Drupal Code Sprint Day in Sydney
PreviousNext will host a Drupal Sprint Day on March 9, 2013 in the PreviousNext studios in Ultimo, Sydney.
Read moreWhat are your ideas on the current meetup structure?
Not sure about everyone else, but that DrupalCon made me think of how much great Drupal talent we have in Australia. And it also made me think about the Drupal meetups.
From various discussions, and also based upon my own impressions, I don't think that the current Sydney meetups are ideal. Ryan has been tireless in his efforts running the group, and I think everyone acknowledges how much work he has put into it.
But I feel that the management of the meetings needs to be distributed more broadly across the Sydney community, spreading the management and organising duties more evenly.
