Drupal meetup in Santa Barbara on March 15, 2010

The next Santa Barbara Drupal meetup is on Monday, March 15, 2010, at the Marine Science Institute at UC Santa Barbara. You're invited! As always, just bring your laptop, a copy of Pro Drupal Development, Using Drupal or whatever else you need.

This event is free and no RSVP is required, but if you plan to attend please sign up by logging in and clicking the "Sign up" button below. Knowing how many people are interested in attending can help us better select good locations in the future. People who sign up will also have last minute details (if there are any) sent to them before the meeting.

Raffle! Prizes! Collect them all!

We'll be giving away a license to Path Finder (a $40 value) to one of the attendees. Path Finder is an awesome file manager that we at Exaltation of Larks find invaluable for our development work and use as a drop-in replacement for the Apple Finder on Mac OS X. In fact, it makes the Finder look like it was made for children by Fischer-Price. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited, you must be present to win, etc.

Location

The UC Santa Barbara Marine Science Institute is hosting us this month. We'll be meeting in the Marine Science Building in the 2nd floor conference room (Rm 2318) right off of the balcony. You can reach it from the stairs in the courtyard or the elevators.

Topics

Previous meetups have often been held in coffeeshops and were a combination of open discussions and lightning talk-style presentations. We'll have the use of a conference room with a projector this time and have a great opportunity to have longer presentations. If you'd like to present on a topic or just ask questions of the group, please feel free to leave a comment below.
