User group meeting

Features is an essential tool I use every day. Working with Drupal would be much less repeatable without it. I highly recommend incorporating it into your workflow.

But it has it limitations. It can do a lot but it can't do everything. I'll show you some of the short comings I've found and how I have overcome them. By writing some custom code of course! Not much but some.

Thursday, Octoberr 9 7p - 9p. Room 8 Curtiss Hall, Iowa State University.

LOCATION

We'll be meeting in Room 8, Curtiss Hall at Iowa State University (Google Map: http://g.co/maps/a7pzb ). If you enter via the east door you will go all the way back, go up one level and turn right until the end of the north wing.

Please do sign up so you get a reminder the day before!

See you there!

My experience with Drupal has earned questions that I am hoping I can bounce off the group.

Thanks for the discussion!

I very much appreciate the group giving insight into Drupal last night, despite wearing a different kind of jacket :) . Hopefully my CIO will be receptive to changing the platform!

Just curious if any of you run production apps on a Mac OSX Server?

Mac OS X (Server or not)

Mac OS X (Server or not) would be a lot better than Windows since it's a unix-based OS. This is why a large number of developers tend to run Mac OS X for their local development. However I've only ever really seen Drupal on Linux for a production environment. The most popular seem to be Ubuntu/Debian or Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora. All the major linux distributions are very capable of running Drupal in the production environment.
