Here are the notes from our Aug 7th meeting.
Alex and Eric were first time attendees. WELCOME!
I presented on PANELS for Drupal5. I used our group page as a demo then showed off my dentist's site.
We spent a brief time discussing D5 vs.D6 and marveled at so many modules coming out so quickly. I'm still waiting for Panels to come out.
We discussed TWITTER and I don't believe anyone got injured in the crossfire. There's a new post from Tonyv that explains the excitement over that.
I also went on a long dissertation about www.acquia.net which is a company that is offering Commercially Supported Drupal. Again... I spoke in favor of the notion and while I can not guarantee the financial success of the business model, I do like the premise and purpose of the company. A brief discussion arose that perhaps Acquia is not needed. We decided to let the passing of time determine how things roll out.
