Event type: 
User group meeting

The main topic for this meet-up will be Views. Using, themeing, etc. Sorry for the delay. I hope people can still fit this in their calendars.

Please sign up so we have a rough estimate of how many people will attend. Also, if you have particular questions/problems regarding Views, please post them. That way we'll have a better idea of what everyone needs help with.

Again, held at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Address:
Bloomberg Hall
1 Einstein Drive
Princeton, NJ 08540
(we are marked on Google maps)

IAS is a short distance from Mercer Street. See here - http://www.ias.edu/about/directions - for directions and a campus map. For those who are familiar with Princeton University, we are basically on the other side of the golf course. It is a little over a mile from the train station, so walkable. For those coming by car, park in Lot A. There should be plenty of parking in the evening.

I have been meaning to come to a Meetup in NY but I am in Flemington and just have not made the drive yet. This is much closer. Looking forward to it! I may be bringing a buddy.

Cheers,

My 1st Meetup too! I really appreciated the information presented and I learned quite a bit! It was a bummer I had to leave at 9 and I wish I could have stayed for the rest.

I am also looking forward to the next Meetup!

Was nice meeting you everyone! Thanks Dave for organizing this!

Peter, thanks or the links.

Let's pick a date - like the 6th, 8th, or 13th of Oct?

I've contacted the Princeton Unix Group to see if they want to co-sponsor a meetup sometime soon so we can get a room on the Princeton Campus.

previous topic suggestions are at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/20931

One option might be a "site recipe/showcase" kind of session - where someone with a Drupal site goes over what modules are being used and how they interact to provide the final functionality

Another option people seems to have wanted is a session covering the use of revision control software like CVS and subversion - we might include with that an intro to a cross-platform IDE like Netbeans that includes some RCS integration.

If you guys end up at a tie for a date, a non-tuesday would be better for me (the 8th, a Thursday) since I have teleconferences every Tuesday at 9pm and I would really love to stay for the whole meetup the next time I attend.

As far as topics go, I am game for anything. I am at the beginning stages of SVN and love it so far but I sure could use some more education in that area! I also dig the site recipe theme!

SVN or Recipes

I'd love to know more about SVN. Site recipes would be excellent too.

Tuesdays are bad for me, so +1 to the 13th.

October 13th is a Tuesday.
