Start:
2008-03-12 18:00 - 21:00 US/Pacific Event type:
User group meeting
The tentative plan for the meeting is to have a recap of DrupalCon Boston, a demo of all the new features in Drupal 6, and a theming section that Matt Westgate is calling "Drupal: bringing sexy back".
We'll be at the Bus Project for the meeting and then if there's demand, we can step across the street to Produce Row. See the Google Map for directions to both locations.

Out Of Town
I have a last-minute business trip to Montreal I need to be at on Wednesday. How would ya'll feel bumping this a week? Possible?
Looking forward to hangin' with the p-town Drupal crew! Yeehaw!
Fine with me
That's fine with me.
March Meeting
Does this mean tomorrow's meeting is canceled?
The New Guy
I'm new to the group and wouldn't mind meeting whomever shows up on Wednesday. Even if the agenda gets pushed back.

I'd prefer next week as well. Just got back from SXSWi and would be happy to share some experiences from that.

Bus Project Availability?
I know nothing about our arrangement with Bus Project regarding usage of their space. Along with half the group not knowing about a last minute change, that would be my primary concern for bumping to next week.
Agreed. A sizable amount of
Agreed. A sizable amount of the recent group attendees seemed not to have signed up for this group and would likely still turn up.

Keep the meeting to plan the Drupal Mini-Camp
rockitdip is right in that we should keep the meeting. I also want to hammer out the date for the drupal mini-camp.
monthly meetings
And I changed plans for something else to go tomorrow night.
If we want to, we can add a meeting next week to meet with Matt W.
Next week
I'd have a much higher chance of being able to attend next week. The monthly meeting is the same night as Gresham's Neighborhood Coalition meeting, and as a Neighborhood Association president, it's something I have to go to. Since both meetings are scheduled for the second Wednesday of every month, I can never make a Drupal meeting.

Lets stick with the schedule
Lets stick with the schedule. We are (or at least should be ;)) on the Bus Project's calendar for the 2nd Wednesday. I think it's best not to move it at the last minute since people have already made their plans at this point.
I'd love to schedule a "social" meeting for next week. Perhaps we could do it some place like the Lucky Lab in SE?
Sounds good ya'll. See ya
Sounds good ya'll. See ya next meeting.
Sending Drupal love from a cold and snowy Montreal!

Can't make it tonight, but a meetup at the Lab sounds good.

What's on the agenda for tonight?
Has the agenda changed for tonight? Is someone still going to go over the new features in 6 as well as some theming?
thanks

I would be willing to try to whip something up
I'm somewhat new in town, but I had a standing offer for the LA drupal meetup that I would whip up a presentation on any topic they want as long as they gave me warning. I don't have much time today as I've just taken a full time position, but at least for future meetings my offer stands. Any topic.
One of the most popular ones from LA, was the 'Understanding and Using the Drupal.org issue queue.' While that was a big help to alot of folks in that area, I suspect the interest in topics here will be a bit different.
So seriously let me know and I'll try to whip something up. I don't know about tonight though.
Agenda?
Is it possible for some really basic questions on the agenda? I just put up a new drupal site, and I'm confused by some key modules (mainly Views), and very interested in SEO. My questions might be too basic for a full meeting, but it could be a nice opportunity to practice talking about the basics? I'm coming anyway, just wanted to throw that out there...
There are always people

Tonight: Planning for our mini Drupal Dev-Camp
Just a reminder - We will have 30 minutes at the beginning of the meeting to work on plans for our upcoming Drupal dev day. (see: http://groups.drupal.org/node/8899 )
Priorities for conversation:
1) Where (seems like 2 options have been suggested)
2) When (leaning toward a Saturday in May)
3) 3-4 people who agree to help with general planning (the names are out there, let's finalize.)
Meeting
What is the location of the meeting?
Is the meeting just for designers or can people attend who have Drupal websites or are looking for Drupal designers?
Our location is always The

Everybody is welcome
To answer your second and third questions, anybody can come. We talk about all things Drupal.
Indeed. I missed that part,
Indeed. I missed that part, but I believe that there are more coders and others present than designers. We could use a few more designers actually. Everyone is welcome.

Agreed. Let's hammer this
Agreed. Let's hammer this out before we lose interest again ;).
Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I'd like to help too. I have some convention-running experience and exposure.
We might also want to consider BarCamp-style events, like mini Ignite-style flash presentations, networking events and possibly even being a two-day event? Maybe Friday night networking?

http://drupaldojo.com/ - learn about Drupal.
