Drupal NYC Meetup -- September 7th

I got a great response from that presentation ... would anyone like a quick recap of it?

John's talk "From Margin to Center -> A Map to Navigate the Journey from Open Source to Personal Gain" will touch on 3 major themes in site development: 1) Ethics in Practice, 2) Desires and Skills, 3) The Secret of Our Success.

Yay were up...

So as for August meetup I decided to just pay for a vimeo account to create a NYC Meetup Channel to upload these presentations as the free one was annoying with their 500mb upload limit.

So now we have a video channel up: http://vimeo.com/channels/drupalnyc

Also want to give a really big thanks to Kenny and Jeong from AV Event Stream for volunteering to help us record, stream and edit everyone's presentations. At first I thought it would be easy to just record and edit with a mini camcorder, but that definately does not work as the sound and lighting is completely off as tried before with forest's cam. These recordings wouldnt have been possible without their professional equipment and help. Hopefully we can one day convert them to Drupal instead of wondering what we're talking about at these meetups. =)

Since this coming meetup is going to be streamed again, I wonder how many viewers we can get. Last time we announced it last minute on IRC and we already hit 22 viewers. It would be awesome if we can be the world's top drupal meetup group with the most attendees and online viewers! Imagine your presentations being seen by over 100 people from around the world.

Oh and this coming meetup I want to present on something I worked on last month, as there isnt really any upto date tutorials on ubercart theming:

Presentation:
Demystified Drupal 7 Ubercart 3.x Checkout Theming

Will be going over how to theme the horribly annoying checkout section of Ubercart 3.x on Drupal 7.
0. Before and After Ubercart screenshots
1. Go over how the checkout / review page is constructed.
2. Theme functions that are involved
3. Quick overview of what I updated for easier css styling. Damn those tables!

Hopefully I'll be able to get this presentation written up by then.

Thanks for everyone making this possible!

P.S. I made some Drush designed reference wood engravings this time. I only have about 15-20 left of blank woods left. I wont be able to engrave it all as i can only make 3 a hour whenever i have time. i still have the VIM and D7 api woods too. Anyone interested let me know.

Sat in on a session at DrupalCon London and I would LOVE to show off some of the ridiculously amount of awesomesauce that DS brings. It does WAAAAAAY more than I ever thought it could and has utterly changed my theming strategy.

I propose a 20min session if people want to hear about the magnitude of awesomeness that this module brings. You'll never theme the same way again

I am interested in doing a 20 minute talk on "Social Media & Mobile Integration (for Drupal)" as test for a Drupal Camp NYC session.

Having built a few sites using Omega, I could give a lightning talk on the Omega Base Theme (5-8 minutes).

--What is Omega
--Create a subtheme using Omega tools or Drush
--Demo theme settings
--Media queries/Responsive design (time permitting)
--Delta Layouts & Delta Blocks via Context (time permitting)
--Questions, Etc. (time permitting)

Geared toward php noobs in need of more control over layouts by way of Omega theme settings.

I'd love to give a little talk on SASS; what it is, how it works, why it's good, etc… Basically, a smaller version of my BoF from DrupalCon London and a test for DrupalCamp NYC

Also, as a side note, it's not letting me sign up even though I've got my full name associated with my account.
Nevermind, a simple front end CSS hack let me put in my full name on Groups and I'm good to go now.

Hi everyone. I am really excited for this week's meeting.

Over the weekend, I took a trip down memory lane and realized that 25 Aug 2005 is first time NYC Drupalers met up for regularly scheduled meetings. This means for this meeting we mark our 6th birthday and the beginning of our 7th year. NYC is one of FIRST drupal user groups in the world. Also, we are home to "DrupalCamp". While I never thought Drupal would amount to such a crazy community, I'm excited to see what the next half of the decade brings.

(Sidenote - On 17 May 2005, there was a civicspace day that brought us all together. The very first, unconference "DrupalCamp" was held in NYC and was organized on 13 May 2006.)

robbiethegeek:
I may be incredibly dense, but is there a URL for the AV Event Stream for the streaming of tonight's meeting? I don't seem to find the information in these discussions. Can you post the URL here? Could definitely pass the word for viewers... thanks.
Tim

What a great set of presentations! I hope someone will post slides/notes. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to miss this one after all, and October's too. Looking forward to seeing you all in November.

Was great meeting y'all ... Play day mission, damn the torpedoes - full speed ahead!

Does this mean you're a googler now?
