Doing outreach to help New York Drupal User Group grow
To promote continued growth of our local community i would like to start providing some "free" stuff to the group. I havent identified just what is it that we need to help us grow, but lets not have this put a stop to our plans.
Here are some of the things that i believe may/will be useful for our group:
Read moreNew Features and a New Look for Drupal NYC
I've taken advantage of the new Panels integration with Groups, http://groups.drupal.org/node/10445, to create what I hope will be a more useful site for the NYC Drupal community. The site now has the a welcome panel and a featured post in the top row. The next two rows list the latest Discussions, Polls, Events, and Wiki posts. Finally, the good old river of news lists all posts to the site in chronological order.

Drupal NYC IRC channel
Please join us in IRC.
We've created a channel on IRC that is for our group. Others are welcome as well, but this is mainly for our NYC group. Sometimes your questions fall into the mix on regular Drupal IRC channels. This is why we've created our very own channel. We can get to know each other a bit more, when it comes time for our meetups we'll be more connected. So I invite everyone to join us.

For the October Meetup I'm thinking we can do something laid back and fun. Let's meet at Sweet & Vicious after work on Tuesday October 30th from 6-8pm.
Sweet & Vicious - http://www.sweetandvicious.com/
5 Spring St. between Elizabeth & Bowery

Sweet & Vicious is a good after work bar that still retains some aspects of the old Bowery. It is the only business in a massive graffiti clad building, which still looks like it is occupied by squatters.
We can all get to know each other, trade some ideas, and start implementing those ideas in the month to come. Feel free to post your interests in the comments below.

Lullabot has another round of workshops coming up in January. We've got a great space in Providence, RI centrally located for people in both the Boston and New York areas -- and close to the airport for people coming from further away. Over the course of the week, we'll be building a single project – a Drupal-based CRM and attendees can sign up for individual workshops, or stay the whole week to see the project from beginning to end. Here's the rundown:
