User group meeting

Hello Geneva Drupalers. I will be in Geneva right after DrupalCon, probably the second week of September, for some meetings and would love to have a Drupal meetup to meet people in the Geneva working with Drupal help engage the humanitarian and development community by showing tech folks there how amazing Drupal is as a communication tool. For our monthly meetups over here in Washington DC we often get together in a bar that has wi-fi and do a half dozen lightning talks (each lasting no longer than 5 minutes) which starts some exciting conversations over beers after. If someone can find a bar for probably the night of September 8th, Development Seed will pick up the first round of beers. Any takers?

Lighting talks invited

Let's start with formal introductions, as no-one will know each other, and worry less about sharing technical stuff. How about, during the first round of beers, everyone has two minutes to explain themselves and their interests. This means during the second and subsequent rounds we'll know who we most want to meet.

There are so few players in Geneva so far, that we'll find we have lots in common!

Matthew this sounds great!

Matthew this sounds great! For the lightning talks... I would be happy to talk about some SMS tools we are working on (http://is.gd/YiY), multilingual sites (http://is.gd/Yj5), mapping projects (http://is.gd/FVZ) or news tracking (www.ManagingNews.com) depending what folks interests are. I am really excited to heat what other folks are working on in Geneva with Drupal and get to know the community over there.
