April NYC Meetup

Wednesday April 23rd, 6pm - 9pm, at the usual location at Fastcompany (location at end of post)

Proposed Meetup Outline

This is just a proposal - if there's something else you'd like to add or discuss instead, please add it to the discussion! We're looking for someone to run the beginners/intermediate session, so if you have experience of setting up TinyMCE or know anything about Kupu, or if you're familiar with the debate and pros and cons of different approaches, then please offer to help out!

• Introduction, refreshments, etc.
• Drupal Showcases - have you been working on an interesting site recently? Spend three minutes showcasing your work. If you're interested in doing this add a comment below
• Overview of acquia's Carbon (more on this below)
• Breakout into two groups
• Beginners/Intermediate - introduction to one of the modules being proposed for inclusion in Carbon - perhaps WYSIWYG editors?
• Advanced Discussion

Acquia is the Drupal shop set up by Dries, the original creator of Drupal. They've proposed 'Carbon':

Carbon is the code name for our commercially supported distribution of Drupal 6. Carbon will consist of Drupal 6 core plus a group of popular contributed modules. The focus of this distribution will be on social publishing applications - enabling customers to quickly build interactive, community-based publishing sites that include a combination of editorial and user-generated content.
