Our second Drupal Atlanta meeting saw several new faces and a few missing from the previous meeting. We've added a couple of Drupal developers with extensive coding experience, so that bodes well for the future.
Our first presentation was Installing Drupal 5.1 and it seemed to generate a lot of interest, even from some of the more experienced developers.
We agreed to the following procedural matters:
- Until further notice, meetings will be held on the third Tuesday of each month at the 5Seasons. So, the next meeting will take place on April 17 at 7:30p.
- A steering committee of 3-4 will hash out some of the more mundane procedural matters and present them to the group at future meetings for a vote.
- Meetings will consist of a short procedural session, followed by two presentations: one for beginners, and one for intermediate/advanced Drupal users. In this way, we hope to meet the needs of all members.
- Next month's presentations include:
- Drupal 101: What do you do when faced with a blank canvas after installation? We'll cover frontpage design, taxonomy, Drupal specific terms, and optional modules.
- Organic Groups: We'll cover one of the most popular modules for Drupal--organic groups, and how it allows you to set up different areas within your Drupal website for specific groups. (much like the groups.drupal.org site)
We hope to see you there!
