Drupal meetup in Old Town Pasadena! We will be hosting the meetup this month on a Wednesday and NOT on Monday. Monday is designated for fans of America, which I am, so I must abide by these rules. Otherwise, I worry Chuck Norris will show up at all of our doors. At the same time. With Toby Keith. SO instead the meetup will be held on Wednesday, July 6, 2011 from 7-9pm. Everyone is invited. Please bring laptops and chargers if you would like to follow along. There will be time for discussion and job announcements.
Please RSVP by signing up below so we know how many to accommodate. Depending on the turn out we may need people to bring chairs. If you can't attend this month's meetup but would like to come to one in the future, we will be hosting meetups on the first Monday of each month.
Address: 1 S Fair Oaks Ave., Suite 202, Pasadena, CA 91105
Parking: There is free parking after 8pm if you can find a spot on the street. There is also a parking garage across the street. First hour and a half is free and $2/hour after that.
As the other meetups say- "Attending Drupal meetups is one of the best ways to meet and talk with other Drupaleros and we encourage you to attend as many meetings as you can..."
Join us afterward for a Drupal After Dark.

Wednesday Pasadena meetup
Hi Scott, do we have a presenter lined up?
We have had a number (~10) of newcomers at our meetings in Pasadena who showed up once, then realized that the meeting was over their head and have not come back. I would like to see a presentation next month about getting started with Drupal 7. I don't suggest it for this month so that we can post it with enough lead time for people to find it.
Who in our community has been developing in 7 to the point they would feel comfortable giving a ground up talk?
(Hint: this question is for you, not Scott)

wow, did anyone invite Chuck?
wow, did anyone invite Chuck? I wonder if he (or anyone at the actual meetup) would be interested in a website I recently launched using Drupal 7? With the help of Pat Goddard (thund3rbox) and Dan Carlson we migrated an old rickety Joomla site to Drupal7 using views, omega, context, locale, features, nice menus, and a bunch of helper modules? Most of the site was accomplished using pure Drupal and contrib modules. If you'd like to see the site, its at: www.audyssey.com. Maybe I can even talk Pat & Dan into coming if they're available? They both did some amazing work and would prefer if they could share or answer any questions related to the details of what they did.
we could also just focus on certain aspects of how / why we setup Drupal7 and some of the particular modules.

Wish I could make it out :(
Seeing the way Omega pushed forward in development makes we wish I could go back in time and change the starter theme we'd used for our project (we still like the starter theme, but omega is very robust). And it would be very cool to see how you combined everything to make the site - its a very pretty site :)
Beautiful work!
Nice work Mike! I'd love to see a presentation on how you created this especially the home gallery and menus (very sleek).
Going over some of the choices you made when choosing certain modules or why omega will also be of great value to us themers!
Great Looking Site
I love to see a presentation of how you build this site in D7.
Here's the gp.sh script
Here's the gp.sh script that I mentioned during the Git presentation:

It combines
git pull,git add,git commitandgit pushall into one command. It's great.Terrific Speaker on a Super Topic
Many thanks to Mike Stewart - of http://mediadoneright.com/ - for filling two hours with a case study of porting a site to D7.2 using Omega Theme and Context and Delta modules. Very complex and well presented, so I understood, and could replicate many parts of this feat using these tools myself. Omega Theme is a 960gs grid theme with 12, 16, 24, or 32 columns. either fixed or fluid. It's HTML 5 based and Version 3 is just out. The Delta module provided 'zones' that could contain the typical Drupal theme regions, and the Delta module allowed these zones to displayed or not in sub theme templates, well, the equivalent of, without making any subtheme folders, just click away, adding multiple "conditions, one in this case, called Path - the just one path/page would get this special template, missing 4 zones of 7 possible, and multiple "reactions", a Delta and an extra block. Mike made it look easy.
He reviewed the Slideshow, based upon views, with a home page containing 7 separate slideshows, using hover to change the CSS to get rollover images to display.
And he completed this evening's talk with a review of git usage. He talked me into using it. ;-)
Git will be used on our DrupalCampLA.com website, and volunteer members will gain access through this weekend, maybe a little later. He's been putting finishing touches on some upgrades, before uploading the changes, opening it up to theming and content additions. There's another forum covering that announcement. I should not be pre-announcing it in this forum, but he talk about it, so as I am covering the meeting, and it's important, I had to cover it here.
After Dark was at a fav coffee shop, we tried five new food dishes, and the micro brews that punched you out of your socs. http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com
Many thanks to our special member, Chris Stauffer, for the projector used tonight, a sponsoring donation from his firm. http://stauffer.com
And thanks to Scott, our host for the evening, providing a super spacious (tall 3 stories high of fresh air) atrium and chairs.

Fun and Interesting.
Thanks Mike Stewart for yet more good knowledge sharing. Cool trick with slideshows in blocks. Omega, and Delta, now on my study list. Git as well. And thanks as well for the drupalafterdark as well, all. Good conversation.
