User group meeting
The ninth Brevard County Drupal meetup will take place on Thursday, March 24 at 7pm in downtown Melbourne. This is a change from our usual 2nd Thursday of the month meetup.
The meetup will take place at the offices of Radiant Blue - 516 East New Haven Avenue. As part of the agreement to use their facilities, everyone walking through the door must sign the visitor's sheet. For this meetup, there will not be WiFi access, but we will have access to a presentation screen and there will be one computer with internet connectivity.
For the agenda, I'd like to suggest the following topics:
- DrupalCon Chicago recap
- Coding for a Cause April Meetup Sprint
- Drupal 7 Q&A
Feel free to suggest additional topics in the comments.
Thanks,

RDF in D7
Mike I really liked the series of articles on RDF that you wrote a while back. Could you give us a little update on what is actually available now in D7 with respect to RDF? also what is available about Geolocation? Thanks a lot. We are looking forward to the meeting.
Coding for cause
It's great that you broke up the tasks - I'd like to help with the register for newsletter task. We will be traveling starting this weekend but I can work from the road. Will you be discussing this at the meetup?

meetup recap
The ninth Brevard Drupal meetup took place last night at the offices of Radiant Blue in downtown Melbourne (thanks Scottie!). Seven people were in attendance (Maggie, Gil, Ben, Steve, Ed, Scottie, and myself).
We discussed DrupalCon Chicago (specifically Drupal Commerce), had a walk-through of the new Views 3.x UI in Drupal 7 (drool-worthy), and investigated and discussed Drupal 7's use of RDFa.
For the RDFa discussion, we first had a quick discussion about what RDFa is and why it is important. We then took a look at Drupal's default RDFa markup before we installed the RDF module to see what options we had for tweaking the markup. Because of the lack of WiFi at the venue, we only made partial progress. I sat down this morning determined to figure out how to get things totally working. Here's what I did:
To cap off the meeting, Gil did a quick demo of the amazing Data Science Toolkit. Even though it isn't directly related to Drupal, it blew us all away.
Our next meetup is tentatively schedule for Thursday, April 14 (pending approval from our venue).
