User group meeting
For our June meeting, a few members of the group will show us cool things they have done in the course of developing web sites for their own or for clients.
We have Lana and Jen doing a 30 minute segment each showing all of us challenges they faced, things they learned, and other cool stuff that will be helpful.
We can use another person to fill another 30 minutes, or two for 20 minutes each. It can be anything from a nice looking theme, several contributed modules put together in a unique way, or anything else that you are proud of doing and wish to let others know how it was done.
The remainder of the meeting will be for general news in the Drupal community or general questions and answers.

Postponed to June

Anyone is welcome to present anything they have worked on or discovered while working with Drupal sites. It can be theming, a little known module, a combination of modules used in a clever way.
Contact me using my groups contact form if you have something you can say in 20 minutes or so. The more people the less time each one will have.

Just a reminder that this
Just a reminder that this session is on for tonight at 7PM. I'm looking forward to it!
Awesome sites!
I have to say WOW, just WOW for the two sites that were presented today.
Looking forward to the links to the slides in this thread, and then seeing fully fleshed show case studies on the drupal.org forums. Definitely shows creativity, beauty and what Drupal can do.
Thanks to Jen and Lara.
One question was about writing code from scratch or using a framework. To me, Drupal has always been a framework. It just happens to be a CMS too.
Here is a list of PHP frameworks:

And here is a grid comparing them.
http://www.phpframeworks.com/ and the top 10 voted ones http://www.phpframeworks.com/top-10-php-frameworks/
Drupal, with all the add ons and a huge community around it, still wins in 90% of the cases.
