The Louisiana Drupal User Group held its May meetup on Thursday, May 5, at The Pastime in Baton Rouge. Regulars Brian, Eric, Hank and Jeff welcomed newcomer Wendy Overton from LSU's Continuing Education department. Wendy talked with the group about initiatives she is working on to help build local meetup groups such as ours with the support of LSU and other organizations interested in boosting Louisiana's technology culture.

Hello all. I would like to see if anyone is interested in getting together sometime in early June for our first Long Island Drupal meetup? I have an awesome location in Ronkonkoma that the owner (a client and business partner of mine) has generously offered for us to use.

I would love to meet you all and talk Drupal! Maybe we can even get some of the New York City guys to come out to our gorgeous island and show them how we get down... ;)

Before I setup dates I wanted to see what type of interest exists?

More information about the location can be found here: http://studioe.tv/

So when should we have our first meeting?

I was thinking of the first week in June. Either on the Thursday night or Saturday during the day? Which do people think would have a better turnout?

I was thinking of having it at the Public Library.

What do you think?

Hallo.

We had another good turnout for our April meetup, held at Tracey's in New Orleans (home of the best roast beef po-boys in the city).

Major topics of discussion included DrupalCon, mobile site development, performance tuning and putting the wheels in motion for our group's first Drupalcamp.

Here are few of the links related to performance that were referenced in our discussions:

Hey Everyone,

I am hosting a Drupal Meetup once a month in Bloomington/Normal.

The first meetup is this Tuesday the 26th at 6:30pm.

I plan to have it on the 4th Tuesday of each month as long as that works for most people.

Come one come all!

Thanks again to Keith Williams for his dedication and efforts, and NJIT for hosting our event. We couldn't have pulled it off without TomSherlock and Phunster's hard work!

Thank you to everyone who attended for making it a huge success! We hope you learned a lot, and we'll see you at our meeting next month.

Meeting topic and presenter needed! Agenda and location changes! Poll! More after the fold...

At previous CDMUG meet-ups it has come up that many have been interested in a CiviCRM meet-up. Now there is one!

As CiviCRM is cross-platform (it can also be deployed on Joomla! and soon Wordpress) the meet-up is not specifically Drupal-centric; but there's plenty of goodness to be had for Drupalers.
