User group meeting
We'll be meeting at Pinkpeas again for the July monthly DUGLV meeting.
The tentative time frame is from 12 PM to 3 PM, but we can stay later, if there are people there working on things.
Let's do a Q&A/Stump the Chump type of session this time. Rather than us telling you what you will hear about, come tell us what you want to know, and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
We'll do a chip in for pizza somewhere between 12 and 1. We will have drinking water and coffee available. We may or may not have soda and/or beer available, however anyone is welcome to bring either, just let us know.

Presentation on keyword ranking tool?
Hello, all. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Speaking only for myself, the new time slot works much better.
Even though the focus of the meeting will be on Q&A, I'd like to present a quick talk on a free tool that I've been using for monitoring keyword rankings on the Drupal sites I manage for myself and for my clients. Even though the tool is not Drupal-specific, I think this would be of value to anyone who would like to track the search engine performance of their sites over time, and those of their clients. Jason, I assume that you may have some Drupal news to start off the meeting with, but how about I follow that with the slide show, before we get into the Q&A?

Time change
After being told that basically nothing ever happens at Pinkpeas on Saturdays, I found out yesterday that two (!) other events have been scheduled for the 20th. One is not on the schedule, and the other one was added last week, after I decided to have our meeting on that day.
So, in order to cause the least amount of disruption possible, I'm going to move the meeting time 2 hours and possibly shorten the meeting by an hour.
The second event won't really be happening in Pinkpeas, but near and around it, so we could potentially stay later, if we want to, with the idea that there will probably be people passing through.
So, the new time frame will be from 12 PM until 3 PM, with the idea that we might linger a bit, depending on how things work out.
Will that still work for you Michael?
Absolutely. 12pm it is.
Absolutely. 12pm it is. Looking forward to it.
Given the time change, should we plan on getting our own lunches beforehand, or are we still on for a chip-in for pizza?
Given the situation
I think I'll just plan on Joseph or I picking them up at or before 12, so they are just there and ready. Anyone who wants to can chip in $3 or $4 afterward, to help cover the costs.
To accommodate as many preferences as possible (w/o going overboard), I'll plan on getting at least one each of cheese, pepperoni, veggie, and supreme.
Perfect. See you then!
Perfect. See you then!
Excellent time slot
Thanks to Jason and Joseph for organizing the event, and to everyone for attending. The quadrupling of the turnout was gratifying and, in my mind, suggests that weekend meetings are much easier for people than weekday evenings.
