Hello all Atlanta Drupal User's Group members.
Here are the minutes from our first meeting:
1) Meetings will be held on a monthly basis, the third Tuesday of every month at 5 Seasons North on Old Milton. The next meeting will be on March the 20th. The business meeting will start at 7:30p with "social hour" starting at 7p.
2) The general consensus is that meetings would incorporate a brief business agenda at 7:30 to be followed by a presentation or discussion. An "agenda leader" will be appointed for each meeting, or perhaps a series of meetings.
The agenda leader's prime responsibility to the keep the agenda moving along in an orderly fashion. The person making a presentation will be in charge of that part of the meeting. (perhaps also that meeting's agenda leader?)
3) The presentations at the early meetings will concentrate on orientation and installation of Drupal. As the group's overall skill level increases, later meetings will drill down into the more specialized topics of content, theming, php, and module development.
4) There was a general consensus that as the group matures, we may try to arrange break out groups or a regional Drupalcon where we can accommodate Drupal users throughout the Southeast.
5) Bob Pepalis has agreed to provide name tags for the members. (see attached member list) He also indicated that he may have a possible venue for future meetings if the group outgrows the 5 Seasons Meeting room.
Many thanks to Mal, Bob, and all the other members who helped to make this charter meeting a fantastic success! Happy Drupaling!
