Topics
If you'd like to present on a topic, give a lightning talk or just ask questions of the group, please feel free to leave a comment below.
Open discussion
Everybody has a favorite module or two and we'll have a round table discussion where everyone will have a chance to share modules they like, they've written or have used to get out of a sticky situation. It's okay if you don't have any favorite modules -- if you want to, you're welcome to ask the group if a module exists that might help with a use case or problem that you're working on.
The only rule at the round table is that you can't repeat a module that someone else has already mentioned.
At the end of the meetup, the list of modules and the links to download them will be posted in the comments below for the benefit of the larger community.

Coffee Break
Anyone that would like to get the meetup started right, around 5:30 Christefano and I will be meeting for coffee at Cafe Zoma a couple doors up from where Borders once stood. This is just up the street from the meetup location on Canon Perdido.
This was a great meetup. We
This was a great meetup. We had a good turnout (16 attendees this time) and covered a lot of topics, including where and how people host Drupal sites, who's going to DrupalCon, the history of the E-Commerce, Ubercart and Drupal Commerce modules, and more.
We went to Roy's afterward for food and drinks and I look forward to doing that again.
This was a great location with plenty of parking. The team from RightScale was very welcoming and contributed a lot more than just a venue: they had questions for the meetup attendees as well as plenty of answers about what RightScale offers.
Many thanks to RightScale for hosting us!
Looks like the Drupal
Looks like the Drupal Commerce project just released a major update in the form of a first Beta. I don't know what that means in terms of immediate usability, but it sure is timely after we recapped the State of Affairs!
