After the blazing success of our first meeting, accompanied with an appearance by Dries, it's time to organise the next Dundee meetup on Tuesday 18th June, in room 1G10 in the Dalhousie Building (http://www.dundee.ac.uk/general/campusguide/virtualtour/dalhousie/). The room is available from 6.30 and we'll kick off at 7. We'll aim to finish before 8.30pm.
This month, we'll have a main presentation (possibly on managing a large Drupal-powered enterprise), a roundup of recent news and a slot for lightning talks. We'll also open with a brief intro from everyone just so we get to know each other's background, where you're working etc... so come prepared for a 1 minute monologue! Before heading off to the pub, we'll also discuss the future of the meetings, time, day of week, location, structure to see if it's meeting everybody's needs.
- Welcome
- Introductions
- Planet Drupal
- Main Presentation by Andrew Millar (Life Sciences, Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing at Dundee Uni)

Notes from Last Night's Meeting
An excellent meeting last night, and here a few links relating to news, announcements and the main presentation:
Information on Aegir (hosting used at Dundee Life Sciences) can be found at http://www.aegirproject.org/
If you have any subjects you'd like a presentation on, or willing to present yourself, then get in touch. We'll schedule in a Drupal 8 critical issue code sprint for September.
We'll skip July, and our next meeting is scheduled to be on Tuesday 20 August. Follow us on Twitter @DrupalDundee. Have a nice summer!
Possible Presentations
Thanks to Andrew and Rob for presenting last night.
A few topics I'd be happy to present on are:
I've enquired about getting WiFi access for non-UoD staff and apparently it's pretty easy to get visitor day passes setup. So, that should allows us to start doing some hands on sessions.
