At this month's meet-up we have two terrific speakers...
Todd Way (tway) is going to talk about building a community site with lots of advanced features, including...
Group-specific Features and Local Menu Tweaks
Adapting a Drupal Site for Mobile and Low-bandwidh Browsers
Contextual Search and Filtering with Views, Apache Solr, and Core Search
Patrick Thurmond (pthurmond) will be talking about the process of building a module and submitting it to drupal.org. Patrick wrote a module that integrates the Embedit.in player/service with Drupal for embedding files of all types in a node. You can check out the project page here: http://drupal.org/project/embeditin
Also, if anyone wants to chat about other topics such as basic site building, theming etc., please speak up. We have plenty of conference rooms and can split off into groups.
And of course... there will be free pizza!

Base Themes and/or Migrate Module
In our last meeting a couple of folks said that they've had good experiences with base themes. I'd love to hear a talk on building on a base theme and a demonstration of some of the advantages. If you used the Omega theme that would be extra awesome.
I'm also starting to look at the Migrate module, mostly for bulk loading the initial content of a site from spreadsheets (CSV files), but I'd be interested to see how folks are using Migrate no matter what they're doing with it.
