Won't be attending
Hi. I'm sorry, but I won't be attending tonight - Mondays are tough for me.
Didn't realize
Originally had planned to attend, but didn't realize this fell on my short week. I have too much work to get done in my off hours and too few hours to do it. Sorry! Enjoy everyone!
Can't Make it tonight
as a dental appointment cropped up. I hope everyone has a good time and see you next month. Any thought on two meetups a month?
Sorry folks, I still plan on
Sorry folks, I still plan on coming out tonight.

Rain be darned!
Good afternoon all!
I'm sorry some people will not be able to join us tonight - schedules can get tricky. I'm looking forward to some Drupal and web development chatting this evening.
In anticipation of upcoming meetups, could people send me a direct message about what days of the week work best for them, location in the Capital Region (if you know of places that would be willing to host for free please share) and any ideas you may have for topics? I'll be honest, Mondays and Tuesdays seem to work best so they are still likely to be the evenings we have gatherings, but I'll try to take people's availability into consideration.
Thank you,
Meredith

I WILL be attending tonight
I will attend tonight - I usually attend a class on Monday night, but I'll skip it this week.
Calendar
any way we could have a Calendar module put in to this site to show meetings and workshops? maybe a module that can link up to google calendar to send reminders? just an idea. I'm a visual thinker so a Calender module that links to my main Calendar would help remind me of the meetings and workshops so i don't miss them.
submit modules
I have been working on a few modules based off some of the code i showed in a meeting a few months back. But I have no idea how to submit a module or theme to drupal.org for people to use. Is it like github?
Sandboxes :-) then you submit your module and get.....
Head over to https://www.drupal.org/project/user and follow the instructions. GIT is the tool in use and you'll need to first submit a few things on your D/O profile including your public key. If you need help drop me a line.
You'd have to file an issue
Remember that drupal.org supports more than 1 million users, so any change is vetted pretty carefully before it can be put into production.
I'd start by reading this https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalorg
There is an "add to calendar"
There is an "add to calendar" button on each event that works with ical and any software that supports ics files. It looks like a little calendar located in the side bar of the webpage. The link its self looks like this
https://groups.drupal.org/ical/xxxxxx
It will download a .ics file which can be imported into google calendar.
To submit a module you must
To submit a module you must have it reviewed by the community and meet two requirements: Full compliance with drupal code standards, and fill a niche service that no other existing modules (sandbox or live) provide. Depending on who's doing the vetting your milage will vary. Once you're an approved developer you can roll as many modules as you like with no over sight.
