User group meeting
It's been a busy summer for a lot of us, so we missed getting together in August.
What's the most important/interesting Drupal thing that you want to talk about?
The boardroom at NUPGE (15 Auriga Drive) is still available for us to get together.

Sounds good!
Monday, September 13th looks good.
What should the theme be? OpenConcept's sending two folks to DrupalCon, is anyone else from Ottawa going?
Anyone eager to present on something? Have we had a presentation on Drupal 7 yet? I suppose I could do that if there is enough interest.

D7 sounds good to me! An overview of the mainly used and available modules would be great too. Not about how to use them, but just to know what is available to use with D7 as of now.
I'd love to see something on
I'd love to see something on Drupal 7. I haven't played much with it yet. :)
I will do my best to come out to the next meetup if class doesn't get in the way.
Early bird...
Wow. 5:00am! You guys start early. I'll set my alarm clock... :-)

Like I said, it's been a busy summer :)
I've set it to a more reasonable hour.
Travel time
You know, some of us don't work in the building, and may need more than zero minutes to get there. =)
D7 Primer would be great...
I second or third the D7 meeting theme suggestion.
Looking forward to it.
Help to build a course catalog
What I have to build is not really an e-commerce, well, at least not in its first iteration, but a catalog of course offers for anonymous visitors on a site that I am building for a school. Let's say you have 200 teachers in France, 20 in Quebec, who offer the same series of courses, and you want to offer those courses to your anonymous visitors. You'd start a taxo with vocab to define the courses, then you may have another vocab to describe the location (country, region, city, etc), and a list of teacher with public profile and contact form. In this context I think each course can be defined as a product with attributes. Let's take an example, your visitor is looking for course X in Montreal, so he should be able to navigate your catalog and find the course, the location, the teacher, the time, etc. and a link to the teacher's contact form to gather more information.
I'm looking to find the best and most effective way to develop that kind of catalog. So I'm wondering if Ubercart is a good solution or if it is preferable to start from scratch and use a mix of modules like Taxo/CCK/Views, etc? There should be something like that somewhere in the Drupal universe that could help, no!

Sorry, wrong place to put my request
Sorry, I've made a mistake posting this request for help here.
I'd appreciate some help anyway so if someone can redirect me to the right place. Thanks,

D7
Drupal 7 should take on a good part of the agenda. It'll be good to know which modules would be available at the launch.

Drupal 7
Just thought I'd do a follow-up on Drupal 7.
I've been working in D7 for months now, but have been focused in the accessibility enhancements.
Changes include greater usability work and a new theme too.
Overlay's been a rather contentious new feature.
PHP 5's PDO abstraction layer & support for master/slave replication.
Protected cron.php, Portable PHP password hashing framework plus pluggable password hashing API
Improved support for integration of WYSIWYG editors.
Vertical Tabs added.
Improved performance on uncached page views.
Added support for language-aware searches.
RDFa support.
