We will be hosted by the MIT Drupal Group in Cambridge in Building E51 - Tang Center in E51-145.
Parking and Transportation:
After 5pm, there is an unattended MIT lot called Hayward: http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=P5
Lightning Talks
We'll do lightening talks for both hours of the meeting. Each volunteer will get up to 10 minutes to ask questions of the group, present your recent Drupal work, or other lead Drupal discussion. This is an open floor, and no preparation is required.
Dinner
After the meetup, some of us will continue the conversation over dinner at MIT's Muddy Charles Pub. We will likely pre-order some dinner so it meets us there. We'll take a count about half way through the meeting.
Please plan on bringing $10 to participate in pre-ordering food and some drinks. If you would like to sponsor dinner, comment below and organizers will reach out. You will be recognized at the meeting as well as given the chance to do a featured talk.
Save the Date!
The next 2013 meetup will be held on: October 1; November 5; December 3
Comments
Meetup is tonight!
Reminder that our meetup is tonight at 6:30pm. Jeannie Finks (aka finkatronic) will be leading our meetings this school year. Thanks to Peter for his leadership over the past year.
vagrant, aegir, etc.
I have been meaning to look into Vagrant ever since Drupalcon Portland, so I was interested in the Vagrant/Aegir lightning talk at the end of today's meetup. I plan to try out the Vagrant project on d.o. It looks as though XDEBUG is one of the bonuses.

Getting started with Vagrant
I wish I had seen this before I started setting up my VM with Vagrant: a simple GUI for creating config files. https://puPHPet.com/ . Blog post: http://www.thisprogrammingthing.com/2013/getting-started-with-vagrant-us... .
Non-profit seeking volunteers
Thanks for all the help last night - at the meeting and afterwards at the pub. Great group, very helpful.
For those who weren't able to attend - I spoke about the non-profit I have formed to help other non-profits with technology using open source applications.
I am reaching out to potential volunteers who would like to use their Drupal skills to help non-profits. You can learn more and contact me via nubay.org.
Thanks, again.
Drupal.org QA
It was great fun to sit in on your meetup! A couple of people asked about the Drupal.org Drupal 7 upgrade and how to get involved with QA:
The announcement and orientation are available at https://association.drupal.org/node/18438
Information about the staging site is available in the upgrade's QA issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/d7qa
Thanks to everyone for providing great feedback.
