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.

Read moreRegular Drupal Group Meeting in Troy on the 2nd Tuesday evening every month?
Since polling everybody's opinion recently, there appears to be at least 10-12 persons who are interested to meet in the Metro Detroit area. Since the Ann Arbor Drupal Group meets on the last Monday of each month, a meeting on Tuesdays during the second week of the month sounds like a terrific complement if there are folks who wish to attend both.
Please RSVP for the first gathering in the Troy area or vicinity on Tuesday July 14, 2009. If 1-2 members are willing to assist, that would be greatly appreciated.

May A2Drupal Monthly Meeting Cancelled
Hey everyone,
This is just a quick update on the results of the poll I had posted. I checked with the friendly folks over at SPARK, and they let me know that we can't do a June 1 as they already have something scheduled. The next option on the list is to just skip this month, so unless people come up with a real compelling topic/location/time, I'm canceling the May meeting and our next one will be Monday (as always) June 29.
I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Memorial day!
-Steve

Southeast Michigan Theming Seminar
Bob Christenson (aka Rob Feature) from Mustardseed Media, Inc. will be teaching this seminar on "real world" Drupal theming. He will be talking more about the practical "how to theme" and will NOT be doing in depth detail on how the Drupal theme system works (although we'll cover the basics of course).
This event will cover the same material being presented at the NYC Theming Session on January 24.

Free Drupal Theme Workshop
This event has now passed. Thanks for all who attended!
Come join us for a totally free Drupal 6 theming workshop. This casual training will walk through building a Drupal 6 theme from scratch, start to finish.
Your group leader will be building a basic theme for a company website based off a Photoshop mockup. He will build the theme and talk about what he's doing and why he's doing it. You can ask basic questions along the way but, due to the compressed timeline of the workshop, we won't stop the workflow to answer anything extremely complex (or go off in directions that don't pertain to the theme being built).
- Where?
St. Matthew Lutheran Church
2040 South Commerce
Walled Lake, MI
Room 304 (use rear entrance)

- Time: 1pm-6pm
We aren't providing any food/snacks, etc so bring your own. We will have wireless assuming everything goes as planned. However, we cannot promise that the wireless will be functioning.
Hope to see you there!

Pivots Module
I found this and thought it was interesting to hear. Last summer there was a DUG meeting and the pivots module was presented then(http://groups.drupal.org/node/5070). It is about a year later and is in full production live on the drupal.org website (http://mrzhou.cms.si.umich.edu/drupal-users-welcome-pivots-recommendatio...).
I e-mailed Daniel and asked if he would come present the module again at the group. Maybe everyone else should give him a nudge and let him know we may be interested in hearing about it again (daniel lives in the A2 area).
