Plans?

  • LIGHTNING ROUNDS
    New feature. Have a topic you can present in 5 minutes (with 5 more minutes for questions)? The basic idea is there are patterns for developing sites the "drupal" way ("what would drupal do? etc."). Tell us a quick 5 minute recipe for how to put the Drupal "bricks" together. Theming techniques or other things may also be appropriate. Propose it below. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation.

    • Drupal 7.21 Hotfix! ~ TBD
    • 5 modules in 5 minutes - Bleen
    • Cache Clearing Workflow - Elijah
    • Drupal for Campaigns and Government ~ Ben Kallos
  • 20 Min Talks
    Have a topic that needs more then 5 minutes, we have slots of 20 minute talks. The basic idea is there are broader subjects or more detailed discussions this is the type of talk you would want to signup for, please mention 20 min talk when posting your talk description and the audience you expect to speak to.

    • Why is my Site Slow? - Meba
    • Drupal Coding Patterns - Frank Lakatos
    • Event Ticketing using Drupal Commerce - Likewhoa
  • Break Out Sessions
    Breakout sessions take place in the "other room" and are more informal, covering any number of topics.

    • New 2 Drupal BOF table - New to Drupal? Bring your questions and problems for expert help. If you are new to Drupal and the talks don't apply to you some of us will take a group and talk with you about your issues.
    • Drupal Ladders breakout - Get started on the Drupal Ladder! Break out session to prepare for regular Ladders contrib event.
    • Drupalcamp NYC 12 planning discussion - informal, ad hoc discussion to plan next Drupalcamp

Signup Instructions!: 7 World Trade Center security checks your photo id against the list of attendees that we provide.

Meetup.com is pitching this for March 6th

I was surprised to get an email from Meetup.com announcing this meetup on March 6th (see http://www.meetup.com/drupalnyc/events/101013862/). I posted a note there about the date change.

I got an email and was like

I got an email and was like "Oh crap I missed it, I thought it was next week!".

I am happy it was wrong!

signup for 3/13 mtg at WTC

Anonymous's picture

There is no signup page, it opens to null. This has previously occurred. There has got to be a better way to do this??? Having to jump from meetup page to this site and then no easy access to sign up.

As well, the confirmation list should be sent out with the actual names on it, the last time I received a generic confirmation, with no info whether my name was on the list.

Thank you!
Sunita

Sorry you're having

forestmars's picture

Sorry you're having trouble,

32 people are signed up so far (last month we had 100 actual signups, ie, on this page so they are automatically added to the building security list.)

No one else is reporting difficulty, however if you provide a little more info we should be able to get you hooked up.

Feel free to contact me directly to make sure you're on the list.

signup confirm

Hi Forest, I PMed a few times via drupal & meetup over last week, but I never got a confirm on being added to the list at the door. The signup link returns a page not found. Let me know how I'd join.

I could do a talk about "My

I could do a talk about "My site is slow" - either lightning or longer, longer probably suits more if there still are slots

Sounds good for a 20.

commerce with drupal made easy

likewhoa's picture

I plan on doing a presentation on using the commerce module to setup a storefront and I have several ideas but wish to get some feedback as to what presentation people would like, so i will give you a choice.

  • Event Tickets (Ticketmaster style)
  • Donations Page
  • Apparel Store
  • Subscription Based with Paypal Integration (Newspaper,Premium Content, etc..)
  • File Access Store (sell file attachments)

I would walk through the steps to set any of these implementation up and provide a downloaded ready to go store for users to download and test drive after the session is over.

bending technology to fit businesses.

Im not entirely sure which

fakingfantastic's picture

Im not entirely sure which topic I will be yammering on about, but maybe I'll just get up there and hint on each topic from my "Drupal Coding Patterns" talk from DrupalCampNJ (http://www.drupalcampnj.org/content/drupal-coding-patterns). If anyone has any one's they'd prefer, im all ears. Excited to meet all you fine folks!

Drupal Coding Patterns

Elijah Lynn's picture

I would like to see your Drupal Coding Patterns talk. I was planning on attending at DrupalCampNJ but ended up in a BoF.

Hey Forest,

I can present a lightning talk on how to make one's workflow faster by clearing cache with a dedicated keyboard shortcut. This goes along with Bram* Molendor's 'detect inefficiencies' step in 7 Steps to Highly Effective Text Editing.

* Bram is the BDFL of VIM.

Why not use a neural network?

Keyboard shortcuts are so ... 20th century

Why not use a neural appliance like Emotiv?

(just kidding, sort of)

Dave Hall presentation?

decibel.places's picture

I thought Dave Hall plans to present via video, either live or pre-recorded? Something about DevOps without the Devs or Ops, that had technical issues last meetup?

Late addition.

Hi,
I just found out about this meetup and I'd really like to attend! Is it possible to be included?
Thanks,
Keith

signup working or no?

colartorg's picture

Been trying to signup for awhile and having no luck - anyone else able to sign up in the last few weeks via that signup link? sent PMs but didn't hear back - so maybe this got cancelled due to venue?
