I am a recent convert to Drupal. What is the purpose of the Lehigh Valley group? Are there meetings or just discussions here?

Hello!

There has been a lull in meetings recently, but I believe Nate wants to get things going again ASAP. I am working on finding a place for anyone interested to meet up. If possible, I'm going to reserve a room as often as we can at Pizza D'Oro in Easton. I'll keep Nate and everyone else posted.

sounds good

Sounds good. eh, so what do you guys do at the meet ups besides poke fun at other CMS's? yeah, just kidding.

best practices? lessons learned?

Meet at Lehigh?

This is perfect timing for me. I've been meaning to organize a meetup since that one we had at Rodale ages ago.

I have access to some good rooms for technical meetings at Lehigh University.

@tbrenner, we've been having alternating social and technical meetings. We've had a couple of social meetings at Bethlehem Brew Works and technical meetings at Lafayette and Rodale. We still talk about Drupal at our social meetings, but in a more leisurely manner. At the last technical meeting I gave ~1 hour demonstration of Features. We've also looked at Panels and I don't remember what else.

I'd love to give a demonstration of Drupal+OpenLayers at our next meetup, but we usually have a thread to discuss what we want to talk about.

Hello everyone! Glad to see

Hello everyone! Glad to see this is picking up again. 2012 was a rather rough year for me (especially the end) but it's over!

In 2013 I can get back to taking a much more active role, however I'd love to have some help as well. Colin - you've always been very supportive and it's awesome to see you organizing the next meetup already, thanks a ton! Joe, you're next in line ;)

I'm thinking momentum is our biggest hurdle right now, so perhaps in addition to a presentation this next meet up we should really focus on setting a specific schedule for a few months so that we can have something to put on our calendars immediately. I was supposed to do something similar a few months ago until life gave me a sucker-punch.

I've already voted on the LU poll - everyone else go vote now! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

poll.

i am happy to see that there is a somewhat active community local to me. since starting to use drupal on my last few sites, i have started to get my format of how i use and implement. i am sure i am developing bad practices at the same time and wouldn't mind the collective knowledge of the community.

If you can attend next week
