey, but if you've
tried it, you're welcome to report on your experiences!) You see, the

Michigan Drupal Summer Minicamp
Please signup over at MichiganDrupal.com
We are really excited about our June Meetup, June will be a bit different for a couple of reasons. We are going to be celebrating the opening of Commerce Guys’ new office in Ann Arbor by holding our meetup there for June. This will also allow for extended hours with food and drinks onsite as well as space to breakup into four “official” sessions total plus space for breakout conversations if needed. This also marks the 6 month mark since Drupalcamp Michigan, would be a great time to discuss the idea of a second camp in 6 months.
