January SCUG Meetup

Many thanks to Mike Potter, who gave a great overview of Views and CCK for the group in the December meeting.

In January, we had 2 or 3 people volunteer to demonstrate their new Drupal sites and describe their development process. If you volunteered for one of these presentations, please tell us a little about the site you'll be featuring here. As always, questions and answers rule the day and we all end up learning something new.

In our December meeting, we also continued our discussion about how local college students are not introduced to CMS's (and specifically Drupal) in their programming and design classes. We casually brainstormed about a part-day, hands-on introduction to CMS's and Drupal event targeted to all computer science and graphic design majors from all the local colleges and universities. We have the talent and the venue to put on this event. We need to assure that we can reach and attract the right professors and students. Of course, this event would also be available to the public. If you have any contacts at Colorado Springs/Pueblo are colleges and universities or have any insights into pursuing this, please share your thoughts here.

Many thanks for our host, the East Library in Colorado Springs. We are normally in the large conference room; take a hard left when you enter the building. Our regular meetings are on the first Thursday of the month. We'll start socializing at 6:30, and the actual event will begin at 7:00. Our host locks up at 9, so we'll have to be out by then.
