Events, Meetups, and Workshops

Edit 2/10/08. DISREGARD THIS POST.

The signup.module has been implemented on this site.

Moshe recently added a New Attendees tab on event nodes here on g.d.o. If you go to an Event page such as the Austin Meetup on Sat, 2/09/08 and run your mouse over the i am not attending link at the bottom of the event description, it should tell you the following:

Mark me as "attending" for this event

Hey folks,

I'm only throwing this out as an option since I haven't seen any other ideas for February. If you have an alternative idea, let's hear it!

In the meantime and for our February meetup, what do you think about doing something similar to the Boston's group's Lightning Talks?

Do you want to receive an email each time a message is posted to this group? This will allow you to know right away when an event for the Austin group is being planned and, more importantly, the actual details once the host/coordinator has firmed up the plans.

If you aren't already subscribed via email to the threads on the Austin group, here's how you do it.

I was sorry to be out of town and miss the first meeting since I joined the group, particularly as I really would have liked to learn more about Search Engine Optimization On that theme, I have a question now I am wondering whether you covered or whether anyone has any insight into. I tried asking on the Drupal forum but no one responded. Perhaps, since SEO is in focus here at Drupal Austin, some people will find it interesting to address this question.

I learned a lot at the Tuesday meeting. Thanks for starting this group.

After the meeting, it occurred to me that the group might benefit from a group development meeting sometime. Or perhaps, a forum exploring how can we helped each other more.

I'm going to do a presentation to the 501 Tech Club next week (Monday, July 16) on Drupal. The 501 Tech Club is a social/networking organization for tech people at non-profit (so-called 501(c)) organizations. This will be a completely introductory (non-developer) presentation. I think what I'm going to do is start with a laptop and the Drupal 5.1 tarball and show them how, in about half an hour, I can setup a complete community site with Drupal.

If you know anybody who might be interested in seeing Drupal work, feel free to pass along the info.
