Northeast User Group Leader Summit on May 2 in Cambridge
(The text below was copy/pasted from the event listing at http://neugsummit.eventbrite.com. I'm not one of the organizers -- just passing it on.)
Join us on Saturday, May 2 for a special Northeast community/user group leader summit.
Together we can help each other by sharing our experiences of running a user group.
We will be focusing on the mechanics of running a group, not the technical content, so pretty much anything goes.
Register at http://neugsummit.eventbrite.com (two people max from each group.)
Proposed topics include:
* Building community

Metrowest Drupal Meetup... yes, again
That time you've been waiting for is here again! Come down and join us for drupal and drupal related discussion this Thursday at 7pm at the good old Morse Institute Library, 14 East Central Street, Natick, Massachusetts.
We'll be doing the usual lightning talks, there will be a highlight report from the latest Boston drupal all-star meetup, and probably a fair amount of discussion about DC2009 sessions.

Boston Drupal Meetup - Optaros - December 2, 2008 @ 6:30 pm
Last meeting
We had a terrific turnout at our last meeting. Many people participated in the lightening talks and the resulting conversation was really interesting. Boston builds spectacular Drupal sites. For our next meeting, we'll try out a bigger room in a new location at a new time ...
New venue
Our next meeting will be hosted by John Eckman of Optaros.
10 Milk St Boston
11th Floor
This is the same building as 294 Washington street - across from the Borders book store, wrapped around the Old South Meeting house.

Lightning Talks
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to present for 5 minutes on a topic of their choosing. You may show off your Drupal site, ask some questions of the audience, give a module demonstration, share some marketing ideas for Drupal, and so on. Just keep it brief. No expertise required - just do it.
Dinner
After the meetup, some of us will continue the conversation over dinner at a nearby restaurant. Destination unknown.

Any Interest in a Boston Area Drupal Jam Session?
Great discussions yesterday at the Meetup and dinner afterwards. I talked with a few people about the idea of holding a Drupal Jam Session every so often, like once or twice a month. The idea would be to host a "working meeting", where people come expecting to work on their own projects, but also have time for "lightening talks" where they share any particular challenges they are facing and seek input on how to tackle them.
The goal of these Jam Sessions is two-fold:
1. Get out and socialize with fellow Drupalers, thereby reinforcing the local Drupal community
Great to see everyone at the Boston meetup
It was good to see everyone at the Boston meetup last night. There were some awesome presentations of member's drupal sites + I was impressed with the group dynamic. Everyone was ready to dig in + help with member's questions and ideas. I especially liked this site: http://www.thehvoice.com which uses panels + node queue to a achieve a nice energy.

Hosting ... again ...
I know I have asked this question before, and I got great responses about hosting a drupal site.
I have one site, at one domain, at SiteGround, and though there is no phone support, I haven't had any problems ... yet.
The last thread warned us to stay away from Site5, and so I will.
My brother wants a web-site for his small business, and based on his needs: web-hosting, email, bandwidth, etc.
I wanted to find something that would meet his needs, start small and add services as needed.
There's going to be about 4 domain names just sharing the same drupal instance.
