Reminder - Gainesville meetup tonight

ayesilbas's picture

Just a reminder we are meeting tonight. The parking lot and buildings can be a little confusing. There is a big hedge line in the middle of the parking lot making it an oval. The building you want is on the right side of the hedge. Go to the end of the parking lot and enter through the last set of double doors on the building.

Sorry I couldn't make it.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I'll be there next month! Can't wait for the wrap up post.

Wrap Up

I thought I would write a wrap up about last Thursday's meetup.

Amanda started to present her calendar system where you can reserve a room. She created her own content types cloned the default calendar view and modified hers to display by week only instead of monthly. The next thing she said she would do is find out how to make those reservations exclusive (no other reservation possible at the same time).

After the presentation on calendar, Amanda also gave us a quick intro on how to use Panels which I thought was great. You can create any layout and then add the content to it just by clicking and selecting from menus, blocks, etc.

Then I gave a few CSS tips using the Zen theme.

There was a proposal to change the meetup to the 2nd Thursday of the month rather then the 3rd Thursday. If everyone thinks this is good for them, please write a comment. We'll need to contact ultimike so he can change it on the Florida group page.

Hope to see you all there again next time!

Event Bookings

Hi everyone,

As a follow up to the wrap up, I spent some time looking for something that might help with reserving a room and preventing double booking. Here's a link to a module that might help you: http://drupal.org/project/eventbookings

I was also wondering who had the list of emails from the first meetup. Could we send out an email to see if changing to 2nd Thursday works for everyone? I haven't heard from anyone yet. Looks like not many people come to this group page.

Go Gators!
