User group meeting

Join the Gainesville Drupal Users Group Thursday, September 13th at 7pm at the Alachua Downtown Library (Click for Map.)

For the September meetup, we'll have two (yes, two!) main presentations:

1. LESS CSS Preprocessor, which extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions.

2. An overview of simplifying your content creator's Drupal interface. This will include using inline editing in the Views module, an update on the Spark distribution, and an overview of the Workbench module.

In addition, we'll have

  • A [free] 20 minute Drupal beginner session/training for any newbies that attend
  • A rundown of the top X Drupal modules - this is always one of our favorites
  • Roundtable discussion - What have you done or learned in the last month that's worth showing off?
  • A happy-hour / social event afterwards - probably at Harry's or The Top (both are within walking distance)! This'll give us a chance to nerd-talk over a beer or three :)

Details:

When: Thurs September 13th, 2012 7pm-9pm EDT

Where: the Alachua County Downtown Libary (401 East University Ave) Click for Map.

Room: We'll be in the Foundation Room, which is up the stairs and to the left (follow the wall until you see the sign. Ask for help if needed).

Afterwards: We'll be going out for food/beer/socializing at a restaurant/bar within walking distance.

What to bring: Bring your laptop if you have one, if not, don't worry!

Hi all, I enjoyed meeting everyone who was there this past meeting. Both upcoming talks sound great and as of now I'm pretty sure I should be able to make it. If anyone has an interest in leaning module development then I could put a talk together for one of the meet-ups. Just let me know.

Great to meet you too, Dave!

I'd honestly love a talk on Drupal module development. That's one area where I could definitely stand to gain some expertise :)

Do you have a specific month you want to do it? We could do it in Sept (and defer one of the other talks) or a later month.

Just let me know

Just let me know what month you'd like me to plan for, Mike.. I could put a talk together for this month, or aim for next month instead. I have a baby due soon though, so this month might be more predictable.

If this month works for you,

If this month works for you, lets do it!

We can always push back my presentation (Workbench, Admin UI stuff, etc) to the next month if needed.

I'm looking forward to see this.

I'll Be there
