Getting back on track with presentations for January.
Agenda for January meetup:
-Q&A, Introductions
-Presentation: Building a kickass Drupal dev environment. Jitesh Doshi will go over building a local environment for beginners and more advanced high performance environments:
Will cover:
- Web server: Nginx instead of Apache
- Database server: MariaDB instead of MySQL
- Installing WPN-XM package that includes most of the above.
- IDE - either Eclipse or NetBeans
- Database client - HeidiSQL instead of MySQL-Admin
- Command shell - Git Bash instead of Putty, because you need to SSH, but you also need to work locally.
- Settings up XDebug for interactive debugging
- Using SSH tunnel for remote database session as well as PHP debugging session
- Setting up VMs with VirtualBox and TurnkeyLinux
- ... and more ...
- February topics (Sign up and give ideas at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/243873)

Comments
Just a reminder to everyone
Just a reminder to everyone that this meeting is tonight. Hope to see you there. Also don't forget this is about a killer dev environment so if you have friends that don't use Drupal but other CMS systems or PhP this would be a great meeting to attend.

Hoping to connect to the Google Hangout.
JCL
Google Hangout
As JCL324 posted, I too had planned to connect via Google Hangout. However, I "suspect" that this broadcast was never implemented, since I never saw any URL posted either under the comments or in the #drupal IRC channel. If so, that's too bad, since I was looking forward to the Jitesh Doshi presentation.
Of course, maybe I just didn't understand how to make the Google Hangout connection.
Hey JCL and dme, We had some
Hey JCL and dme, We had some changes in computers and didn't get the Hangout setup in time. I apologize. We'll be sure to be back on track with hangouts next month.
