Start: 
2009-06-04 18:30 - 21:00 America/Denver
Event type: 
User group meeting

After getting deep into server configurations in our May meeting, we're tentatively talking about how our group is contributing back to the Drupal community through documentation, module development and more. We'll also be talking about the upcoming Drupalcamp Colorado and sharing projects, challenges, tips and stories.

Many thanks for our host, the East Library in Colorado Springs. Our regular meetings are on the first Thursday of the month. We'll start socializing at 6:30, and the actual chatter will begin at 7:00. Our host locks up at 9, so we'll have to be out by then.

The ideas above were just a starting point we discussed in May. As always, if the discussions here point us in a different directions, that's where we'll go!

DrupalCamp Colorado!

Rick Nashleanas's picture

I'm excited about DrupalCamp Colorado on June 27 and 28. The price is right for everyone who is remotely interested in Drupal. The event has quickly grown from a purely local meeting to a regional event.

I'd like to take some time in our meeting to coordinate and contribute...

  • Any car pools wanted? We could coordinate.
  • Mark has submitted several session proposals and he can talk about what these will cover.
  • Virginia is volunteering on several fronts. I'm sure she could use some help.
  • I might be able to coordinate a user round table with some of the Drupal users from April. I'd like to poll the group to improve the structure as much as possible given that so many of the other presentations are quite technical.
  • Other former SCUG presentations appropriate for DrupalCamp Colorado?
  • Have an idea of a session? Let the group put meat on the bones of your session idea.
  • There's been talk of having stickers for members of the Southern Colorado Users Group. That could be fun.

The volunteer wiki is open.

Monarch will be a gold sponsor. We have the capability to do oversized printing, so I volunteered to print banners and posters as needed.

The best part about DrupalCamp Colorado is the people. The best way to get plugged in is to get involved.

Sticker Idea

Everyone,

Here's the link to the sticker on Zazzle.com:
http://www.zazzle.com/scug_sticker-217697785589305352

We can get five sheets of this type of sticker (6 per sheet = 30 total stickers) for $23.50 or ten sheets (60 stickers) for $47.00. I suppose I could just purchase them myself and then different group members could hand them out. I was thinking that at the end of any sessions that any of us present, we could hand these out to anyone that wants one. Just a little promotion for the group. My hope is that maybe we'll find some new fellow Drupalers in the Southern Colorado area who will be able to join us in our regular meetups to share knowledge, network, etc.

As a Gold sponsor of DrupalCamp Colorado, we are also offering a scholarship to DrupalCamp for a deserving computer science college student in the Colorado Springs area: http://www.monarchdigital.com/blog/rick-nashleanas/scholarship-available Who know? This could lead to an internship and more with us.

Please pass this along to folks who might be interested.
