The Details:

Location: Irish Murphys - Upstairs Function room (on the left)
Date: Tuesday 10th of April 2012
Time: 7pm-9pm

Hi all,

The next meet-up is a week away and I figured probably about time I get this event up...

After a bunch of following-up with the venue I've got confirmation from the Irish Murphys function manager that we can have the function room from 7-9pm despite their usual closing of upstairs at 8pm. Was a little bit painful but means we have an awesome venue for the meet-ups going forward.

This format seems to have overwhelming support, but I would love to hear from people who couldn't make the last event if the location/time/date were prohibitive to you coming along.

I'd like to propose a discussion topic around the various CRMs, their use, and what the benefits/disadvantages of them are. I'll put a bit more structure around it before the meeting!

At this stage looking for people wanting to present something to the group - we have a projector so this will be much easier. Please comment with ideas for presenting/discussion items.

Look forward to seeing you all then.

Hi folks,

I've been playing around with Drupal for the past few years, with extra slow progress. I organise a very small church website (beenleighbaptist.org - don't laugh at my google calendar integration...) and would love to learn a little more about how to use Drupal (especially D7). The problem is, all I learn is from online sources - it's so slow that way. Hours spent looking for the the right methods and options, when I know that someone with a bit of know-how could show me in minutes.

Is there perhpas an opportunity at the Brisbane get-togethers to meet up with other like-minded drupal users who would be willing to share some knowledge? Would I be welcome?

absolutely

Just wondering if any enthusiasm for a July Brisbane meet-up?

Previous rhythm was for 2nd Tues of the month - which will be next week: Tuesday 10th July 2012.

From the above it appears that Daniel was able to reach some arrangement with management of Irish Murphy's for use of the upstairs meeting room - even after their 8pm upstairs shut-down and including use of the built-in data projector??? For newbies this is the room located over the main stairway. Did this arrangement work-out without complications at the April meeting? Till 9pm? With the projector? No cost? One would think the pub would encourage the patronage given the meal and bar intake it would generate!

Also the 7pm starting time was good in allowing free on-street CBD parking not too far away.

Daniel, how complicated has this negotiation been with the management of Irish Murpy's?

Keen to hear feedback - and esp as a Drupal novice - to see regular meet-ups happening again in Brisbane.

I would be happy to attend. I

I would be happy to attend. I just recently moved up from Tasmania. And I would definitely be happy to see more regular meetups.

I could do some informal talk(s) as well. Currently I am doing an update for the ABC to migrate a site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. In the process I am also streamlining the modules and doing a more Drupal 7'ized version (Entities, Fields, etc).

Cheers,

David

do we want to start up again?
