topics meetups meetings

Let's do lightning talks at our meeting next Tuesday. Essentially, that means folks will volunteer to give a 5 to 10 minute demo on anything Drupal. No presentation materials required but we will have a big screen you can hook your laptop up to if you want to do a demo. You can talk about a module you like, an issue you had building a site, an idea for a drupal module project etc.

An issue related to module documentation I have is that a number of the modules such as imce and notifications have lots of available settings without much explanation regarding when to use what setting (how to make it work for you). I was thinking that perhaps this issue could be addressed in some manner by our meetup group by having someone who knows a particularly highly used module well to walk the group through the process for setting it up, with some explanation for what the different settings mean, how to customize for particular situations. Perhaps some kind of ‘breakout’ group?

I wanted to start the discussion on what topics each of us would like to see presented at future MD Drupal Meetups.

Here are some of my suggestions, please add your ideas to the list :

• Working with Arguments
• Theming 101
• Integrating Social Media into your Drupal Sites
