Brisbane Drupal Meetup March 2013

Hey Tim,

Are you looking for volunteers to present at this meetup or will this one be focused on a recap of Drupalcon?

Hey - all the details are on meetup - i just added the event here for those not on meetup
http://www.meetup.com/Drupal-Brisbane/events/104187862/

The DrupalCon in Sydney was excellant and we have decided not to run a meeting in February.

Our March meetup will most likely be a discussion about things we learnt and what's coming in D8.

If there are already presentations organised, or you would like to present please add it to the comments.

The presentations from the Sydney DrupalCon are available http://sydney2013.drupal.org/program/schedule

Hey all,

That sounds great David...a lot of things in D8 moving towards being more friendly to non-tech users and as such think it's a great topic to support the D8 discussion that will be had.

I'll put up a formal agenda in the coming days, however the plan was to cover the usual intros, thanks, general chit chat then have an open discussion on:

• Recap of Drupalcon Sydney
• D8 Insights + thoughts

Then 2 more formal discussions which are yet to be locked-in but I've heard of a number of suggestions!

Finding
    Workbench - http://drupal.org/project/workbench
    Better admin UI - http://drupal.org/project/enterprise_base


Editing
    Better node editing: Panopoly Distribution - http://drupal.org/project/panopoly
    Inline content editor: Spark - http://drupal.org/project/spark
    Touch based menu: Navbar - http://drupal.org/project/navbar

Placement
    Automatic placement of content: Context - http://drupal.org/project/context
    Drag-n-drop blocks: Panels - http://drupal.org/project/panels, http://drupal.org/project/panelizer, http://drupal.org/project/panopoly
    Entity blocks: Bean - http://drupal.org/project/bean

Thanks everyone for coming to the event! At this stage I wanted to open the floor to a couple of discussions as per the meet-up last week.

1.) Day/Time - We've been the 2nd Tuesday of every month for a while but want to check which day works best for people. Please vote on the poll here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/289098

For the upcoming event (9th of April) we'll stick to the current Tuesday schedule, but going forwards may change this based on demand.

2.) Venue - Whilst the pub is central and food/drinks are great, we have hit a bit of a size cap. The suggested venue will need to hold 40+ comfortably and have access to a projector and either WIFI or good 4g/3g in the area and needs to be relatively central to Brisbane. Other desirable items include: close food/drinks and public transport.

Please post any venue suggestions over the next week and from there we'll work on determining where we hold the meetup going forwards.
