If you have something you'd like present, see presented, or just discuss with the group, please leave a comment here.
Also, I'm sure we'll spend quite a bit of time recapping DrupalCon Chicago and the announcements made there (Drupal 8, upcoming Drupal Events, etc) for those who couldn't attend.
Comments
Scott (sreynen) and I were
Scott (sreynen) and I were planning to do a presentation on Issue Queues (aka how to participate with the development community on drupal.org). That could be a main or lightning presentation, so don't let that deter you from presenting.
Drupalcon 2012 *may* be worth discussing
What the I don't even! How did this happen? Seriously, I don't care how or why (hmm, that gives me an idea...), but Drupalcon coming to Denver will be awesome.
So, with awesome being called for, I would be proud to present:
The 2012 Overture! by Arcadian Power Trio Drush!
…and the geeks shall inherit the earth…
With the web, we do anything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The online videos that make you laugh until you cry.
It’s one for all and all for one
We work together, uncommon ones
Always asking how or what or why!
We are the volunteers
Of the CMS that is Drupal.
Our great laptops
Fill this hallowed IRC!
We are the volunteers
Of the CMS that is Drupal.
All the modules and themes
Are shared for you to see.
Look around th’ website we made
Collaboration our stock in trade
Come and join a cool meetup and learn!
Oh, what a nice, extensible world
Register our custom hooks unfurled
Proudly hold the Druplicon in turn.
...it may be a rough draft, but undeniably epic! :-)
Nice.
I love it!

Recap
I've posted a recap of the meetup here:

The video from Denver Open Media should be posted later this week.
I know its early but if you
I know its early but if you need any volunteers to present for the April meeting, I wouldn't mind doing a 15-20 minute presentation on the Designkit module if anyone is interested in that topic. Color module functionality in D6 has minimal functionality but Designkit is a nice powerful replacement that is really easy to use.
Points outlined:
-what is designkit and real world usage in your projects
-setting up your theme's .info file to incorporate designkit color settings
-modifying designkit.tpl.php to easily create sitewide color scheming
-2 different ways to create color gradients in your site (no graphic software required)
-example mockup of an easily made gradient menu bar with nice looking consistent dividers
I recently applied this concept to a project for a client that wanted an easy way to recolor several regions of his site without having to modify css directly and i found designkit to be very useful for this.
Thanks Andy, I've made a note
Thanks Andy, I've made a note to add your presentation to next month's line up.
