Plans?

  • LIGHTNING ROUNDS
    New feature. Have a topic you can present in 5 minutes (with 5 more minutes for questions)? The basic idea is there are patterns for developing sites the "drupal" way ("what would drupal do? etc."). Tell us a quick 5 minute recipe for how to put the Drupal "bricks" together. Theming techniques or other things may also be appropriate. Propose it below. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation.

    • String Overrides - kmoll092
    • Semantic Views - bleen18
  • Site Re-Design/Theming example (20 min) - orbgasm
  • "Tougher than leather" - Theming with runvsc base theme (30 min) - johnvsc
  • Newbie Birds of a Feather - ???
  • BOF - Drupal NYC Intro Camp discussion - fathershawn
  • Open Slot - Propose a Topic
  • Drupal Drinks and Drupal Fun at ??? (Suspenders?, Dakota Roadhouse?)

Signup closes midnight of the day before the event. We don't have the luxury to add "last minute" attendees.
Remember: You must have your REAL NAME on your groups.drupal.org profile otherwise you will not be able to get in to 7 World Trade Center!

I'd like to do a lightening round on semantic views because it's filled with awesomeness

Sounds like a good one!

I can take the Newbie BoF if it runs at the same time at JZ's Tougher Than Leather session :)

And I'll have updates definitely to the course (some already published to gitorious), and hopefully updates to the snapshots for those prepping to teach that I can go over.

Am I in?

Drupal Drinks and Drupal Fun at ??? (Suspenders?, Dakota Roadhouse?)

Ah thanks Winston for remembering this.

We had such a great time at Suspenders last month, an informal poll indicated everyone greatly preferred it. Some of the reasons given included better prices, better food, better ambience & Free Wifi. (without going into the other location's negative issues.)

Talking to everyone there, it sounded like it was pretty much decided to relocate to Suspender's moving forward!

Location: Suspenders Bar & Grill
111 Broadway
between Pine St & Thames St

Directions: From WTC7: Park or Barclay across West Broadway to Church St.
South on Church St., go 6 blocks to Thames St.
Left on Thames, side entrance is halfway up block. (Main entrance on Broadway.)
