Last night Brevard Drupalists met at the offices of GMRS in Melbourne for a 2.5-hour meetup.
There were 7 people in attendance including two new faces. During the meetup Gil did a nice overview of the Features module followed by my presentation of a potpourri a Drupal modules including Radioactivity, Zenophile, Views Unpublished, and Override Node Options.
Gil and Mike also sent some time sharing their knowledge about Drush and Drush Make, including showing how to get it up and running quickly.
The evening concluded with a short discussion about Drupalcon SF and some of my recommendations about some excellent sessions to catch online.
