Our local Tampa group is participating in the Drupal Global Training Days this month (tomorrow). There will be a full day of training offered. The training will take place in two parts:

The August Tampa Bay Drupal Meetup will take place this coming Thursday, 08/01 from 6:00-7:30pm.

This month Scott will be talking with us about practical tips/tricks/modules that can help out on your Drupal projects. Possible discussion points: views bulk operations (vbo), rules, git, multisite, devops, and/or features.

Additionally, being the first meetup that I'll have attended since I went to DrupalCon Portland, I'll try my best to give a recap of some interesting things I saw/learned there if no one has touched on that yet.

Even though this is not Drupal-specific, there is already a co-working day planned for this Friday at Tampa Bay Wave. It's just an open, free-for-all co-working event. However, if some Drupalistas show up, we can still talk Drupal and help one another. This is the same spot we met at in January for our coworking event.

Here are the details for this Friday if anyone is interested in attending, please RSVP though meetup.com:

The 13th meetup for the Tampa Bay Drupal Users Group is next Thursday, September 8th @ 6pm. The meeting would normally happen on the first Thursday of the month (today), but we needed to reschedule this particular meeting. Sorry for the late notice of the changed schedule this month!

This go around Adam will be presenting information regarded to cloud storage and Drupal, specifically on hosting images on a cloud service (like Amazon s3).

The 8th meetup for the Tampa Bay Drupal users group is next Thursday, April 7th @ 6pm.

For this next meetup, we had planned on having a presentation on the Views module, which was to be given by myself. A week or so ago ultimike put out a call for the local Florida Drupal groups to help wrap up the "Coding for a Cause" event that was started at the last FL DrupalCamp. Some of the Tampa group members decided we'd like to help with that, so we've volunteered our collective resources to help out during our next meetup.

The fifth Tampa Bay Drupal meetup is coming up on January 6th.

The fourth Tampa Bay Drupal meetup is coming up on December 2nd. Sorry for the delayed event entry on the site.

Last meetup, we went over some very common and useful modules (notes here). This month Adam is scheduled to go over the basics of setting up Drupal themes. I believe he'll mention some good starter themes to build off of, and other tips/tricks related to theming.

Tampa Bay-area Drupalists will be holding a meetup on Wednesday, September 1, at 7pm at the Panera Bread on South Howard Avenue in Tampa.
