Please be aware the venue is likely to change. The last meetup we were busting at the seams, and the projector was missing. We are looking at other venues, and are open to suggestions. Check back here or follow us on twitter @drupalbrisbane before the going to the meetup.

If you are planning to attend please RSVP so we can use the numbers in our venue decision.

Format for Meet-up Tonight

Freshy88's picture

Hi all,

Sorry for the late notification of tonight's format - I've had quite a busy couple of weeks! We're going to try and mix it up tonight a little from the usual format - this will allow us to have a quick discussion on the outcome of venue/time votes & to have a few lightening talks rather than the 2 bigger talks.

Tonights Format:
- Introductions/Welcome/General Chit-chat
- Discussion on Venue and time for event - I'll report on results of votes/options that have been presented.
- Nick Schoonens - Using panelizer / fieldable panel panes etc as a replacement for blocks.
- Quick Talks/Lightning Talks:
- David Peterson: Drupal Commons
- Daniel Freshwater: Useful, but obscure modules (discussion - please bring your own obscure but useful modules!)
- Would be good to have 1 or 2 more here!
- Close (Discussion of next event)

Look forward to seeing you all tonight!

Toowong Library meeting room

Hi all

After doing further investigation into the Toowong Library meeting room I think we can rule it out for two reasons:

Firstly, it is only open until 8pm at night - and secondly they say it can only "seat" 30 people. Sounds like the Brisbane City library would be much more suitable.

Also, thanks to Nick and David for their great presentations at the April meet up.

Cheers

Brisbane Square library option

Hi All

Details on the BCC Brisbane Square library option for future meet ups:
- Tiered Theatrette
- Available from Tuesday 18th June and then avery third Tuesday of the month. The second Tuesdays of each month are not available.
- Room holds a maximum of 40 people (according to Council), but I think we could fit in a few more if necessary, looking at the photos.
- Time available is 6.45pm - 9.00pm.
- Lectern, data projector and laptop connectivity.
- There's no hire fee.
- No food or drink allowed in the room.

Considerations:
- No food or drink in the room means of course you'll need to eat before hand (or go hungry). Is this going to be an issue for those travelling from outer suburbs, etc?
- The library building actually closes at 6pm, so it's necessary for a security guard who patrols the ground floor to allow access through an outer door. This means people need to be sort of on time, otherwise you may be left standing outside for a while waiting for the guard to come past and let you in.
- A tentative booking has been made for every third Tuesday, starting from Tuesday 18th June and going through to December 2013. We'll need to make a decision soon, as Council is keen to hear back to firm the booking or cancel.

Good option

Thanks Paul. This is a good option. Eating/drinking can be short walk to pub afterwards, making it an earlier night if people need to get away.
