Plans?

  • LIGHTNING ROUNDS
    New feature. Have a topic you can present in 5 minutes (with 5 more minutes for questions)? The basic idea is there are patterns for developing sites the "drupal" way ("what would drupal do? etc."). Tell us a quick 5 minute recipe for how to put the Drupal "bricks" together. Theming techniques or other things may also be appropriate. Propose it below. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation.

    • Signup for a Lightening Talk
    • Sortable Fieldsets ~ decibel.places
    • Android app for DrupalCampNYC 10 ~ ericduran
  • 20 Min Talks
    Have a topic that needs more then 5 minutes, we have slots of 20 minute talks. The basic idea is there are broader subjects or more detailed discussions this is the type of talk you would want to signup for, please mention 20 min talk when posting your talk description and the audience you expect to speak to.

    • Compass Image Sprites ~ snugug
    • VoIP Drupal ~ leoburd
    • Signup for a Full 20 Talk
    • Signup for a Full 20 Talk
    • Signup for a Full 20 Talk
  • We will also have the New 2 Drupal BoF(birds of a feather). If you are new to Drupal and the talks don't apply to you some of us will take a group and talk with you about your issues.

This may be a good time to test drive a presentation before the upcoming Drupal Camp NYC 10, also think about target audience and experience level of your presentation.

Signup Instructions!: 7 World Trade Center security checks your photo id against the list of attendees that we provide.

Kind of quiet

Was just thinking the same thing casaswing!

Anyway, if this is going to happen, I'd be happy to give a 5 or 20 on Compass Image Sprites.

First Tuesday ????

Are we moving the regular meetups to First Tuesday of the month? Or is this a one time change?

I personally don't mind...because I don't have to miss my NOVA/Nature shows on PBS.

Tuesday is a one-off change

This meetup happening on Tuesday is a one-off change. They'll be back to the normal Wednesday night after this.

VoIP Drupal presentation

leoburd's picture

Hello all,

If possible, I'd love to do a 20-minute presentation on VoIP Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/voipdrupal).

VoIP Drupal is an open source platform that facilitates the creation of Drupal sites that handle not just web, but also SMS, IM, Twitter and even calls from regular touch tone phones. The platform can be used to build all sorts of hybrid systems, including:

  • Voice- and SMS-based Go Out to Vote campaigns
  • 2-1-1, 3-1-1 and other information hotlines
  • Phone-based community surveys
  • PTA and other meeting reminders
  • Story recording / playback
  • Interactive community radio programs
  • Geo-based callblasts aimed at specific streets or locations
  • And much more!

In my presentation, I'll introduce VoIP Drupal, demonstrate a few examples of the platform in use, and describe ways for people to start building their own telephone- and voice-enhanced websites.

Best,

Leo

I would love to hear this, and to meet Leo.

I would love to hear this, and to meet Leo.

I have been working with the local Occupy Wall Street group that is developing Drupal-based (and other based) web tools for that movement.'

VoIP integration with the web tools is critical, and is stalled for the moment.

I have been following Leo's work at MIT, but have not been able to put much time and effort into getting it working for the OWS project and another project.

This would be an ideal session for me.

Looking forward to your presentation tonight.

Since not all 20 minute slots are filled, may the two that are in place can have some extra time :-)

mcaudy's picture

I will try to come for Leo't talk about Drupal VoIP, but I am not sure if I can get in

Leo, are you going to be in NYC on Wednesday. I would definitely like to talk with you, and meet if possible.

I am working on Drupal-based projects for the Occupy Wall Street movement, and we need cell phone integration with Drupal and the OWS movement.

Please call or e-mail me: cell: 917 435 -3624
e-mail: mcaudy at gmail dot com

Thanks

Can we meet at the regular time on Wednesday instead?

Is this change to Tuesday etched in stone?

Tuesday overlaps completely with our regular Internet Working Group meeting for the Occupy Wall Street devs.

Can we meet at the regular time on Wednesday instead?

Mansueto had an event on

Mansueto had an event on 12/07/11 so we were lucky enough to get the room on 12/06 this month. There are no plans currently to change the night

Functionality developed for my last contract role, making fieldgroups draggable/sortable on node/add and node/edit forms

Eventually I hope to package it as a contributed module for the community

patoshi's picture

not much stuff happening as it seems, I guess everyone is waiting for saturday.

I'll be bringing in some friends that very new to drupal and giving them a run through of the newbie stuff to prepare for this coming drupalcamp. so anyone interested in beginner stuff bring your laptop! I will be going over on how to make a simple slideshow using views_slideshow and going over cck and drupal terminology.

I'll do a lighting round on

I'll do a lighting round on the Android app for the conference. The app should be on the market by then.

Time wrong

c4rl's picture

Just an FYI the time should read 2011-12-06 18:30 - 21:00 instead of 2011-12-06 16:30 - 21:00

@mcaudy - this month's meetup

tom_o_t's picture

@mcaudy - this month's meetup is on Tuesday - Mansueto had something else happening in the room on our normal day. This is just a one-off.
@c4rl - thanks - adjusted the time to 18:30.

lightening vs lightning

decibel.places's picture

The rapid electrostatic release is spelled "lightning"

If something is becoming less heavy, one could say it is "lightening"

we shall see which one applies to my presentation ;)

:\ bad news. My project isn't

Snugug's picture

:\ bad news. My project isn't far enough along for launch that I will be able to make it tonight. That being said, if you're still interested in Compass Image Sprites, that'll be part of the SASS talk at Drupal Camp NYC (and probably followup BoF) so stop by then!
