We will be hosted by the MIT Drupal Group in Cambridge in Building E51 - Tang Center in E51-145.
Parking and Transportation:
After 5pm, there is an unattended MIT lot called Hayward: http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=P5
Lightning Talks
We'll do lightening talks for both hours of the meeting. Each volunteer will get up to 10 minutes to ask questions of the group, present your recent Drupal work, or other lead Drupal discussion. This is an open floor, and no preparation is required.
Dinner
After the meetup, some of us will continue the conversation over dinner at MIT's Muddy Charles Pub. We will likely pre-order some dinner so it meets us there. We'll take a count about half way through the meeting.
Please plan on bringing $10 to participate in pre-ordering food and some drinks. If you would like to sponsor dinner, comment below and organizers will reach out. You will be recognized at the meeting as well as given the chance to do a featured talk.

Thanks to everyone who came by the meetup. I will struggle to actually talk next time instead of having the audience invent my talk for me. ;)
Thanks for the presentations everyone.
Any chance people could post the links they mentioned? Below are my rough meeting notes. Sorry if I get the names wrong and missed some stuff. Feel free to post more.
Can't wait for the next one.
