Another month, and we're still talking about Drupal - awesome! We've got another set of door prizes this month, so bring something with your contact details to drop into the bowl.

This month you'll learn how to create a custom module and see behind the scenes of another Drupal site.

When: Thursday, June 16th
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:30pm for firm 7pm start)
Venue: ABC Centre 700 Harris Street, Ultimo ( Map | Directions )

Agenda:

  • Greetings and Welcome new people + Announcements
  • Community news
  • Module Highlight(s) by: Ryan Cross
  • Presentation: Drupal 7 Module Development by: Boris Gordon
    Learn the basics of building custom modules for the latest version of Drupal and some tips for upgrading your custom modules.
  • Case Study: TBD by: James Gollan

  • Support & Mentoring Session

  • Continued at the pub with + Drinks/food

Remember to sign up. This will also help us plan numbers/audience.

Venue Details

The ABC Centre has some security issues, so it is important that people arrive early and sign in at the security desk so that we can take everyone into the building at once. Everyone just waits and chats in the lobby, so just look around for us if you're new. If you have problems you can call either of us. Many thanks go to the ABC for providing this venue.

Parking is possible at parking meters around Thomas street and Mary-Anne street. But they take a 2 hour max i think. There are carparks behind the ABC $15 (enter from Thomas street, but on the Chinatown side). Also, you can get all-evening parking at the Citigate (I think that's the name) parking station for (updated) $10 (starting after 5pm, I think, and stays open until well after midnight). It's at the end of the Thomas street dead end (Eastern/Chinatown side), which is very close to the ABC's back entrance.


Post below if you can talk about something (anything is ok, everyone has something to share) or if you're are interested in other topics for discussion.

If there are any notes on any of the presentations, can you please post as I am very interested in the module development for d7.

Have a good night...hope to see you next month.

CSS3 Pie

We have used CSS3 Pie on a project, and had a load of performance issues. It essentially uses the same techniques as described in the article above.
