Missed it

Ah, I can't believe I missed the 1/19 DUG. I've been waiting for something close (to Decatur) and didn't follow this post. I am new to Drupal, not a module contributor but have built 2 sites now using Drupal. Ultimately my goal is to learn as much as possible about using Drupal and maybe someday be an active contributor.

Point is, I may have nothing to add to the DUG but would love to be a fly on the wall and take in as much as possible.

Hope to attend in February!

February Plan

Hi Landon,

In February we decided to take a road trip to Bloomington to join their meeting. So the date and time have slightly changed.

Here is our plan for February:

Tuesday Feb. 28
Meet at 5:15pm at Pixo parking lot
Directions: http://pixotech.com/directions

We will car pool together to the Bloomington Meetup which starts at 6:30pm. We will arrive back in C-U around 9pm.

More details and reminders to come. Please save the date and mark your calendars.

-Brandon

Future Topic Suggestions

bowersox's picture

Here are future topics that the group last week suggested for future Meet Ups this year:

  • SEO in Drupal - Jason Rambeck offered to present about this
  • Date and Calendar - Karen Stevenson offered this
  • Display Suite - Karen Stevenson also suggested the Lullabot.com article and MustardSeed video

Context module was also mentioned, but nearly everyone present already was using it so we decided it might not be a great presentation for this group.

Any other topics you want?
