This meet-up will start with a presentation/tutorial on how to make a basic (but functional) Drupal theme starting from an existing web page or a template such as you might find on >a href="http://www.oswd.org/designs/favorites/">OSWD. After the tutorial, people working on a teme can get help from others in the group, and we will have informal discussion about general Drupal issues and trouble-shooting.
Address:
Bloomberg Hall
1 Einstein Drive
Princeton, NJ 08540
(we are marked on Google maps)
IAS is a short distance from Mercer Street. See here - http://www.ias.edu/about/directions - for directions and a campus map. For those who are familiar with Princeton University, we are basically on the other side of the golf course. It is a little over a mile from the train station, so walkable, but maybe we can get volunteers to pickup anyone coming by train. For those coming by car, park in Lot A. There should be plenty of parking in the evening.
