February 24 Drupal St. Louis Meetup

Posted by jpro on February 15, 2011 at 5:38pm

Start:

2011-02-24 07:00 - 09:00 America/Chicago

Event type:

User group meeting

Our February Meetup will be 7:00 PM Thursday, February 24, at the St. Louis Artist's Guild, Two Oak Knoll Park, in Clayton.

We will meet in the conference room on the first floor. Enter the building through the side door with the ramp, and look for the first door on the right, a short distance inside. Go through that door and make a hairpin turn to the right, and look for the conference room just ahead.

I will not be able to make this meeting, but the Guild is still happy to host it. Bryan Walsh, the Guild's graphic designer, will be on hand to help with the room. I believe Ba-Doyn will be able to come a little early and put up signs as well... are you still on, Michael?

The Guild's projector is still tied up in an exhibit, so if anyone wants to bring a projector, please do so. The room has wifi, so bring your laptops if you would like. Signups are enabled for this event. Signing up is optional, but helpful, so if you feel pretty confident you can make it, please do sign up.

I plan on making it...

I plan on making it... tentatively. Depends on a few things that will be going on next week. I can probably bring a projector as well (I finally have one at work that can be used for stuff like this).

One thing that may be more of a 'meta' issue is the formation of a more formal area for St. Louis-area Drupal news, events, job postings, etc... I am continually getting requests for help from different Drupal organizations, and calls for help are more and more frequent.

I don't know of too many Drupal freelancers or agencies in the St. Louis area (besides a couple friends and the 5-10 regulars at these meetings), and I think having a central resource for job postings, members, etc. could be very useful.

Not to mention, having a little more organization would mean St. Louis would be a much more visible candidate for Lullabot workshops, DrupalCamps, or maybe a DrupalCon in the far-off future...

(By 'area', I mean a separate website, kinda like many other cities have—for example: http://cdmug.org/).

I've had http://drupalstl.org/ and the http://twitter.com/drupalstl Twitter account for a few months, just haven't done anything with them yet.

I'll be there...

I can be there early to set up some signs and whatever else. Just let me know what to do.

Signs

Michael, I try to get there 15 to 25 minutes early (traffic varies for me) and put a sign on the frame of the doorway where you make the first right turn, one inside that hallway where you make the next right turn, then one over the doorway of the conference room. I can email you my Drupal sign files if you want. They include arrows that point the way. I'll probably also send you a couple of contact phone numbers for people at the Guild.
