Agenda
- Speed Introductions
- AHAH?
- Organizing a Drupal Event
- Lightning Talks
You get 5 minutes and 20 slides or less to show the group anything Drupal related. Could be a project you just finished, or a new module you love, or a new module you hate. Sign up by leaving a comment. Lightning talks can be as short and easy as "I found this really cool module..." or "Let me tell you why I hate this module...".
If you want to add items to the agenda, please leave a comment.
Comments
Sadly I will be in Chicago
Sadly I will be in Chicago next week so I'll have to miss the meeting. Have fun!
Request
Can I do a request, does someone want to do a presentation on AHAH? Sad to see that hey-talker wont be there.
More specifics?
What aspect(s) of AHAH are you interested in seeing a presentation on, or what are you trying to use it for?
Drupal programmer - http://poplarware.com
Drupal author - http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920034612.do
Drupal contributor - https://www.drupal.org/u/jhodgdon
AHAH Usage
Use AHAH for boost; http://drupal.org/node/428942. Would like a textarea's contents to change using magical AHAH via clicking on radio buttons. Right now, it does it via the submit (page refresh) at the bottom.
Watcher module
Since I won't be here next week, I'll pass along this module I've been playing with called Watcher
http://drupal.org/project/watcher
It allows users to "watch" nodes for changes or new comments, and then get alerts based on them, or view them in a list. It is probably over-engineered right now, and needs to be re-implemented as a Flag implementation, but it is still pretty cool. I was thinking about it for Listology but I went with Comment Notify instead.
June meeting
I won't be able to attend this month. Have a great meeting, see you next month.
agenda item
Could I please have a brief spot on the agenda to discuss planning a Drupal event?
thanks,

Sounds good. Let's spend 20
Sounds good. Let's spend 20 minutes on that. It requires more time than a lightning talk.

Have a great meeting.
