Event type:

User group meeting

Our April Meeting will be 7:00 PM Thursday, April 28, at the St. Louis Artist's Guild, Two Oak Knoll Park, in Clayton.

We will meet in the conference room on the first floor. Enter the building through the side door with the ramp, and look for the first door on the right, a short distance inside. Go through that door and make a hairpin turn to the right, and look for the conference room just ahead.

We do not have a planned agenda, so if anyone has anything they would like to present, let us know in the discussion here. Projector availability is unknown at this point, but I can check into that (apparently the Guild's projector is partially on the fritz at this point), or perhaps Jeff G has something to present, and could bring his projector.

If anyone went to DrupalCon Chicago, we would love to hear from you.

I haven't been able to attend the last couple meetings, so I'm looking forward to this.

Are there any requirements

Are there any requirements (age, Drupal knowledge, etc.), to be able to attend?
Thanks,
Dan

Everyone is welcome

No, no requirements for age or level of knowledge. Come on out and join us.

also, Dan, I'd like to hear more about your site.

All Are Welcome

Dan, we encourage everyone to attend - from professionals to those who are only curious. It's not uncommon to spend a fair amount of time asking each other questions and bouncing ideas around.

I'll be there...

I'll be there tonight.

Also, I'm sure you've all seen this, but I think it's great for problem posters:

Sorry but I won't be able to make it there tonight. It's my wife's b-day.

and it looks like the OG admin changes are in. I just got a note that I'm an admin for this group. Guess I better not miss next month's meeting. :)

Have a good meeting. See you all next month.

Looks handy

Sorry, guys. Last minute

Posted by gkelly on April 28, 2011 at 6:37pm

Sorry, guys. Last minute obligations to attend to tonight so I can't make it. Hopefully next time.

Updated meeting room location!

Posted by jpro on April 28, 2011 at 10:48pm

Hey everybody, we have a last-minute change in meeting rooms at the Guild. The conference room has had some roof leak issues, so we will be meeting in an open gallery area on the second floor, above the conference room, more or less.

Go in the same side door as always, or as described in my earlier direction if this is your first meeting. Once inside, instead of making the first hairpin turn through the first door, go a little farther, and turn right into the main hallway, and look for the stairs. (I think the stairs will be to the right in this hallway) Go up one flight to the second floor. (There is an elevator in the main hallway if the stairs are an issue for you.)

We will meet in the Children's Gallery on the second floor. it is an open gallery area toward the end of the building. I'm giving these directions from memory, so they are a little fuzzy... I'll try to get there early and post some signs. Hopefully a long folding table and chairs will be set up for us by the time we arrive. We should still have good Wifi reception in that area.

See you this evening.

Report or program tonight?

Posted by eliotr on April 28, 2011 at 11:22pm

Hey, I have another 7 pm meeting. Will anyone be giving a report on DrupalCon? If so might it be done early. Else, and if nothing else is planned for the evening, I may go to the play and panel discussion on bullying, which relate to my work. Thanks for letting me know. See you all next month if not tonight.

Eliot

Sorry for short notice. I was

Posted by westbywest on April 28, 2011 at 11:57pm

Sorry for short notice. I was called into a commitment here in south city this evening, and the prep is preventing me from attending this meeting.

I am nevertheless happy to work online and in person as one of the new moderators for STL Drupal. I also hope to draft a quick recap of my visit to DrupalCon Chicago last week on my new site at http://benwest.name
