1. How to find the venue

What is this MongoDB I keep hearing about? And what the heck is a NoSQL database? If these questions have been keeping you awake at nights, make sure to come to our next Drupal Developer Network meetup on October 23, 2012. Joe Chin will explain what MongoDB is (hint: it's a NoSQL database), how it integrates with Drupal and how it can be used to help speed up your Drupal website.

Agenda

2.30PM. We head from Toa Payoh MRT (outside the gantries) to a nearby coffee shop. Look for somebody wearing the Drupal t-shirt.

4.00PM. Finish

We will map out the wireframes for the front page and other pages. Results will be shared for community discussion at http://forum.drupal.org.sg after the session.

The site is currently hosted at forum.drupal.org.sg. Once we have the features in place we will start using the Drupal site to manage our meetup announcements and signup rather than meetup.com.

RSVP if you want to take part.

Meetup location is an MRT station. We will head somewhere nearby with convenient tables and aircon at 2:30PM sharp.

If you can't make it for this meetup, and would like to help out develop the drupal.org.sg web site, you can register at http://forum.drupal.org.sg/forums/building-drupalorgsg and take part in the forum discussions.

1. Climb the Drupal Ladder

We're having a real "hands-on" meetup to introduce the Drupal Ladder to Singaporean drupal developers. http://drupalladder.org/ is a tutorial website that will teach you the skills necessary to submit patches and contribute to Drupal 8 Core, which you actually can help develop (how cool is that!).

The meetup is most useful for Drupal developers who code in PHP. Use this opportunity to learn new skills, tools and techniques like Git (version control) + find out how the international drupal community uses the issue queue to communicate and develop the next drupal version. These are all valuable skills that will give your resume an edge/star.

Bring your laptops and Drupal dev environments and let's do some coding together!

1. Drupal.org.sg sprint - help develop the drupal community web site

We're finally getting a website for the Singapore drupal community with features that will make it easier to stay in touch with other developers as well as membership management features such as PayPal payments.

Mattias Wiking, long time meetup member and drupal developer is leading this initiative and you can help out set up the various views, taxonomies and other features that we want to add to our web site.

Venue - Pigeonhole

As we're not renting the venue exclusively, please respect that Pigeonhole is a cafe - do patronize their counter for drinks and snacks. We will break for lunch somewhere nearby.

What to bring

• Your laptop with your favorite dev environment
• Charger and power strip
• 3G dongle if you have (in case the wifi at Pigeonhole can't handle all of us surfing at the same time)
• Your brain
• Good drupal mood

See you there!
