Great turnout last night at @coworkingroc for the meeting! Jim Campbell gave a great intro to / history of jQuery, including some examples he cooked up just for us! [Jim: Feel free to include a link to your PPT if you'd like, for the benefit of those who couldn't attend!]
Anthony Mikiciuk talked a bit about r-y-p.org, a gallery-heavy site he just launched the day before.
We also talked a bit about RIT's recent (and soon to be campus wide!) adoption of Drupal, and some infrastructure models to support 200-multisite instances (WebEnabled, Aegir, etc) as well as the importance of sandbox isolation. Sounds like a lot of users... in need of a user group! :)
Next month's meeting should be Tue, 19 Oct 2010 in Buffalo. Venue TBD. If anybody's interested in presenting, please volunteer in the comments!

Great meeting
I enjoyed the meeting a lot. Thank you all for coming and for your interesting talk and commentary.
Here is a link to the presentation I did. It's on Slideshare.net so you don't need Powerpoint to see it.
Presentation of JQuery and Drupal
Until next time,

Follow up: scroll visibility in jQuery
Hi-
After the meeting, one WNY Drupal user asked me if there was a way to have jQuery throw an event if an element became visible in a scroll window. At the time, I told him I did not know of a direct way to do that. On the drive home, I came up with a thought: jQuery does have a scroll() event. Why not test visibility of an element while handling the scroll event?
So, here is a brief demo:
Demo of element visibility in scroll
View the page source to get the code.
It doesn't do an exact job, but demonstrates the principle (tested in both Firefox and IE).
Thanks,
