Start: 
2014-07-01 18:30 - 20:30 America/New_York
Event type: 
User group meeting

Let's do something unusual for July and take advantage of the summer. On Tuesday July 1st we will be meeting in the roof garden on top of the parking garage at 5 Cambridge Center (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=5+Cambridge+Center&hl=en&ll=42.363122,-71...). When you reach 5 Cambridge Center on Main St., look for the roof garden sign. Head to the top of the parking garage and look for a group of picnic tables across from the elevators/stairs.

Parking and Transportation:

Near the meetup location there is an unattended MIT lot (after 5pm) called Hayward: http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=P5

Lightning Talks

We'll do informal lightening talks for both hours of the meeting (no projector - hand waving only). Each volunteer will get up to 10 minutes to ask questions of the group, present your recent Drupal work, or other lead Drupal discussion. This is an open floor, and no preparation is required.

Dinner

After the meetup, some of us will continue the conversation over dinner at MIT's Muddy Charles Pub. We will likely pre-order some dinner so it meets us there. We'll take a count about half way through the meeting.

Please plan on bringing $10 to participate in pre-ordering food and some drinks. If you would like to sponsor dinner, comment below and organizers will reach out. You will be recognized at the meeting as well as given the chance to do a featured talk.

Please sign-up with the button below so we can get an idea of how many people plan to come.

Rooftop directions

The Rooftop is easier than ever to find! Enter the glass doors between Clover and MIT Coop and go straight ahead to the stairs / elevator. Come up to the rooftop (R) level. See you there at 6:30pm!

Thanks all!

Hi Leslie,

I already filled out the form but just wanted to send you a quick nudge to tell you that I would love to volunteer.

I would love to do more design but I really would be learning. So, if you put me on that, you'd need some experts to teach me.

Also, I'm great at getting things like events happen. So, if you would like to put me on the beginning of the planning, I could and would love to do that too.

I am BROKE now and cannot spend a penny out of pocket to do anything...

Anyhow, below please find tasks that ****I'm great at and tasks that >>>>I'd like to do to learn. I prefer to learn. You pick where to put me.

*****Help with info/registration desk (2 hour shifts); answer questions, sign attendees in

Design signs, posters and badges for Camp; we can provide logo and brand guidelines
******Wrangling volunteers for day-of tasks
******Organize evening reception, including help finding a location near the Stata Center
******Camp set-up and breakdown

I might have mentioned an August meetup to some of you, but given the great events already happening in August, we're are not going to do it.

Check out these great events instead:
- Design4Drupal is happening the weekend before, on Aug 1-3. Design for Drupal, Boston is an annual web design camp covering all aspects of design, UX, & theming for Drupal websites.
- Drupal Night with Moshe Weitzman who will give a tour of Drush. This event is happening on Thursday, August 21.

The regular meetups on the first Tue of the month will resume in Sept (to be announced).
