Since polling everybody's opinion recently, there appears to be at least 10-12 persons who are interested to meet in the Metro Detroit area. Since the Ann Arbor Drupal Group meets on the last Monday of each month, a meeting on Tuesdays during the second week of the month sounds like a terrific complement if there are folks who wish to attend both.
Please RSVP for the first gathering in the Troy area or vicinity on Tuesday July 14, 2009. If 1-2 members are willing to assist, that would be greatly appreciated.

Possible locations.
Kieran,
Could you please confirm the availability of a room at Oakland Univ. with projector and Internet on a typical Tuesday evening?
From the other thread, markalosey has offered a facility in Farmington Hills.
If the attendance is less than 10, I have a place lined up near the corner of Big Beaver and Coolidge, just west of the Somerset Mall.

I doubt it would be a problem. Rooms are tight during the regular semester, but summer is easy.
Give me a date and the number attending, and I'll make a reservation. I'm thinking a room for 20 or so would be OK?

Parking and building?
Hi Kieran,
How is the parking situation? Please provide details of any parking restrictions, fees and so on. Which building will the rooms be in?
Let's plan on launching our Metro Detroit Drupal Group meeting on Tuesday July 14, 2009 evening around 6pm or 6:30pm.
There are no parking
There are no parking restrictions. All parking is free. If we start at 6pm, parking will be plentiful, since classes start at 6:30.
I'll try to get a room in Elliott. Good tech, and my office is there :-) . Will let you know.

Got a room, will try tomorrow to get a better one (the one I got only holds about 15 people and is harder to find than it might be). But we can go ahead in any case.
Did you have an agenda in mind? I could talk about a simple module I'm developing, if needed.

Hope you guys have a great meeting. Looking forward to coming out to the next one.

Metro Detroit Monthly Drupal Group at Oakland Univ. on 7/14/09
Thanks, Kieran, for helping get this Metro Detroit Drupal Group a place to meet.
I will begin promoting it on various forums, MeetUp groups, and so on.
Looking forward to see Drupal users from the Detroit area, as well as those from Ann Arbor, Flint, Lansing, Port Huron and all of Southeast Michigan or Northwest Ohio.
This first meeting will be rather casual, to get to know each other's projects, as well as to hear a little bit about Kieran's module.
I am in.
Thanks, Kieran, for getting a meeting together for the metro area.
I will attend. By this meeting I wouldn't have time to get anything together. But in the future I can do something on Ubercart or CLI drupal bootstrapping which solves a lot of my problems.
