We're going to start publishing notes from our meetings!
Two days after the meeting, we'll post the collaborative Wiki page as a comment so people receive e-mail updates.
From <David D>: Here are my very incomplete notes from the meeting (I hope others can flesh them out; I tended to take notes on things I was not familiar with):
During the mods-you-love-and/or-hate round, Menu Trails was mentioned as one that was really great, except that it didn't quite work. A definite love/hate relationship. Masquerade was mentioned as a great mod, and is one I'm not familiar with, so I made a note of it. Vertical Tabs also got good reviews, along with Strongarm, a mod to keep users from mucking things up by changing settings they shouldn't. Admin Menu again got acclaims from nearly everyone. Eliza extolled the virtues of using Node Clone together with Prepopulate to facilitate helping users build out of lots of similar nodes.
There was a discussion of issues related to handling finances and arranging insurance for the upcoming DrupalCamp (http://groups.drupal.org/portland-oregon/drupalcamp).
The new book Drupal 6 Content Administration was cited as being a good book to provide to clients to help them learn how to administer the new site you've just built for them.
Michael gave a report on DrupalCon Paris, mentioning Dries' very engaging keynote and some of the entertaining bickering between the designer camps and the developer camps [please confirm?]. The bickering probably won't show up, but there should be extensive video coverage of all the sessions coming online very soon. He also mentioned that people could preregister now for DrupalCon San Francisco, and they can now specify their tshirt size when they register. The t-shirt reservation is instituted to avoid the Paris debacle that resulted in a great surplus of American-size XL+ shirts and running out of S, M, and L sizes!
Media Mover was mentioned as being a mod "like Imagecache for audio and video."
After the meeting proper, I had some burning questions of my own that I found some answers for, mainly from Michael and Greg (thanks, guys!). Hot Drupal was recommended for economy shared hosting for Drupal.
At the pub later a (new to me) command-line tool came up in conversation: drush. It's actually a Drupal mod, but clearly not the usual sort, and was endorsed by everyone there who was familiar with it.
