Let's try to make sure we have presentations lined up in advance for these meetups. So... let us know if, a) you want to give a presentation (on anything Drupal or related), and/or b) you would like to learn more about something.
Thanks!
PS: Nice turnout last night - largest in a long time. Many thanks to Matt Zacks at www.inresonance.com for providing the space and snacks for last night's meeting. That was a great space. I think we should try to use it often. Spaces we now meet at include: Amherst Media, Last Call Media, Common Media (wow that's a lot of medias), Hampshire College (best in summer), inRESONANCE, Knectar, Amherst College.

Location different on Meetup.com
I've noticed that the listing for this meeting on Meetup.com has the location as Amherst Media instead of Last Call Media. I'm guessing that's a mistake, and Last Call Media is the correct location?
It defaults to Amherst Media
It defaults to Amherst Media since that's where we were having it more often than not for a while. Thanks for catching that. I just updated the location on the meetup event to Last Call. See you there!
Organic Groups Comparison
Last meeting was a great turnout and spot, indeed. I'm really looking forward to the items on the agenda for the upcoming April meeting.
On the topic of Organic Groups, I came across a blog post the other day entitled "Why We Chose Drupal Organic Groups: A Comparative Study" which I found interesting and helpful.
Intro to Views
I'm a moderately experienced Drupal end user. I'm familiar with a lot of the features of Drupal, but not Views. This will be my first time attending one of your group's meetings, so if someone is willing to cover Intro to Views, I'd really like to learn!
Views
I'd be willing to do a
viewspresentation, but views is a big topic. Here is a proposal in limited scope:Basic Views: * Creating a view * how to navigate there * One `content type` * the most frequent clicks (there are a lot of options, the best of options) * Multilple displays of one view * page * block * adding the block to a page(s)Time permitting:
If there are other more specific/pressing questions on
viewsI'd be glad to re-focus the presentation to those questions.Let me know what you think.
