Florida Meetup Proposal - Coding for a Cause April

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

For the second consecutive year, we failed to complete the Coding for a Cause site during Florida DrupalCamp. We need to rectify this, and I'd like to suggest a solution. I just posted this in the description for the Orlando meetup, but I was afraid not everyone would see it, so I'm semi-reposting (so I'm only semi-lame) it here.

I'd like to propose that April be a "Florida Drupal Meetup Coding for a Cause Month". The idea is that each local meetup will work on a small piece of the site during their meetup during the month of April. If the various local groups are up for this, then one of the things we'll do during the Orlando meetup on 3/19 is to determine, describe, and assign tasks to each meetup for April. We will also ensure that someone very familiar with the site be available during each meetup - either in person (I call Brevard!) or online (Skype, IRC, etc...)

Is everyone up for this? Let's discuss in the comments to figure out how we can get this site out-the-door.

Thanks,
-mike

As a very new group I think it would be a great idea for our Sarasota group to help out on this project.

Mike I would personally be happy to help get this organized.

The Tampa group is discussing this now, but you can likely count us in. First Thurs. of each month. So 4/7 will be our next meeting.

Is there a summary of what is being coded, and what state it's in currently somewhere? (I'm sure I could scour the previous posts for it, but if it exists I'm hoping someone could kindly point me to it :)

Chris (as well as Joe and Mike),

Thanks for stepping up so quickly. I'm not sure if there is a reasonable summary at this time, but at this weekend's Orlando meetup, we're going to get things organized, so expect some more details after that.

Thanks,

Hey Mike,
I spoke with Hector and both of us are happy to help however we can. I'll see about rounding up a few other Broward members to pitch in as well.
