Those of us who were at DrupalCon will be sharing what we learned at the next meetup on April 9. Maybe we can set up a poll to see who wants to hear about what, but for now we will list some takeaway topics we left the conference with.

  • DH: How to set up true WYSIWYG in Drupal 6 or 7
  • DH: Responsive theming overview
  • DH: New and improved Panels
  • DH: What are entities in D7 and when to use them

Planning for the meeting

Looks like we can break the topics into two groups: Instructional (how to) and Informational. We could probably combine all the informational stuff into one meeting and then do instructional topics in separate meetings.

Or, we just do a mini drupalcon with our takeaways at next meeting, and then have the group select what topics they'd like to hear more on in the next meetings. What do you think?

My Takeaways

If I can make the April 9 meeting, I could give BRIEF updates on any of these that people might want to hear about:

TP - Why Drupal is Taking Off in Government
TP - Non-Profits Integrating Drupal, CiviCRM, SalsaLabs, Salesforce
TP - Multi-Lingual Options for D7
TP - Acquia's Enterprise Drupal Gardens (SaaS Drupal for 100+ sites)
TP - DrupalCon for the Non-Coder - A First-Person Testimony :-)

ALL - Drupal Developer Shortage - Is it an issue here? If so, what can we do?
