Connecticut Weekend Meetup Discussion

I thought it would be best if we started a new discussion around the idea of starting a weekend meetup 1 day a month.

I know there is a good amount of interest in holding a weekend meetup, so we need to figure out a few things.

1. Location (Town/City)

   • Should this be around central ct, so that most people are traveling the same distance?

2. Venue / Facility

   • What type of venue is best?
   • Is WiFi available?
   • How available is parking?
   • Public vs. Private access?

3. Date / Time

   • Does either Saturday or Sunday work, or do people prefer one over the other?
   • What time during the day?
   • How long should it be? Typical meetup duration now is 2hrs.
   • Upcoming weekends: 10/15-16, 10/22-23, 10/29-30, 11/5-6, 11/12-13, 11/19-20, 11/26-27 (close to holiday), 12/3-4, 12/10-11, 12/17-18
     If everything lines up correctly we could possibly hold two of these before the end of the year.

4. Topics / Format

   • Should the format be exactly the same as a meetup?
   • Should the format be setup like a camp?
   • Can we run it more like a playday similar to the NYC group?
   • Is it training or informational presentations?

Feel free to speak up and voice any solutions to the questions above, and hopefully we can come up with something that works for most people and will help the connecticut drupal community.
