I guess the All Florida Drupal Meeting in Gainesville didn't get off the ground, so I thought I would suggest a local Tampa Drupal Meeting for Saturday, 1 December from 3-5 p.m. at the Panera Bread in New Tampa. This location has easy access from the I-4, I-75, and the I-275.
Everyone in the All Florida Drupal Group is invited, but I know it's a long drive for some. I'd really like to at least get out the local Drupalers in the Tampa area.
This Panera Bread does have wireless internet, and I suggest everyone bringing their laptops, so we can look at each others Drupal sites, and ask "how'd you do that?".
The Panera Bread in New Tampa is on Bruce B. Downs Blvd, 2 lights North/East of the I-75. If you're coming on the I-75, take exit 270 onto Bruce B. Downs, and drive about 1 mile North/East, at the second stoplight turn left and make an immediate right into the parking lot. At the far side (in front of Circuit City) is Panera Bread. There is a Bennigan's next door if anyone wants to continue the conversation and change the coffee for beer.

Tampa Drupal Meeting a Success!
The Tampa Drupal Meeting was a Success!
VSW, Faunapolis, and Jackezel all met at the New Tampa Panera Bread and talked about all manner of Drupal-ness: CCK, Views, Images, Categories, Taxonomy, Tags, Shoutbox, videos, forums, themes, modules, etc., etc.
We are planning another Tampa Drupal Meeting in about 2 months and plan on creating a test Drupal 6 build there and installing/configuring several modules to test their functionality and learn about Drupal 6 and from each other. If you are having a particularly hard time with a module, plan on coming to the meeting and see if we can help; and/or if you know how to make a module/theme jump through hoops, come and show us how to do it too!
See you then...
Re: Tampa Drupal Meeting a Success!
Definitely a great time, thanks for setting this up.
Look forward to the next meeting, and blowing up some test, potentially Drupal 6 core sites to see what we can mess with!
I think we wound up yabbering for close to 2-1/2 hours.
