meetings

We had Finn from Agile Collective, Stephen from White October and Johan from Torchbox in on Wednesday 5th March to talk about how their respective companies handle Drupal development and deployment.

Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OGBOu0pTXc - was just recorded off a laptop camera so sound sometimes poor especially when someone talking behind the mic.

I am new to drupal. I am wondering whether we could start regular meet ups like other groups.
Guys, there is alot to learn when we come together.

Say Hey!

About a dozen Facebook API developers and application designers are getting together at the A's game tomorrow night (Weds - 5/18) to cheer on the local squad, have a beer or two and talk tech in a casual, fun environment. Your TICKETS are FREE, but it's first come, first serve. Weather is due to dry up this afternoon, and should be delightfully brisk by tomorrow evening. Game starts at 7pm - take BART in / out of the city.

Contact me to reserve your spot today and I'll see you at the yard tomorrow night.

In advance of having the meeting scheduled and location decided, I'd like to see what everybody would like to share and/or learn about at the May 2010 meeting.

Topic suggestions:

• redux of Drupalcon (I'm going - anybody else?)
• what's new (in practice) in d7's theme layer
• storage options in d7
• conversion of d6 modules to d7
• managing drupal projects
• etc...

Please add (a) suggestions and (b) if you'd want to PRESENT :) on any of the above or your own suggested topic at this or a future meeting!!!

As promised in another thread, here's the "please reply here" thread on the May 2010 meeting:

• What's your preferred day of the week & time? (e.g.: thursday @ 7pm; saturday mornings)
• Where would you attend a meeting? (a) Buffalo, (b) Rochester, and/or (c) somewhere in between

(A May meeting is going to happen! Make your voice heard!! ;)

I just cam across this: http://serviceweek.mozilla.org: "Mozilla Service Week [Sept. 14-21] is all about community – your community. We want you to find a way to use technology to make a difference in your neighborhood, your school, your library, your town. We welcome any act of service, no matter how small."

Hi, all - I was wondering if anybody was interested in something like a user group meeting. You know - pizza, presentations, witty banter, whining, high-fiving... I'm located in Buffalo, and I understand that this group is intended to meet in Rochester exclusively, but I'm up for the drive if there's interest. Anybody else?

[And if there's anybody floating around in Buffalo, please drop me a message sometime and maybe we can organize something local to us!]

Anyway, I'll be at drupalcon DC in March - hope to see some of you there!/BF

Want to find out more about Drupal and meet other people using it? Looking for fellow Drupaler's in sunny southern California? You'll find organizations and events going on from Santa Barbara to San Diego and points in between. Here's a list of some of the Drupal activities and groups in SoCal:

Regional groups:

Los Angeles
Orange County
San Diego
Santa Barbara

Events:

What would you like to see happen for a 'first' step? Some additional postings/discussions here on the group? A live chat of some kind? An actual in-person meeting? If so, would it just be to get to know each other or perhaps some kind of show-and-tell? What do you think we should do?
