new venue!
We will be hosted by Metrowest cabal of our Boston group. Go to Natick's public library, the Morse Institute Library, 14 East Central Street, Natick, Massachusetts. This is less than one block from the Natick stop on the MBTA Commuter Rail's Worcester/Framingham/Boston line. When you get there, go up the stairs, take a right, and you'll find us in one of the study rooms in that area.
Lightning Talks
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to present for 5 minutes on a topic of their choosing. You may show off your Drupal site, ask some questions of the audience, give a module demonstration, share some marketing ideas for Drupal, and so on. Just keep it brief. No expertise or planning required - just do it.
The next meetup will likely be march 31 or April 1 in Providence, MA at the Biltmore hotel. The meetup will be attended by many of the attendees of the Lullabot workshop.

The meetup is in the Community Room
Downstairs and to the left, then bear right -- follow the Drupal signs! to the meetup.
Agaric Design Collective is providing a projector (brand new) so if you want to hook up your computer to show or ask something, go for it!!

Won't be able to make it
Was great seeing people down in DC and wish I could be there to follow-up, but today's just not the day...
See you all next time,

Meetup Report-back
Great meetup! Ten people and really good discussion after the DrupalCon reportbacks and lightning talks.
We shared our inspirations. Dan's was to talk about free software principles more at Drupal and other events, so he did ;-)
Kathleen's was to organize more testing of Drupal by humans, not just the automated testing that's all new and shiny right now, and during the meetup she was given admin access (after chatting on IRC) to the testing and quality assurance group to do just that.
I talked about more community funding of Drupal contributions, including code sprints (RDF in core sprint coming up, scor (in attendance!) will be a huge part of that) and I really urge people to support the DecisionMakingAPI module that was vetted by the Drupal community as part of the Knight Drupal Initiative, but not funded by Knight.
More inspiration to give back more and do cool things with Drupal!
One question about Panels 2 might be better answered by this slideshow - http://www.starbowconsulting.com/node/117 - than by our demo of OG Panels on groups.drupal.org!

great to meet the locals
I enjoyed seeing new faces last night. I liked the demo at the end by Adam, and see how he uses Drupal for his use case. Interesting to see such a small city attracting 10 people :)
Are there any plan to post the links Dan wrote down, or are they posted somewhere else?
