Hi Peter,
Would be up for hosting at WCVE in September - I'm a bit too busy at the moment to put anything together, but can definitely provide a space if there is a presenter and interest...

Hope all is well!

We've been doing them towards the middle of the month on a Wednesday, but attendance has ranged from 1 (as you know!) to maybe 20 or so folks...

If anyone else is interested in getting together in September, maybe you could post some days/times that would be best...

Restarting an ongoing Drupal users group in Richmond would be great. Count me in. Most any evening after 5:30pm is fine for me.

Next Meeting?

Jesse,
Would you be interested in hosting at WCVE on the third Wednesday of this month -- Oct 24? What time worked out best for previous events?

Hi Peter, Sorry for the delay

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delay in responding. It does look like a room is open on 10/24.
We've done the previous ones at 6pm...

Let me know if it's a go and I'll reserve a room.

Thanks...

Awesome!

Posted by peter feddo on October 8, 2012 at 3:20pm

Let's plan on Wednesday the 24th at 6 PM then. Any ideas on what might be a good topic to cover?

Not sure, are you up for

Posted by jtolj on October 11, 2012 at 6:02pm

Not sure, are you up for putting something together? I don't think I'll have time.

Generally we've had a formal presentation and then opened the floor for anything anyone wants to show off or ask questions about.

Anyone else want to chime in on topics you might be interested in?

I'll go ahead and post it as an event for 10/24.

Sounds good!

Yep, we should have guest

Posted by jtolj on October 11, 2012 at 6:39pm

Yep, we should have guest wifi working again.

I am a new user to Drupal, will this be a meeting I can benefit from.

Meeting Topic Idea

Posted by peter feddo on October 13, 2012 at 6:54pm

Jesse,
I think it would be cool to give a presentation on various Drupal distributions --downloading, installing and utilizing them -- and showoff some of the benefits of the popular ones. We can cover Acquia, OpenPublish, CommerceKickstart and briefly cover a few of the other ones.
Thoughts?
