The Santa Cruz Drupal User's Group is looking to connect Drupal users in and around Santa Cruz, California.
We have a budding tech community in Santa Cruz. One factor in our tech growth is the use of Drupal at several local web shops, start-ups, and organizations. Drupal use at UC Santa Cruz is also growing and it's time we all got together to share knowledge and learn from each other.
We (almost always) meet on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7pm. Meetings are free and held at NextSpace at 101 Cooper Street in downtown Santa Cruz. All are welcome. Ring the buzzer to get let into the building.
Note - If the meeting day falls on a holiday or during the winter holidays (e.g. January), then we might reschedule or cancel the meeting but there will be a discussion or event here for it.

I was very surprised to see that Drupal made it to the "top 10 websites to watch for 2011" list on CNN:

Read moreCarpooling for BADCamp
If you are going to BADCamp this weekend, please list the days/times you are going & coming back so some of us can carpool. I will be going both days but am not sure yet if I'm spending the night.
I want to be there:
Saturday - by 10:30am to at least 5:30 (7pm party sounds good too)
Sunday - morning (flexible) to at least 5:30
I am willing to drive but may spend the night Saturday night, and my car is very noisy (needs a new transmission one of these days).
If you are willing to give someone a ride, please leave a comment.
Thanks!

Drupal Projects Cost More than Wordpress or Joomla
http://mashable.com/2010/11/04/wordpress-drupal-joomla/
Drupal projects cost more than Wordpress or Joomla projects so the latter are more popular. Not too surprising since Drupal is more flexible and configurable and has more functionality that can be integrated in.

All are welcome.
Read moreFireBug for Drupal!!!
Even before diving into XDebug, check out the FireBug for Drupal project!
Install and enable the FireBug for Drupal module on your Drupal install, install the FireBug for Drupal FireFox extension and start debugging. The new Drupal panel in FireBug has a number of sub-panels to show essential information about the pages loaded. There are function calls you can make on the server to generate messages and everything goes to a FireBug for Drupal panel.
Read moreTopics for Upcoming Meetings
I think we are set for the next meeting with a debugger talk but is there anything anyone wants to learn about?
I did an SEO talk a long time ago and since then our membership has shifted so maybe some of the new members would be interested in that?
Throw out some topics...

Single Sign On
I am wondering if anybody in the group has had a module that they have used that does a single sign-on across multiple domains on multiple servers. Not expecting the hard lifting to be done by others; just a point in the right direction.
