User group meeting

It's that time already! We're back in Niagara this month so we can meet at the board room beneath the Upper Rapids offices at:

Community Resource Centre
5017 Victoria Ave
Niagara Falls, Ontario
L2E 4C9

It's the big brick building next to the Armoury. Feel free to park in the lot despite what the signs say.

Agenda:
- introductions, social time, etc
- discussions - I'm happy to talk about the Relation module and how it compares to things like EntityReference, or if that's too dry, something else entirely.
- we'll head down the road to Taps on Queen for some local craft beer

If you want to present something by all means let us know in the comments.

At the moment I'm clear to come out for that night. Not sure about Frijoles. Wouldn't want to impede your chance with the woman from last time, John! ;)

Adam, great presentation on relations/references/entity-reference.

Next time I could show how to use Field Collections to get around some of the limitations of entity-reference. There wasn't quite enough time for that last night.

Yea me too, we've been using it too and I was thinking of starting to really more on it. It will be cool to see your work around for some of those entity-reference limitations.

Hey Adam, thanks for the

Hey Adam, thanks for the presentation it was great! I think it's a great topic for the West New York mini camp, they will like it.

For next month lets see where we can do the next meetup. I have a place in Grimsby that we could use, but it closes at 8pm. It's a dealership and they have a nice boardroom we could use. I'll email the guy and see, it could be a place we could use here and there to meet half way for everyone.

Love these meetups. Adam,

Love these meetups. Adam, great topic, thanks!

I got the impression the New York meetup would be the April one. Is that right? No biggie, just making sure I put a date down before my SO fills it with something selfish like meeting with clients. ;)

Have we talked about caching yet? That's a topic I'd also be interested in.
