This group is long overdue for a meet-up so lets work it out and get together. I have a project that I would like to share with the group as it entails some things that need attention and I would love input from other Drupal Ninja's.
Please reply if you have a place for the meeting. I would like it to be in SLC I'm willing to drive up from Ogden.

Possible Location
Hey, we can meet at my office -- don't suppose any of you Northern Utah Drupalers feel like a 3-hour drive down here to Cedar City? There are at least 3 of us down here, and a couple in St. George.
Eh, it was worth a try. I keep thinking that I'll make a point to stop by one of the Wasatch-front meet-ups, but am never in town at the right times. We should do some kind of live video-conference meet-up sometime so us less metropolitan Nerds can get in on the action. Trouble with that, I guess, is that it'd have to be Bring Your Own Pizza.
I think we should definitely
I think we should definitely start planning one for mid-November. How does that sound to everyone? I'd like to try for a Wednesday this time around, is that OK with everyone else? The usual downtown location (2nd S, 2nd E) should be sufficient, once again. We also have an office at 175 w 200 s that we could meet at if the other is not open.
I also think doing a live-stream for it would be awesome! Welcome to the next generation! We can figure out the specifics of that later on, but either way I have a Mac that I could hook up a camera to for some iChat->iChat or Skype->Skype action as well. Let me know what you guys (southerners) think!
It'd be great to do a meetup down south, but I do think that the drive is a little hefty for us. Especially us from Northern Davis County (which is I think just 2). One day our paths will meet! Maybe at the Salt Lake DrupalCon??? :-D W00t!
Everyone leave your comments!

Location a go!
I am planning the trek to BADCamp next month so mid week would be perfect. The locations indicated are very close to the freeway and easily accessible. This time I hope I don't have a funeral to attend prior to showing up.
Looking forward to getting together.

sig is there
It's in the discussion, just not the hyperlink to your site. Maybe the input format for discussions is different from comments.

downtown slc is great
We like the downtown location but we're open to anything in SL valley.
Any thoughts on discussion topics? Here's a few we could present:
I'm pretty open the next
I'm pretty open the next month or so. Wednesday is fine for me so we should be able to once again host the meeting in the Walker Center as usual or if we want a change of scene then we could go to amariotti's place.
I just checked the Jazz schedule and on November 3rd and 17th there are home games so we probably would want to look at November 10th for the meetup (we really don't want to meet downtown when they're playing).
I just found out that I won't
I just found out that I won't be available on the 10th which probably means we won't have the Walker Center available. Can we do it at your place amariotti?
I'm counting 4 people then
I'm counting 4 people then (me included). Not to down play any of you or anything, but is that worth a meet-up? Maybe we need to plan further in advance? What does everyone think?
BTW: Meeting at our place should be fine, I'd have to run it past a few people, but it should be fine.
Andrew (amariotti)
sure
We're already downtown so it's easy for us. If the others planning to attend are also close by, we should meet.
We'll present Xdebug. Super useful tool for debugging, profiling and tracing. We can walk through installation, configuration, and demonstrate how we use it to fix code and improve performance.
Who's bringing pizza?
I'm interested. I've been
I'm interested. I've been meaning to stop by and say so. I should be able to make the 10th work depending on the location for this month. And Wednesdays in general are much better for me than Tuesdays or Thursdays if that is feasible for others going forward.
And any time there isn't enough items on the agenda being presented, I usually have things I could show - especially for those with interest in Ubercart.
Sounds like there's still
Sounds like there's still some interest. I'm going to create a wiki for us to start putting these topics in for an agenda. It look like if it happens then it will have to be at my work (175 w 200 s, downtown), which is fine. I'll start putting together the agenda and post a link here.
Anyone else interested in presenting? Good question was posted above...who's bringing Pizza? :)
Andrew (amariotti)
I'm happy to help with the
I'm happy to help with the cost of pizza, but I don't have the means to bring it as I come by Trax. Unless there's a good place around the corner from you within walking distance ...
Or, if we ever want to meet in a public location with food (and don't care about not using a projector), I'm always happy to bring my Wimax hotspot for internet access.

Shall we shoot for the 10th?
Shall we shoot for the 10th? I'm going to create a poll to see who's available to make sure it's worth while.
Andrew (amariotti)

Nov. 10 works for us.
+1 for November 10
+1 for November 10
I'm game
