a good move. where is it being held? i am a drupal learner and i am very much interested to take part in this drupal event. as agree with sandip please more specific about the drupal topics. i have to take some guidance on "lamp-server installation in ubuntu 13 and how to install drupal and phpmyadmin in the lamp.

XAMPP and phpmyadmin

Hello susan5in7,

I think XAMPP server is also available for Ubuntu. You can install drupal on XAMPP. XAMPP, WAMP have phymyadmin already built in. I think LAMP also should have.

Have you tried to install it? What the problem going on? You can search in Google, so you do not have to wait and delay it for the event.

However, just a different question I am asking, I know it is not suitable here - have you tried to install Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver to install on Ubuntu?

you can run any windows software in ubuntu

hi sandip
thanks for your comments. actually i have tremendously familiar with xampp, wamp uniserver etc. but installing lamp-server through ubuntu terminal is very interesting. installing phpmyadmin through terminal is little bit tougher. after lots of configuration you can call phpmyadmin through localhost (http://localhost/phpmyadmin). I have done all these several times but there are some advanced QS. that is why I am interested to attend this event that i can have some guidance accordingly.

in my experience you have to install 'wine' in ubuntu for windows softwares to run. It is a very fantastic experience. but ubuntu has alternatives with strong features compare to windows software.

gedit / eclipse for Dreamweaver, gimp for adobe photoshop, shutter for snipping etc.

See you in the event

I guess this event is being organized privately. Anyway thanks to organizers for not keeping the update. It happened before also. In recent future I will try to organize an event on the open field with tent and will inform all participants to bring food accordingly. It will reduce the cost. Is it a good idea?

Hi Guys, I'm seriously sorry

@mukesh.agarwal17, Thanks. Please let us know full address, contact number and timing also.

@susan5in7, fine - food is not an issue. It is ok to make the event at minimum cost. Try to make good discussion and published this event all over the internet -like - Facebook, LinkedIn, Google groups etc - so that maximum participants will be there.
Open field with a tent? Please remember all participants will use Laptop (dust may effect in laptop). Having internet connection will be better and for long discussion, laptop charging may require.

Thanks for response

@sandip

don't worry it is just my idea. when i will organize i will keep all these things in my mind. but open field is not a bad idea. point to be noted one funny thing; after my comment mukeshji immediately replies back. i guess he is being afraid of using his laptop in open field with dirt and dust. lol.
@mukesh please take my above comments easily. thanks.

@mukesh.agarwal17, How many participants are registered/coming?

@susan5in7, I think you can ask all your students (even who are not using Drupal) to come and participate live discussion with some senior developers? This will be very encouraging to students and to know the power of technology.
I am sure that who does not use Drupal (or use other CMS or no CMS), they does not know, how by drupal it is easy to make a large enterprise level website with in a day by using distribution.

Thanks to drupal event

Sandip Choudhury's picture

Thanks to drupal event meeting organizer. Today we enjoyed very much and learn new modules, new way of thinking for Drupal from each other. We have learn new technology. Not only Drupal, we have discussed about market, business, job and many more things.

We missed all of you who could not come and join us. But hope you all be there next time and will have fun, food and get free training with us.
