Update: Agenda Changes
The last monthly meetup went really well. We had another great turn out and 2 really excellent presentations. Thanks again to our presenters and I hope you enjoy the Drupal schwag! We're still growing and will need a larger venue soon, so if anyone has any good contacts please let me know.
This month we have 2 more great presentations, plus should be a good news presentation. See down below for the full agenda.
Sign Up!
When: Thursday, March 19th
Time: 7pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:45!!)
Venue: ABC Centre 700 Harris Street, Ultimo ( Map | Directions )
Venue Details
The ABC Centre has some security issues, so it is important that people arrive early and sign in at the security desk so that James can take everyone into the building at once. Everyone just waits and chats in the lobby, so just look around for us if you're new. If you have problems you can call either of us. Many thanks go to the ABC for providing this venue.
Parking is possible at parking meters around thomas street and mary-anne street. But they take a 2 hour max i think. There are carparks behind the abc $15 (enter from thomas street, but on the chinatown side)

Update to parking details at ABC
Ryan, you can get all-evening parking at the Citigate (I think that's the name) parking station for $7 (starting after 5pm, I think, and stays open until well after midight).
It's at the end of the Thomas street dead end (Eastern/Chinatown side), which is very close to the ABC's back entrance.
