User group meeting

Join us for our next Toronto Drupal User Group meeting on June 27. The meeting with take place at CSI, 215 Spadina Ave, Suite 120, starting at 6:30pm.

Please note, the front door closes at 6pm, so you may need to go through the Dark Horse Cafe. They have some amazing espresso. The cafe closes at 7pm, meaning you will not be able to enter the building after 7pm.

Agenda so far:
- Arvin: couple of modules
- Dave: Transclusion module
- Dupal Kitchen update
- Drupalcamp Toronto 2011 (time permitting): where? when? and what was great about dcto2010 that we can build on? See google doc for this discussion: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t8K6aMXr--RjCSN1-OGDvFxpCUSIMFTdsGQy...
- announcements, if any

Comment below if you would like to add something to the agenda. The sooner you comment the earlier your item will be on the agenda, which means you will benefit from a more alert audience. :)

Dave, I mentioned the mailing list. Check http://groups.drupal.org/toronto and you'll see the signup info at the top of the page. ;)

Also, we don't have a CSI host listed in the spreadsheet for this meeting. Cleaver, can you help out again?

thanks

I had found the mailing list link just before i posted the event.

I think either Cleaver or Sebastian can act as host, so can either of you help out with that?

I think it's booked.

Ha, I get the G.D.O mail, but this time it got lost with about 200 other of it's peers. I'll take care of the dancers, light show and projector.

Edit: Sebastian, can you bring the bubble machine again this month?

Gum and dancers? I must have

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to the meeting now, so my item will have to be removed from the agenda. Regarding DrupalCamp, a few of us have done a bit of investigation on a space and a bit more. I'll post a summary here tomorrow when I'm back from New Orleans.

"My item" being Drupalcamp

"My item" being Drupalcamp 2011? For those of us who are out of town but interested in helping organize, what's the best way to get involved?

I was actually referring to

I was actually referring to the HTML5 presentation. If you want to get involved with DrupalCamp, just say so. :) We have an admin mailing list you could join as well. I've sent you the info.

Sebastian, can you open up

Sebastian, can you open up and grab the projector? I'll be coming down from Myplanet, so it might be hard to make it on time.

@All, do we need some more content for the meeting? Any ideas? Show and tell what you've been up to lately?

I added some updates to the

I believe a secret mailing list link becomes less secret to spammers if it's publicly posted. ;) It might be best to remove the link. At least, that's what I was originally told when I joined them back in the day.

I would imagine one of the admins (James or Kevin) would be able to delete or edit the post.
