Scratch that. Pichot is out of town. Anybody else wanna step up? Or if not, we can always skip right over to the bev-up.

I'm sure we'll have something

I'm sure we'll have something to talk about. Let me think . . . . .

Overcommitted

So I overcommitted myself on this one. I'll actually be driving back up from Nashville on this day. Can someone cover for me? Or should we postpone? My apologies.

What do you want to hear about?

Any topics we've had on the wish list? I'm willing to lead a discussion, if it's something I know anything about.

This would be more to the

This would be more to the point perhaps (and cover a primmer on programming in PHP), how about the topic: "Create a simple module: why and how with a simple case illustration" Answers the questions: why you may sometimes need to create a module. How to do it. When not to do it. What are the alternatives?

Like?

modifying book pager

I think I could stand to learn a bit about php and module building, especially when it would be useful or not. I am currently working on a site that I'd really like to change the book pager. Maybe I just need to ask for assistance online? It would be nice to talk about at a meeting. I'm not sure if I should be using php to do this, if there's another way, or if it is not possible.

How about this?

I just started developing a site on my local machine vs. my more efficient but more dangerous practice of developing on the production server :) But that will lead to the question: Once I have it built (or too some benchmark in development) what are the best practices (steps) to migrate the site to the production server? I think I recall that Drush can do that, but I'm sure there are other ways as well. I have Drush installed on my local machine (finally) but not 100% sure how I go about connecting to my production server (in my case Media Temple). So the topic might be "drush revisted" or alternative methods to migrate a site to a different server.

Thanks -

I can't make it tonight due to a family commitment. But I look forward to coming again soon. I've only been once, but it was great to connect. Hopefully next time!

Subversion Blog Post

I thought I would share this article with you guys since it came up last meeting. This article describes how to create a public SVN repo so that you can work locally with ease.

If anyone needs help I would be glad to help.
