Chattanooga

This Saturday is our first Drupal Camp Chattanooga. Nov 9th 2013.
www.drupalcampchattanooga.com

Tickets are $25, and include lunch and a camp t-shirt. Buy on line now.
Held at Chattanooga State, registration opens at 8.00am

For the beginners track we have a whole days training "Drupal in a Day" included in the ticket price. This is a great way to get up to speed with Drupal and start building websites.
This training normally goes for $250/seat - so it's a bargain.
Bring a laptop.

Lots of other sessions too.
See you there !

$25 a ticket. Add a personal sponsorship of +$20 if you are feeling the community vibe - and want a shout out on the website.
You get lunch and a t-shirt, and get to enjoy the famous Drupal community.

We are running Doug Vann's 'Drupal in a Day' training as our beginners track. Start knowing nothing, leave building websites with Drupal.

The keynote is by Josh Taylor from Acquia on Drupal 8.

Come do Drupal in Gig City (yes - we have gigabit internet here in Chattanooga - have done for years - can't beat $70/month).

The DrupalCamp Chattanooga has been delayed until later in the year.
As soon as I can organize a new venue, a new date will be published - that won't conflict with other local camps.

You can sign up for the mailing list for up to date information as it becomes available at www.drupalcampchattanooga.com

I've been talking about it for years.
This year I will actually do it.
Drupal Camp Chattanooga will happen this spring. (Exact date to be decided April or May most likely)
As Drupal Camp Nashville looks like it won't happen in 2013, lets have a Tennessee camp in Chattanooga at about he usual time for Nashville.

As soon as we set a definitive date, I'll create a g.d.o event.

This months topic:

The Rules Module.
Rules is beginning to gain a lot of traction, and will be almost as big as Views I feel. A good thing to know.
Given by Lee Walker of Code Journeymen (www.codejourneymen.com)

I have had to push back this months meeting by a week, so it's now on the 19th July (instead of the 12th). It also starts at 6.30pm and we need to be out by 8 / 8.30pm

We are also trying out a new location. (it's only about 5 mins further away)

Hayden Place Apartments
298 Acorn Oak Circle

I'm sorry to say I've had to cancel this months meetup.
I was to present on Rules, but my wife is called out of town, and it's a bit late to grab a different speaker.
Also it's Riverbend this week too, which will make the downtown area just heaving with people - those of you who will blow off live music festivals for Drupal .....

We will be back on for July 12th 2012, when I will present Rules.

This months Drupal Users Meetup.

Presented by Lee Walker of Code Journeymen.

Topic this month will be using Mailchimp + Mailchimp Campaigns.
Your clients usually need email lists for different reasons, normally more than 1 list.
They want to make an email of some content they have created on the site.
Mailchimp makes this easy.
See how great Mailchimp is for organizing these email campaigns right inside your Drupal site.
Analytics and everything

Drupal 7, with the mailchimp module, and mailchimp_campaigns.

This months Drupal Users Meetup.

I've had to push this meeting back 1 week due to having to deliver a Drupal site the day following the original scheduled date.
So it's now on the 19th (instead of the usual 2nd Thursday which was the 12th)

This month:
We will be looking at 2 useful modules.

Flag and NodeQueue.

I will also be going over the 960 grid system for CSS for anyone who hasn't used it yet.
