Hey gang!
We have a rather unique and interesting opportunity before us.
James Moriarty of www.moriartymedia.com runs a dev shop in town that uses Drupal rather heavily. He is also the chief organizer of a networking gig on 11/22/08 named www.INDYBANG.org [go spend some time on that site and get a feel for what it is :-) ]
He asked me to do a booth at the event to represent Drupal. He also offered free booth space. We discussed it for a while and the best idea I could come up with was to have the Indy Drupal Users Group show up and rock-it-DRUPAL-style!

October 14th Drupal Meeting
Meetings have been moved back to Tuesdays. Please join us on the 14th for
our 1st October meeting. We will be discussing:
-
Drupalindy.com
We have a Drupal 6 install at Drupalindy.com. Come with ideas about how we can take advantage of
this site to increase our knowledge and experience level in working with Drupal. We also need to discuss
our efforts to promote Drupal in Indy and surrounding areas. -
What you would like to cover this meeting.
Please make topic suggestions. What would you like to cover that we have not had time to get to?
Next meeting?
I have been meeting with some of the group members one-on-one lately and have some more scheduled. It's been fun. If you want to meet for early a.m. coffee on the North or East side or for lunch in the broadriplle-esque area drop me a lline.
As for the next group meeting.
How are we doing? Are we providing value? Are we meeting needs? Are we getting the job done?
I'll submit to the group.... When do you want to get together next as a group and what do you want to accomplish?
I'm game, just let me know.

Drupal Hack Fest
At the last meeting I proposed a 6 hr event to take our time and dig slowly into CCK and VIEWS for Drupal6. The reception was entertaining.
Seth had an excellent response. He suggested a "Drupal HackFest." It would be an opportunity for us to show up and be in the same room and work on our individual projects and help each other out.
I loved it!!!
So what do you say?
Let's take a Saturday and meet at our old Broadripple conference room at noon and just start plugging away.
Ben needs a CCK configuration that would satisfy a real estate site. [I can do that]
9/25 Indiana D.U.G. Meeting w/ Josh Brauer, Free Pizza & Books
On Thursday Sept 25th we are honored to have Josh Brauer visit us for our meeting.
Josh is our Sponsor and I believe that nearly all of us possess a Drupal book that his money has paid for! THANKS JOSH!!
Josh also started a new gig this week with www.Acquia.com
TonyV is once again offering his conference room AND buying PIZZA for us all. I'm giving away 2 copies of Pro Drupal Development 2ed.
How best to exploit Josh for all he's worth?
How do we want to take advantage of having Josh with us? Reply to this post and offer your suggestions.
