It was nice to attend the meeting yesterday. My apologies for dipping out a little bit early but I had to. It was nice meeting all of you and I'm sure I will see more of everybody. I do have a question but did not have a really good chance to throw it out there. It's on the subject of Image & Photo Galleries. I have been using Gallery2 with the integration module quite often to get what I wanted accomplished but it is a pain in the butt since you need to modify the Gallery2 template, a whole separate installation, and the list goes on. I'm looking for good alternatives that are SOLID and reliable, I remember I tried to get off the Gallery2 platform to do something integrated and at the time there was not any very good image galleries out there for Drupal. Keep in mind this was awhile back and this is the first attempt to find a new solution since a over two years or so.
Thank you!

For galleries
We usually use imagefield, imagecache, a custom node type (call it say: gallery), and something like lightbox, thickbox, or somesuch. I haven't used Gallery2 so I don't really know if it would be easier to use that. There are many ways to accomplish this though. A bit of poking around and I am sure you will find something that works well for you. Gallery features are pretty popular so you may search for documentation at Drupal (howto's) for methods that others have used.
Good luck.

One of the nice new features
One of the nice new features in the module listings on drupal.org is the related modules list on the right side.
I would suggest visiting a few of the modules such as lightbox etc and see what else they list on the right that are related.
