Drupal North Shore Meetup

Event type:

User group meeting

Drupal North Shore meetup time!

For those of you who don't want to figure out the day name and military time conversion to civilian sector time, that's Thursday next week from 7:00-9:00 pm.

While open to alternative location suggestions (not to mention date/time alternatives), Panera Bread on Route 1 in Saugus worked well last time and so I'll submit that as the default.

The only official agenda item at this point is a Design 4 Drupal debriefing as suggested by Susan MacPhee.

I hired a mariachi band to play The Drupal Song repeatedly during the event. Sorry, I made that up ironically for entertainment purposes. :-)

I don't know who will be there, but I'll be the guy who still can't afford a laptop (sigh, or even a netbook) yet wearing the nice Design 4 Drupal t-shirt and drinking my coffee while reading the "Front End Drupal: Designing, Theming, Scripting" book I just bought.

Please use the sign up feature here, so we know how many people to expect.

Hope to see you Drupalians there! Stay cool in the interim.

I'd like to attend, but at

I'd like to attend, but at that time I'm going to be fleeing from Buffalo, NY (unless my flight is really late). I was at the first day of D4D and I'd like to hear more about the sessions I missed on Sunday. I'll keep an eye on this event and if the date changes (e.g. Wed) I should be able to make it.

I'll plan to be there

I made it to both days of D4D, and am new to the area. (Just over the border in NH) I really would enjoy getting better acquainted with the Drupalists in this area. I'm a long time PHP guy, drupal module developer, and turned designer/theme guy in the past couple of years.

I'll look forward to it.
And when you say next Thursday, that is the 24th? Also, roughly what time do they usually kick off?

I'm expecting a bit of a schedule log jam by next week's end, but I'll love to come if I can make it. Thanks for organizing!

update: can't come to this meet up :(

Hi,

We still have tee shirts from the camp if any one wants me to bring them.

The volunteers and I were so busy running Drupal Design Camp that I missed most sessions. I'd love learn from you guys what theming method you think is best. I think the 960 is one to focus on. Could anyone explain in steps what we need to do to use it?

Also, we plan to run a survey about the camp to get feedback. What kinds of things should we ask the attendees?

Ok, I think I hogged up the topic suggestions beside Design 4 Drupal debriefing which I may be little use for unless you want to know about what it's like to hang at the registration desk or how much camps cost. (or how yummy the Cuban rum Morten gave me is)

Refresh Boston is happening same night

Hi all,

I'm afraid since my friend Josh Porter is speaking at Refresh Boston on Thurs I must attend. It's a duty of being one of the North Shore Web Geeks. I'll schedule a cafe meetup soon to make up for not bringing Drupal Design Camp tee shirts.

My friend Josh is speaking at Refresh Boston this same night. Thursday nights are always popular, eh?

Flexibility

Posted by Scott McCabe on June 22, 2009 at 11:58pm

If you guys want to reschedule this meetup, that's fine by me.

Monday and Wednesday nights are not good for me, but I could do Tues. 6/30 if that works better for everyone.

I'm also not opposed to having two North Shore meetups fairly close in the fourth dimension, one this Thurs. night, and one soon after when the Refresh Boston attendees, etc. can make it.

Tues. 6/30 works for me

Posted by Susan MacPhee on June 23, 2009 at 8:21pm

I'm able to attend Tues. 6/30. Two meetups so close could be a good thing and hopefully some of the other Refresh attendees can make the 2nd one too. I'm honored that you would schedule a second so close to go over events at D4D.
