Hello Drupal

Assuming there are at least 2-3 interested participants, I'm going to run the 1.5 hour version of this "Hello Drupal" training http://training.acquia.com/hello_drupal as a break-out during the 1st part of the evening.

There is no charge, but cash donations of $5-$10 encouraged to defray the cost of our meetup.com group.

Can not make it

I need to leave for Pittsburgh Thursday morning - darn!

I you don't have enough participants this month, I would look forward to hearing it next month if that is possible.

Please download that. If you want to take part, it would be helpful to do the steps on page 3 in advance:
