Presentation
I am going to present the Media Consortium Headline search site.
It is a really cool use of aggregator2 (being replaced by leech).
I'd also love to talk about putting together a DEP for send/forward/email a friend functionality, right now there are a bunch of modules that do this, each with slightly different feature sets, I've got big ideas for making it better.

Tentative
Attendance for me is rather tentative. Lots of stuff going on at work at the moment.
DUG Notes
We discussed the Drupal database design and wishes that there were more documentation including Entity Relationship Diagrams.
Many modules were brought up with questions about functionality and use:
Aggregator is a core module that syndicates content such as RSS feeds by bringing the headline, teaser and link into the database.
Aggregator2 is similar but presents the feed data as a first class node. This project has been superseded by the Leech module. http://drupal.org/project/leech

We briefly touched on some Views module related topics including Views Fusion which joins multiple views together. http://drupal.org/project/views_fusion
Several people were interested in the Trace module http://drupal.org/project/trace which allows developers or admins to output errors in a variety of ways for review.
An Edit function for admins on each block would speed up configuration and seems to be under development by one of the Google SOC students under the project name, LiveEdit. http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/timcn/soc/liv...
We covered the tracking of users or objects via modules such as Plazes http://drupal.org/node/37281 and Gmaps http://drupal.org/project/gmap.
