Metro West

Announcing the next Boston area Drupal training on Monday March 8, 2010, from 9AM to 6PM, to benefit Cambridge Community Television in sunny Central Square, Cambridge, MA. Enrolling in this excellent workshop will not only provide you with a solid foundation in Drupal site building and administration, it will also 100% sponsor the excellent social media programs operated at CCTV.

This workshop will be lead by trainer Sean Effel of Drupaltherapy, so if you've enjoyed those screencasts then this is your chance to spend a day with the same level of high quality instruction in a supportive learning environment.

This intensive all-day workshop will arm new and novice level Drupal users with a schooling in Drupal basics including installation, configuration, core functions, contributed modules, themeing, and a dose of Drupal stunt driving. This is high quality Drupal instruction in a price bracket that individuals, non-profits and small businesses can afford. Here is a sample of the curriculum we will cover.

If you want a one stop kick-start to the Drupal project, this class will give you a solid overview of all the aspects and help set you on course to better understanding of Drupal. These classes book full very quickly, so register early! Deadline to register is March 1, 2010.

If you pay attention to stuff, (and you probably do because you're reading this) you may be thinking "Hey wait, Agaric didn't host a drupal meetup in june!" and you'd be right about that, but now you know why we threw in the extra one back in february (http://groups.drupal.org/node/19220), although you probably knew that was the reason way back then, and were just waiting to see which month it was that we chose to skip...

Well, now you know, and knowing is half the battle

My esteemed colleague of Drupal meetup etiquette fame booked a room in our usual hangout, the Morse Institute Library at 14 East Central Street, downtown Natick by the Common, a block from the MBTA stop.

And then he never posted about it here. Or told his Agaric colleagues either. But the meetup is officially on now!

On the topic agenda:

• Communication in a web collective
• Timeliness in all things
• The measured use of sarcasm in posts

Throughout the years, many awesome things have happened on April 16th. In 1922, Annie Oakley set a record by breaking 100 clay targets in a row. In 1939, the Boston Bruins beat Toronto Maple Leafs to win the Stanley Cup. In 1940, the 1st baseball game was televised. In 1956 the 1st solar powered radios went on sale. In 1972, 2 giants pandas arrived in U.S. from China.

Right now you are probably asking yourself, "Why two Metrowest drupal meetups in one month?" Or maybe you are asking yourself, "Wait, what first meetup?" "Um, the one that was announced two days ahead of time," we confess, using advanced mind control (a soon-to-be-released Drupal module) to interrupt your internal monologue. To which you reply, "Just how much attention do you think anyone pays to you?"

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.

Still can't believe that you missed the first ever Agaric hosted Metrowest drupal meetup? Well don't double your regrets by missing the second... That's right, the second ever metrowest drupal meetup is happening, and soon.

So come down and talk drupal or anything related, or just heckle those who are, on Thursday January 19th @ 6:30PM at Natick's famous Morse Institute Library, Room 1C.

The Morse Institute Library lies just northeast of the town common, nestled deep within the heart of Natick Center. Among all the sites selected as possible drupal meetup locations, this was the one we had our hearts set on. The mist-shrouded Natick Center region provides the Library with a beautiful backdrop painted with a palette of seasonal colours and an abundance of traffic and commuters from the T-stop nearby. It is all of these attributes combined that makes the Morse Institute Library the ideal spot for talking drupal
