User group meeting

The Ann Arbor Drupal User Group has a new meeting location! Our next meeting will be at Ann Arbor Spark on 27Aug07 at 7pm. Ann Arbor Spark has generously offered to sponsor our group by providing a regular central meeting location. They have promised us the last Monday of the month into the foreseeable future. This will bring some needed stability.

Everyone has been asking for help with theming. So let's tackle this monkey. Unfortunately we don't have a theming guru in the group (yet). With out a volunteer to lead us, we are going to have to put our heads together. Everyone bring what they can; solutions and questions. I'll set-up an environment to work in and some basic code solutions I have implemented. You bring your target designs, themes that you have already built or one that you are currently working on. I expect this will take more than one session but we should be able to make some decent progress.

Hope to see you then!

Time:
27th August 2007 @ 7pm EST.

It is, what you make of it.

Clearly theming is the biggest hurrdle we collectively face. Without out a clear local guru in this field we are going to have to pull up our boot straps and dig in. I will do my best to lead the group but I will need your help.

We are six days from our next meeting and I encourage you to think about theming prior to Monday night. Gather materials and spend sometime figuring out where your gaps are. Spend some time getting up to speed on the basics before the meeting. This will be more of a working meeting rather than an information download. I expect it will take more than one meeting to do the topic of theming justice.

Hope to see you all there and don't forget we have a new location.

Do bring all your theming materials - Completed, In progress and Proposed.
