talking points

Hey folks, we had another CoffeeTalk this Sunday. There was a lot of ground covered, but still more than we had time for. So we were thinking that it would be good for people to chime in about the topics they would like to discuss in future meetings, as well as follow-up for this past talk. Once we get the topic(s) sorted out on the page, we can then use it fill out important notes about what is discussed live during the CoffeeTalk. If any of the discussions warrant their own thread afterwards they can just be copied in to a new page of their own. So PLEASE CHIME IN!

UPDATE: I made a mistake and had comments turned off. Please comment on this! I want your feedback and discussion!

In just six weeks, this group has really taken off, and I have been extremely pleased and excited by the response from the community, and by people's willingness to jump in and help out.

I think we're doing a lot of valuable work. We've got an excellent core group and a process for having "lesson" events that seems to really provide value, especially given the excellent work that so many of you have done to create screencasts and written documentation after the fact. So thank you all once again for your participation.

The topic of the day is growing pains. There was much discussion of this in Sunday's CoffeeTalk discussion, which I was thrilled to see take on a life of its own without my participation.

There are several points I would like to cover, not least of which is what (if anything) to do with the domains drupaldojo.com, and .org, which Squidster took the initiative to acquire, and .net which is owned by Senpai. Read on for my thoughts on this, including a pretty graph!

With 'Drupal' support for installation profiles eminent (full-on distributions to follow), I'm thinking it will provide a rich platform for collaboratively building (real sites), learning, and giving back to Drupal.

Based on some of the recent conversations on the irc and in this forum, I just wanted to throw out some random ideas. It's a wiki, so with your help, we can make it sound logical...
