Source level debugging

If you like, I could do a quick talk on source level debugging in Drupal, probably using http://drupal.org/project/quickstart or an equivalent virtualbox image I'd be happy to share to others.

Its a useful too when troubleshooting, and I could knock up a few example bugs in no time ;-)

Topics updated

Hi Perroud,

I've spent a few years in the wilderness doing analog things. So when I wanted to see some good tech talks about FLOSS things, the scene was pretty quite. So stirring things up a little =) Simon has been the main instigator from the Drupal scene in Adelaide, AFAICT. There have been many meetings before, but often organising a good venue is tricky. Thats what I am adding to the mix...

We have seen a good variety of talks in the last two meetings and many more to come, I hope ;)

cheers,

Adhoc

I have started work on getting video organised. Hopefully I can get one for the next meeting. So if we have video, where shall we host it?

Are there plans to have

Are there plans to have another one of these meetups this moth?

You guys should start up a meetup.com group for this, to help get the word out.

Next meeting

adhoc's picture

Yes there is one planned. The announcement will come shortly.
It is unlikely that we will use meetup.com, as this forum seems ideal.
We also send the word out to the local tech user group lists.
