Mehigan, Bellone, and Associates would be honored to host a Drupal Meetup in our conference room. There is a free private parking lot, coffee and snacks will be provided.

SPACE IS LIMITED. Please post to let us know you'll be attending, we can comfortably host around 10 people without further notice.

Format:

  • Talk about Drupal, and help each other use Drupal more effectively!

  • We'll have a blank Drupal install ready to go, we can pass around the wireless keyboard and give overviews of how to install and configure various modules.

  • Present a topic:
    If you would like to present a topic, or would like help on a particular topic, either sign up to present or request the topic below in the comments.

Topic Bounties:
Development environments
Drupal API and glue code
Getting the most out of Devel
Drush
Favorite Contrib Modules

(Windows 7 via mounted Projector, I'm not sure we have a laptop port available, so bring any slides via USB or the cloud.)

Please make sure you sign up to this post to receive any updates between now and then. I will provide directions if anyone needs, but google maps seems to do a pretty good job. We're just a mile or two away from Union where we had previous meet ups.

I hope to see (and meet) many of you then,
Patrick

Well that's a shame. That

Well that's a shame. That weekend I am definitely going to be away.

Having trouble logging in to sign-up for meetups and such? Log in at Drupal.org first, then navigate to your groups page; groups.drupal.org's login tends not to work.
See https://www.drupal.org/node/2678132 for details.

Since no one else has replied

Since no one else has replied yet I wouldn't be opposed to moving it around. (maybe a day earlier?)

I am determined though to have this Drupal meet up rain or shine!

I'm in!

Just got back; sorry for the delay. This Friday (the 13th) sounds great! Of course, if turnout is still low, I wouldn't mind moving the date either. The following Fri-Sun I'll be traveling again, though beyond that my schedule is reasonably flexible.

Also interested in what other people would like to hear as far as topics, though in the absence of any other suggestions I could put something together on Drush (I'd eventually like to touch on dev environments if no one else does, but that'll take me a bit more time than I have to prepare).

I figured I'd let this post

I figured I'd let this post go to Wednesday to see if it needs to be cancelled due to lack of interest or not, but I'm totally cool with a low key/small group gathering. I thought offering snacks and coffee was sure to pack them in!

It looks like we're still

I hate to do this but I have to bail. I've had three days of unplanned travel this week and now have had to reschedule things for tonight. I am very sorry. I hope you have a great meeting and I look forward to future ones.

Maybe

I will try to make it if I can. I will confirm on Friday.

mbouchard: Sorry to hear that

mbouchard: Sorry to hear that but totally understandable, maybe next meet up!

topazzz: It'd be great if you can make it, we'll be here!

Extra directions/instructions:

Green street is on a one way street. The easiest way to get here is by turn in off state up "north ferry", continue going to the small traffic circle w/ the indian statue, make a right onto green street, we're towards the end of the block on the left (you'll see the parking lot).

To come in:

Come in through the front door near the sidewalk
go up the stairs
open the unmarked door
keep walking straight back past the stairs, past the kitchen. The Conference room is the last room and is on your left.

If anyone needs help, send me a message w/ your cell and I can call you back.

Thanks,
Patrick
