Berkeley Drupal Group - Feb 26th, Noon - 1:30pm - Upgrading to Drupal 6

Start: 
2009-02-26 12:00 - 13:30 America/Los_Angeles
Event type: 
User group meeting

This month's topic is Upgrading to Drupal 6.
"The drop is always moving" is a Drupal motto. The upside is constant innovation, the downside is that upgrading Drupal to the next version can take care and effort. This month Debrorah Fuzetto will present a case study on upgrading an existing site from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6. Derek Wright (dww) will talk about upgrading drupal.org to Drupal 6. And Gowri will give an overview of internationalization features in Drupal 6, and the virtual sprint to get improvements into Drupal 7.

Berkeley Drupal Group - January 22nd, Noon - 1:30pm - Panels2

Start: 
2009-01-22 12:00 - 13:30 US/Pacific
Organizers: 
Event type: 
User group meeting

Happy New Years Bay Area Drupalers!

Let's get this year started with a look at Panels2 - it is considered by some to be the best hope to bring a user friendly UI to page layout in Drupal, it is the secret sauce in group.drupal.org, it is amazing flexible and expandable, and it can also make you crossed eyed just trying to figure out how to set it up. Straight from the ever fertile brain of Earl Miles, Panels2 might forever change the way you think about Drupal, if you can just figure out what it does :)

Berkeley Drupal Group - December 4th, Noon - 1:30pm - Project Management Systems

Start: 
2008-12-04 12:00 - 13:30 US/Pacific
Event type: 
User group meeting

Update: Looks like we will meet on the first Thursday of December, since the last Thursday in November is Thanksgiving.

Our last BDUG meeting of 2008. It's been quite a year. Drupal 6 is now a solid product, with View & CCK releases, another win as Packets CMS of the year, and commercial support from Acquia. Enough to give everyone a warm glow. But we all still have work to do, and this month Jen Lampton and Chris Bryant will be leading us in a discussion about using Project Management Systems to get that work done.

Chris & Jen say:

At this month's meetup we plan to discuss project management systems. We'll cover what needs/requirements everyone has, review the existing tools & options, and define a rough blueprint of how to build a basic project management system in Drupal.

Let's recover from BADCamp with a discussion of what it takes to build a Wiki in Drupal. It can be done, but can it be done well?

Berkeley Drupal Group - TUESDAY September 30th, Noon - 1:30pm - Open Q&A

Start: 
2008-09-30 12:00 - 13:30 US/Pacific
Organizers: 
Event type: 
User group meeting

BADCamp is right around the corner (sign up over at http://www.badcamp.net). And there was much rejoicing. But since we are asking everyone to put together their best presentations for that, I think we should take it easy at this month's BDUG meeting. Let's have an open Q&A session. Bring your burning question and we will try and answer them, round-table style. For that matter, bring your burning answers as well.

NOTE: September is the one month this year that I wasn't able to get the 4th Thursday of the month. This meeting will be on TUESDAY the 30th.

See you all there,

Event type: 
User group meeting

With so many people in the group working on such a wide variety of projects and different areas of Drupal I thought it would be nice to do some Lightning Talks. Personally I would love to learn more about what everyone in the group is up to with Drupal!

Lightning Talks are short 5-10 minute presentations or discussions (with a short QA afterwards) about a particular topic. If you are able to show a little bit about the project you are involved with or maybe what you are up to in the Drupal community now is your chance. Topics could include:
