Albany

Hello everyone,

It was really awesome to meet the lot of you last week. There's a lot of great Drupal energy between us all, and I hope we've all been able to learn at least a little bit by bouncing ideas and thoughts off of each other.

We were able to follow the outline of proposed talks pretty well even though we weren't able to get to it all. I'd like to leave a review of the meeting here for those of us who'd like to checkback and for those of us who weren't able to make it. Then hopefully we can start planning our next meetup.

Hello,

I've been Drupaling for a little over a year now, and I've been interested in getting more involved with Drupal in terms of Meetups and community participation. There doesn't seem to be a very Vibrant Drupal community here in Albany, but I do know of a handful of people around here using it.

I don't have a location worked out, though my work is willing to let us use their conference room if we can't find something better. The one here is small and dated.

In another thread the possibility of an Albany-area meetup at DrupalCon SF was briefly discussed, but I thought we'd move any in-depth discussion here to keep things tidy. For now, this thread is to gauge general interest before the event, and to give us an URL to pass on to those who aren't yet part of the group but might be interested. As the date gets closer and we have a pretty good idea of who's coming and what's happening, we can talk schedules and location, and go from there.

Well, the Albany group has finally been approved and it's open for membership. I'll be posting more later this week about our first meetup.

I'd like to try to get a group of drupal users together in New York's Capital Region but it seems like a good idea to see how many of us there are out there first. I am the director of a public library in Columbia County and have recently launched my first drupal site. I'm hoping that we can form a group that would provide feedback on project development, drupal-related conversation, and networking. Please respond to this post if you'd be interested in participating.
