Join us for our next Drupal User Group meeting, coming up next week!
Tuesday, January 28
Noon - 1:00pm
101 Walter Library
This month, our presenter will be John Starr from UMN OIT. John will have the latest on the enterprise Drupal initiative here at the University. In particular, he will focus on the structure used to dovetail central management of security updates and core configuration with site-level flexibility and custom code.
He will also have more general updates about the progress of the project, and we expect there to be some time for questions as well.
We currently have no plans to broadcast the presentation, but if anyone has a webcam and would like to volunteer, I can help iron out the details on how to broadcast via Google Groups and YouTube--Just let me know.

UPDATE: Presentation change and question
Due to scheduling complications related to the ongoing cold snap, our planned presenter for today is unable to make it. We'll move John's update on the enterprise Drupal initiative to our February meeting.
In lieu of that, an appeal and a question: Does anyone have an impromptu topic, demo, or presentation that we could explore today? I'm torn between the options of having a meeting and winging it on one hand, or cancelling on the other. Please share your thoughts here, and I'll make a call one way or the other by 11:00 (meeting would normally start at noon).
New topic for meeting, same place and time
Dale Trexel has stepped up with an idea for today's discussion:
"I have been meaning to start a discussion about information management tools that will not be part of the standard U Drupal platform. We at the Law School have a variety of things we hope to migrate to something more Drupalish. I'm curious if there are others who would share interests and want to collaborate. I was hoping to just bring up the topic today, but perhaps we could have a larger discussion?
"Some things we are looking at are departmental directories, faculty citation tracking, study roo reservation management and augmented course guides (info not stored by the U). Also of interest is Intranet style content access restrictions."
See you at noon!
