Event type: 
User group meeting

Hi everyone,

Long time since we had a Drupal meetup in Mumbai..

Along with Amit Vyas, I, Mukesh Agarwal, would want to conduct a Drupal informal meet up wherein all Drupal developers can come and share anything about Drupal.. I would suggest that we do it in a coffee shop but if more people turn up then we have to think of something else.. We can always go to a shopping mall and discuss at the Food Court/Canteen.. R-city Mall at Ghatkopar might not be a bad idea either... but we are open to suggestions.. We would ideally want to choose a place where most of us can reach quickly.. try and avoid the scorching heat of Mumbai :) We would want to discuss on how to keep the group active and also spread the word.. All ideas and suggestions are welcome and I would want to actively implement them as well..

I have a lot to talk about my experience with Drupal.. things that I like about Drupal, things that i would want to improve, issues/problems I have.. Again, open to have limited set of topics to discuss as well coz the list might go on.. Please add your ideas/suggestion as comments.. Ideally, wanted to do this over a weekend for more participation, but I'm open to weekdays after 7 as well..

Lets keep a count of how many people are sure to attend..

Doodle Poll

Hi,

I think Doodle is the better way to come up with the date

Lets move the event to 2nd week of May

I have been asked by a couple of guys already (offline) to reschedule the meet to 2nd week of May, say May 8th or 9th.. Besides I think we r talking about a very short notice to meet on May 2.. Unless we have any objection, lets meet on May 9th..

Hi Mukesh,

Am very excited to join drupal meet, I think 16 or 23 on this month will be the best date for meetup,
but on 15th there will be T20 final ;-). So 23 will the great Idea.
If you can create event online then it would be great!

Agenda of the meetup

mukesh.agarwal17's picture

Rajan, I guess we have already delayed our meetup for one week so unless everyone else has an objection, I think we should go for tomorrow, Mat 9th..

Moving on, Dipen called me up last night to talk about the agenda as we have not yet decided upon that and I think he is bang on.. Following is what I would sugggest:

  1. Introduce ourselves with a brief of our Drupal association, how long have we been associated with Drupal, our experience in brief as well -- for around half an hr... (Dipen suggested this)
  2. Open discussions on the issues that we have faced till now in Drupal.. It could be anything from installation to configuring views to fixing css in IE :) to drupal performance..
  3. Community discussion.. This will be our first drupal meetup in Mumbai.. we need to find ways to have this often.. What the community can do to solve our own problems? what can we do to spread the word (only if people want to)

Actually i could not come up with a lot of ideas for the meetup and i do not want to limit our discussions to some specific matters in the first meet.. in future, we can have specific discussions but for now, lets keep it simple..

If people have other ideas, we are all open to hear and implement them.. :)

Cheers,
Mukesh Agarwal
