meetup hackfest

Hi All,

I'm a co-organizer for the Triangle, NC Drupal User's group, and we're looking to increase our number of meetings to 2x/month and have one of those meetings be a "hack night" or sorts, where members come in with their problems and find someone to help them find a solution.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience hosting an event of this type, and if you have any advice, tips, warnings, etc. to provide to those of us looking to do this for the first time.

Thanks!

Anybody up for a Drupal meetup between x-mas and the new year? Say... umm... the 28th or 29th?

Unless somebody else has a better idea (and is willing to follow-up on it), I'd simply aim to hold an informal hackfest aimed at bugfixes and/or cool stuff like install profiles, mass hosting, decisions + CCK, etc.

The idea is for this to be fun... this is the holiday season after all?

Any takers? If you are interested, please let us know which of these days would best suit you.

Yours drupally,

Omar
