Event type: 
User group meeting

The April meetup of the West Midlands group, we'll do introductions, then have two 15 minute presentations (details below), then we'll have time for general discussion. It's been an entire year since the last meetup, so we'll have plenty to discuss. This will be the first of a regular series of meetups, every two months, on the third Tuesday of the month.

This meetup will take place at the Coventry offices of Computerminds Ltd. If you want to attend you will need to signup so I can sort you out with directions and be expecting you, otherwise you might not get into the building! Also, we have limited space :( but all are welcome.

During the meetup we'll have two short, 15 minute, presentations:

  • A demonstration of Aegir - The Drupal hosting system.
  • There's a module for that - 5 modules to know and love.

The Coventry Computerminds offices are at:
101 Lockhurst Lane, Coventry, CV6 5SF.
Look for the signs for 'Citibase'. You can park at the venue, in the car park at the front.

See you there…

Hopefully see you there.

Thanks to everyone who

Thanks for hosting & organising the meetup Steven.

People who were interested in mobile themes should check out IUI -> http://drupal.org/project/iui if you want an 'iOs like' mobile theme.

Thanks

Hi all,

Thanks for organising the event Steven. It was good to meet others using Drupal, and encouraging to know that there are those with far more experience than me in the local area.

Drew - will have to take a closer look at iUI when I get a chance, could be very useful.

See you all at the next meetup, hopefully not so long a wait this time.

Ian.

Thanks

Hi Steven,

I just want to join in with the others to thank you for having organised the meeting last week - I really enjoyed attending, and as Ian says, I'm encouraged to know that there are other experienced developers in the area.
