Start:
2007-01-18 13:00 EST Come on down to La Bande-Passante from 1pm - 5pm on Sunday, March 18 for an informal Drupal meetup. Sorry about the short notice, but feel free to come! :)
The address is 8655 St-Denis, very near the Cremazie metro.
Note that a small ($1) donation is required to use the facility. Thanks a lot for the space!

I'll be there!
And I think Robin will too, so that makes at least two of us! :)
I'll try to come later
I have something else starting at 1pm, but hopefully I'll be able to pop in for a brief visit later in the day. If I can't make it, then I'll try for the next one.
OT: I just looked at the Bande-Passante website and noticed they're suffering from the dreaded i18n menu-doubling bug (http://drupal.org/node/111047).
I'll be there...
... too. See you soon.
aww, too late for the parade now..
So I'll be there in 20 minutes.
Synopsis...
Was a pretty cool time! Very informal. :)
There were 6 people in attendance: myself, Omar, Robin, Matthieu, Fred, and Dave (incrn8) dropped in for awhile as well. :)
Matthieu, Robin, and Dave also brought up internationalization and spam solutions for Drupal, and we spent some time talking about that. Robin has the dreaded "double-menu" bug on the SQIL site (which is looking for volunteers to put on events, btw!).
I showed my first theme, Blue Zinfandel, a port of a WordPress theme. Robin helped me fix some bugs and I fixed another few bugs as well. I also helped Fred with some theming strategies for his web comic site.
Omar showed off his Wacom tablet and some cool artwork. Not Drupal related, but it was very cool! :D
The double-menu bug appears
The double-menu bug appears on the Bande-Passante website. I was simply planning to restart it from scratch, but honestly I haven't really had a look at it under the hood. The part about SQIL looking for volunteers is 100% true though :)
See you all next time!
Ha...
...and this is exactly why I shouldn't be typing up synopses and trying to hold a conversation at the same time. ;)
Thanks for the clarification, Robin! :)
Nice meeting you all...
It was great to finally put faces to some of the people I've seen on the Drupal.org forums. I'm just sorry I couldn't stay longer. I think that there is great potential in these informal gatherings - different insights into problems and all that jazz, plus a bit of fun on the side. Anyway, I'll do my best to be there for the next one.
