We're having coffee and talking Drupal tomorrow, February 26, 2009 at Coffee Connection (also known as The Vineyard Cafe). Afterwards, we might go out to dinner or go looking for something stronger than the Coffee Connection's espresso. You're invited!
When: 5pm to 7:30pm on Thursday, January 29, 2009 |
Where: Coffee Connection at 3838 S Centinela Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90066 |
Topics
Usually there aren't any predetermined topics, but the labs and lightning talks didn't really happen as planned at last night's meetup so we're focusing on patches and how to use them.
Prerequisites
Do you develop your Drupal sites in a Windows environment?
- Please get Cygwin set up and install the patchutils tools before showing up at the Drupal Cafe.
Do you develop your Drupal sites in a Mac OS X environment?
- Download and install the XCode development tools (for this link to work you'll need an Apple Developer Connection account and be logged in with it). The download is nearly a gigabyte in size so I'll have a copy on hand tomorrow if you have any problems.
Location
We're meeting at Coffee Connection on the corner of Venice Blvd. and S. Centinela Ave. It's a sweet place right around the corner from the Venice Grind, where Drupal Cafe has been in the past. It has plenty of tables and parking, ample wi-fi and a really nice courtyard. Yelp has two separate listings for it:

Never done patching
So I'm a bit leary. Heck, I've been wanting to do a checkout of the main branch so I could play around on my sandbox. And this is a few steps before patching hehe.
Any other topics going to be discussed? Afraid I might not be much of a contributor.
Being part of the group is a
Being part of the group is a perfectly good way of contributing. Hope to see you at the café!
I'm sorry but can't make it
I'm sorry but can't make it christefano but can't make it because of work conflict.
We updated Rounded Corners
We updated Rounded Corners to Drupal 6. See http://drupal.org/node/227260#comment-1297354 for the patch (and zip file) and mark it "reviewed & tested" if it works for you. It worked for us in our limited testing.
Excellent patch work
That's great! Ali, did you hear!!!
Props to the folks who got to attend the cafe meetup. Props to Christefano for organizing.
