August Meeting. Mike Potter gave a very insightful talk about usability for the non-technical end user and the use of the Drupal module Nodes In Block: http://drupalmodules.com/module/nodes-in-block There was so many side conversations going on that it was impossible to document everything covered. If you're anywhere in southern Colorado, you miss a great deal of valuable information if you're not here.
September Meeting. We are going to borrow from the playbooks of other Colorado Drupal user groups. Come prepared for a 5-minute mini-presentation, demonstrating a site, a problem or a feature. No fancy slides needed. Just a little demo that will catapult many discussion topics.
Logistics. Our September meeting will be Tuesday, September September 7th. Everyone likes and appreciates the USAFA venue, however, we can never be 100% sure that the venue will available. Our backup location will be Monarch Digital's conference room. Watch updates here for any changes. Map to Doolittle Hall at USAFA here: http://events.usafa.org/about-us.htm .

Proposed new organizers
So that we have a depth of talent beyond just me, both Mike Potter, mpotter, and Caleb Thorne, calebthorne, have both agreed to be organizers of this group. Don't worry; I'm not going anywhere.
As I understand, prestonso is in the process of moving to Boston. As he won't be able to attend our meetings anymore, it might be best to remove him as an organizer of SCUG.
Please let your opinions be known here about these proposed changes per http://groups.drupal.org/node/39596.

That sounds perfectly fine. I could think of no better person to organize SCUG meetups.
Please let me know if you need anything from me, and I hope that we can connect sometime when I will be back from Boston.
Yours,
Preston

Good News on USAFA
So I was able to convince Gayatri to stay and lock up after the meet-up. Many of you know that I am leaving the AOG to pursue another opportunity and she will be there so for at least this month we can keep Doolittle Hall as a venue.
Please thank her when you see her :) See ya'll on the 7th!
