meeting

Hola chicos!!
Totalmente desaparecida en acción... lamentablemente me agarró un súper mega resfrío, estuve en cama, tos, fiebre, etc, etc. Quedé por [demasiados] días desconectada del mundo exterior, y cuando retomé mi vida, la pila de trabajo atrasado era sobrecogedora.
Estuve tratando de ponerme al día con los posts, aquí y en Drupal :-)
Ya tengo algunas traducciones previstas que planeo postear aquí y también en Drupal.org
Cuando tenga todo más o menos terminado veré cómo lo subo... ví que se trató el tema en un post aquí mismo.

Let's try to get as many people together as we can, and start up a regular meeting. We can all learn new things, share ideas and gain perspective. Any requests for presentation topics?

I am interested in flash integration at the moment. Anyone out there a big flash user?

As far as I know the only UK Drupal meet-up appears to be in London. I've seen a few mentions of Drupal users being based in the midlands and north of the UK but wondered how many would actually be interested in a regular Drupal North meet-up?

Is Manchester central enough for such an event? It could be piggy backed on the existing web developer group meeting in the city centre.

There was record turn out at the January 25th meeting with approximately 30 people vying for chairs in the Bryght office in Gastown. The longest distance traveled award goes to a certain Toronto based "Bryght guy" joining us via webcam.

There were 4 presentations:
- Contec (Drupal + Mobile Phones)
- BPO Canada
- Dale McGladdery on making a scheduling grid with Views
- Steven Wittens with a demo of his new jQuery widgets

servus.at, einer der ersten Streiter für Public Access in den Neunzigern und heute das Backbone der Linzer Kulturszene hat vor kurzem mit TAKEAWAY MEDIA ein Programm zur Förderung der Nutzung von Online Medien gestartet. Erfreulicherweise spielt Drupal darin eine prominente Rolle.

Am 12. 1. findet im Clubraum von servus.at in der Kirchengasse 4 (Stadtwerkstatt Linz) ein "Erste Schritte" Workshop für Drupal statt. Ich habe von Uschi Reiter, der GF von servus.at heute gehört, dass der Termin am 12. bereits ausgebucht ist und daher ein Workshop für Fortgeschrittene am 13. geplant ist.

To go along with Dale's notes about the Vancouver League of Drupalers November 2006 meeting, here's my video of Dale demonstrating Drupal 5 Beta 2:

Apologies in advance for the sketchiness of the notes. Roland couldn't take notes because we stole his laptop for demos, and I was talking too much to capture details!

If I've missed anything please be sure to add it to the comments.
