Sydney September Meetup

As usual, the 3rd thursday of the month, we'll be having our regular meetup on Thursday, September 17th.

The last monthly meetup sounds like it was another success. A big thanks to James for taking my place at last month's meetup.

This month we'll be at the ABC Centre again and we'll be focusing on alot of the information & resources that was delivered at DrupalCon Paris. We'll also be running the support sessions again, since that seems to be a popular segment so bring your laptop!

Sign Up!
When: Thursday, September 17th
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:30pm for firm 7pm start!!)
Venue: ABC Centre 700 Harris Street, Ultimo ( Map | Directions )

Venue Details

The ABC Centre has some security issues, so it is important that people arrive early and sign in at the security desk so that we can take everyone into the building at once. Everyone just waits and chats in the lobby, so just look around for us if you're new. If you have problems you can call either of us. Many thanks go to the ABC for providing this venue.

Parking is possible at parking meters around thomas street and mary-anne street. But they take a 2 hour max i think. There are carparks behind the abc $15 (enter from thomas street, but on the chinatown side). Also, you can get all-evening parking at the Citigate (I think that's the name) parking station for $7 (starting after 5pm, I think, and stays open until well after midight). It's at the end of the Thomas street dead end (Eastern/Chinatown side), which is very close to the ABC's back entrance.

Agenda:

• Greetings and Welcome new people + Announcements
• DrupalCon, News, Etc by: Ryan Cross
  I will give a presentation about all the fun and excitement that has been happening at DrupalCon Paris.
• Presentation: Drush by: Jeremy Epstein
  This presentation will cover automating and improving your development environment with Drush.
• Session: Live Support
  We will be delivering a live support session for all levels of Drupal experience. Remember when you first got started? - Everyone has been there and can help someone else climb the Drupal learning curve, wherever your current experience provides. Please come prepared with questions or answers, laptops and your Drupal experience! Unfortunately, we can't guarantee internet access.
• Continued at the pub with + Drinks/food

Remember to sign up, this will also help us plan numbers/audience.
