Revival of Las Vegas Drupal Group

There are a few Drupal devs in my company and I believe TicketCake runs Drupal too.

Lets do this!

Hola Russ.

If you want to get the ball rolling, then start pushing. Waiting for someone else to decide to get moving and then to actually start moving is frustrating. I know. I was in your position 5 years ago.

So then here's what you need to do:

1. Make sure you have a day and time set aside for the space for the meeting. If you're planning on continuing to host on a long term basis, try to pick something where you can say the first, second, last, etc. Monday, Friday, etc. of the month, and try to have at least 2-3 hours of time available.
2. Make an announcement in all the places where people are waiting and watching, like this group and the Meetup group (you can do something like recommend or suggest a meeting on Meetup, even if you can't create an actual event).
3. In your announcement, or as a comment, solicit involvement, like presentations, refreshments, etc. If someone says they'll help, acknowledge that right away and pin them down to a specific thing.
4. Spread the word around UNLV. There are lots of people and departments that use Drupal there. I can name maybe two or three people (who you probably already know) that might still be there and might be able to participate and/or help out at least a little bit.
5. Create an agenda for the meeting, even if it's a basic one, so that there's a plan of action for what will be done/accomplished.

Some caveats:

• Don't be surprised if there's only one or two people there. Even if there is, conduct the meeting in the same way as you would if there were 10 or 100 people there.
• It doesn't matter what day or times you choose, there will always be someone who can't make it.
• There will also be people who say they would be there, if only the meeting were on some other day or at some other time (or in some other location). They still won't be there, even if you change something to suit them.

I am still traveling through Mexico and Central America, but my current plan should have me back in Las Vegas by June, so I can help and participate at that time.
