In the interest of sparking attendance, it was decided at our last meeting to: post this event to the Western Mass group, open up the start of the meeting to encourage any beginner questions, and to change the home page of this group to always show group events as well as latest posts (still to be done.)

Potential Presentation

I found a coder to help me with that site I was working on, and he's done well. I know mention of the Book module to Drupal developers is tantamount to speaking the name Voldemort, but I would like to show this off, because:

The site is currently a contracting system, but it was based on an idea I had for an online course workbook system that could use Drupal as the LMS. If folks would like to see a tour in the context of this other idea, I'd be glad to do it. Just comment if so.

Is there any free guest parking on campus?

re: parking

There is no free parking on campus. There are metered lots and also a parking garage. I'm not sure what meters are available near the building but maps and information can be found at parking.umass.edu.

Just FYI - small metered lots can be a challenge to find a spot in on class days (such as today).

**Fixed the URL.

No free parking

There's essentially no free parking on campus (it would all be filled by students all the time). The is metered parking nearby -- and the parking garage.

There is also free bus service.

great meetup!

I would like to hear more about Varnish and Memcache and configurations if anyone is willing to talk about those.

Maybe some siege or apache bench techniques?

thanks,
