Drupal Commerce training takeaways
I'm currently in Ann Arbor attending a Commerce Guys training. I could probably give a quick overview of what's being presented here -- particularly differences between it and Ubercart.
That would be awesome!
We've been doing a lot with commerce around here lately too. I think this would be an informative and interesting topic. +1
And this is for CADUG because?
Ah, Ann Arbor, my home for 9 years. Almost never left.
I'm completely neutral on the CADUG and CDMUG meeting topics. But I do have to wonder why a topic like this would be skewed to the CADUG group. Commerce is always a hot topic and ongoing insights into what's up with what Commerce Guys are producing is of general interest to a broad Drupal community.
That said, I'll just slip back into the shadows and not speculate or voice my perspective. But it is unfortunate when good content gets silo'd either for technical reasons or organizational reasons. Clearly, I'm missing the point.
This is for CADUG because CADUG is for everyone.
This is definitely justifiable for CADUG to talk about. In all likelyhood we might get into the inner workings of Commerce in our discussion. It will not be a 45 min presentation by Anna about how to point and click on a Drupal site to set up Commerce. I imagine a discussion about Commerce @CADUG would lead to people talking about entityreference, dealing with large-scale contrib projects, how to get Ryan's attention in the issue queue (write patches), and many other related topics.
Just because the idea of Commerce is high level, it does not dictates that the group would avoid ramping up into a discussion that would not be easy for everyone to follow.
Furthermore, no one said this is skewed for CADUG. eCommerce can and probably already has been talked about at CDMUG before . No one is stopping CDMUG from having an Commerce night just because Anna talked about Commerce for 15 minutes at a CADUG.
This is more content. Not silo'd content. Unsure why you'd take this perspective outside of a general confusion of what CADUG's purposes are / stirring the pot? We're all here to help.
In an ideal world, someone come to CADUG and talk with us about Commerce and then turn that into a presentation on the site building process of Commerce for a future CDMUG. The groups are complimentary.
Please understand that we're all here together to add more content to the Chicago community, not to annex specific topics and make other meetups seem irrelevant. That is NOT why we're here. If one chooses to only attend one or the other, they are missing out.
you took the words out of my
you took the words out of my mouth, or rather, out of my comment box. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm cool with this
I'm completely cool with the responses.
I just asked a question and expressed concern that good content for a highly targeted community was being segmented into multiple organizations. I reserve the right to speak up. And I do. My only agenda is the advancement of the Drupal platform. I don't have time or reason for game playing or pot stirring. You've given me answers that sound reasonable. Short format, more intimate setting with opportunity to dig deeper, maybe some preference for a different group for unstated reasons. And, after all, all events are open to all. Sounds good to me. Go for it and continued good luck.
Based around lightening talks
Hi Sonny,
The current format for CADUG is that it's based around lightening talks and encouraging attendees to share and discuss multiple ideas quickly. Brant and Maks have asked attendees to post potential topics so that people can discuss or adapt ahead of time, which is what I've done here.
For my own personal reasons, I'm not comfortable attending CDMUG, never mind presenting. Maybe one of the other attendees from Chicago would be happy to give a longer presentation in that format.

Just wanted to note that I
Just wanted to note that I think this was our best CADUG yet - we covered a ton of topics and the format for the night was open-ended discussion. There were no presentations at this CADUG, just 2 solid hours of awesome dev-talk amongst a group of about 15 people. We're also excited to announce that CADUG will be at the Palantir.net offices next month on October 30th. Let's keep the momentum going!
