33 South Commercial Street ° Manchester, NH 03101

Primary Topic/Presentation

We currently don't have anything set for the primary discussion topic, so we will either take suggestions here of things everyone would like to discuss, or can simply have a good free-form discussion during the evening, and tackle topics and issues as they arise. But if someone has a topic that you'd like to present, post it here, and we can make it happen!

If you have any specific questions for the group, feel free to post them in reply to this thread, that way anyone with experience with the topic can have a little prep time to evaluate potential solutions.

Please make sure to use the "Sign Up" button for this event so that we may continue to know how many users will be in attendance. This is really important as the group grows so we know when we will have to look for a bigger location to hold us all!!

Dinner & Drinks

After each meetup, we depart from the "structured" environment, and continue our discussions over beers and/or food at Murphy's Tap Room, or possibly the Strange Brew. We look forward to seeing you all there!!

How about a tutorial on getting set up to contribute modules? Including registering a name for your module or theme, installing the version control tools, etc. It's all a big gray area for me.

Theming would be great

Not sure if all would be interested, so maybe not too great.
Security would be good too, but again, people may be beyond that.
Views would be great too, plus
panels,...oh well

Thanks,
Kevin

two suggestions

We've talked about having a discussion of Views Bulk Operations module...

But perhaps more timely would be an open discussion about D7-ready modules and themes. That could lead to a further discussion of modules that are considered essential, and where they are relative to the Drupal 7 release.

All sounds good....

I agree with all the ideas here, and think we should likely just do a bit more free-form meeting this time around (without any long topic/presentation) and let's discuss as many of these things as we can...

so for now, the following list is active:

  • Tips/How-to on Contributing back to the community (themes, modules)
  • Views
  • Views Bulk Operations
  • D7 Modules (ones that are ready, ones that will hold up switching to D7??)
  • Security (General security concerns?)
  • A broad theming discussion...

I think the key here is to spend the evening asking the questions you have, and we'll push through them as we can in a way that benefits everyone!!
