This month's meeting focused on utilizing some of more well-known (and powerful) image modules: imagecache, imagefield, and Lightbox2.

Using a Drupal 5.x site, I (Mike Anello) went through the process of setting up imagecache with various presets (each "preset" is a specific image manipulation - often resizing the image for use as a thumbnail or other size). When an image is uploaded to the server via CCK and Imagefield, imagecache provides the opportunity to display the image using one of the aforementioned "presets".

The Florida Drupal User's Group met this past Saturday - about 17 people were in attendance. The group broke down as follows:

• new to Drupal: 6
• less than 1 year: 7
• more than one year: 4

About a dozen Drupal developers met at Orlando Public Library yesterday to discuss Drupalcon Boston and future meetups in Orlando.

I gave a presentation about Drupalcon Boston covering Dries' keynote, the future of Drupal, and a quick summary of some of the sessions I attended. The rest of the time was spent with discussion introducing ourselves to each other and planning for future meetings and what we need to do to for the Florida group to gain some momentum.
