North Shore Drupal Meetup
Calling all North Shore Drupalists - let's get together and explore Drupal and maybe a refreshing beverage or two :)
We billed this as "Drupal Theming part 2"... not sure if I can legally call this part 2, since we didn't really complete a part 1 - but ... let's pick up where we left off, or simply talk about our experiences with and/or personal approaches to theming.
I plan to explore the Omega theme this month, and would love to talk about that, as well as getting back to our stroll through Drupal Gardens and how to really stretch the themes there :)

Post Conference COD Configurations - Best Practices for Configuring Comments on a COD Site to Avoid Spam
After D4D Boston 2011, videos of most of the sessions were added to the session pages. Awesome!
Unfortunately it doesn't look a human being or service is being used to manage comments or account approval on the site so it is quickly filling up with comment spam. Not so awesome.
So thanks to the effort several volunteers have already put into the site and conference we had this great resource, but because it isn't being maintained we can't really point people to a session page with adding a disclaimer...

Please review my patches!
As I mentioned at last night's meetup, I have been frustrated that my patches linger on the issue cues. I am leaving for a one-week vacation, so I will not immediately follow up on the other advice I received, but someone suggested that I invite fellow Boston Druaplistas to have a look, so here I go.

Forming a Drupal in Higher Edu Consortium
I've been having a conversation via email with a bunch of higher EDU drupal developers which I'm sick of just talking about so let's make it happen: A Drupal in Higher Education Consortium. The goal of this isn't some kind of bloated, formal relationship but instead a series of lightweight tools across different websites (this one included) in order to help each other through problems we face.
