User group meeting
Hi Everyone!
Having just returned from the Chicago Drupalcon -- getting a meeting notice out was totally forgotten. Always note, we will have our meeting on our regularly scheduled day unless you receive a notice to change that.
As we stated last month, I am going to talk about Drupal 7's Drupal Commerce.
I took the full day preconference course that was offered by Ryan S -- we did actual hands on training and created a little store -- so thought I would demonstrate that tonight.
What you'll see:
- the much leaner modules
- drupal now has entities and nodes
- some of the changes in how it handles what used to be called attributes and options
- a look at the new admin menu
- what has not been done as of this date
- where to find the tarball to download and play
I do hope you plan to join me --
Refreshments always welcome!

Try To Make It
I am going to try to make it. I have been sick this past week and may be too tired by end of day to make it. It would be great to see the new Drupal Commerce pieces in action.

Good luck, Maryann! I hope
Good luck, Maryann! I hope you were able to sort out the Ubercart issue you were having there the last day. : )
New to Drupal
Hey,
I just found this group and I'm more then excited to learn that there are frequent meetings about the uses of Drupal and E-Commerce. I've just recently started working with Drupal and I'm currently on the prowl for a decent E-Commerce module that works with Drupal 7.
I've got a project that is going to use Drupal and needs to have an E-Commerce Feature that's due within a month and I really could use some guidance. Hopefully I can make it to a meeting.
glad you found us
Our meetings are the 3rd Wednesday of the month -- look forward to getting to know you at one of our upcoming meetings.
Thanks!

meeting follow-up
We had a great meeting and THANK YOU to Keith for being there.
It was quite different for me to build the cart from scratch versus using the prebuilt distribution we had for the preconference training in Chicago. However, with Keith's help, we were able to accomplish the stated agenda.
Look forward to seeing everyone in April!
