Btw, is there anything I can do to help with organizing the meeting?

i think start an "event"

joetsuihk's picture

i think start an "event" thread for the next meetup earlier, and start discussing topics that you want to discuss will help

actually i think we do not need a topic/presentation every time.

I am looking forward for your

I am looking forward for your next arrangement, too. In case of August meetup my partner Sky and I finally prepare some topic and live demo about SCSS + Zen half day before and some Drupal 7.x i18n related ad-hoc sharing... But as event organizer didn't show up...

IMHO topic/presentation may not be the most important of a successful meetup; BTW, at least we need someone contribute and serve other else so everyone can enjoy the event, don't you agree? ;-)

I'm always amazed how HKDUG

kelvinleehk's picture

I'm always amazed how HKDUG meetup can survive after all these time relying on the contribution from just a few of you, particularly from Edison, Brent and Joe. Such an amazing job you guys have done for the community!

I'm sure there are many of others willing waiting to be engaged to help with the group to make it a more engaging and lively meetup. Perhaps we can explore more ways to engage the community? I'm more than happy to help if there is anything I can do :D

Can't make it sorry!

TYPO3 + Drupal = LOVE

BodoEichstaedt's picture

Anyone interest in a TYPO3 Enterprise CMS presentation?

I am a german TYPO3 evangelist/developer/UG host and quiet new to Drupal and new in HK. I could show some TYPO3 live demo (no boring PowerPoint, don't worry) to give some inspirations plus answer questions about common and different approaches.

I also can talk about the open source community spirit in Germany/Europe and the great friendship of TYPO3 and Drupal User Groups in my hometome Berlin (the capital city with the former wall).

Happy to meet you guys!
