We held our Broward Drupal monthly meetup on Wednesday, September11th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.

In Person (Greater Fort Lauderdale, Broward County Florida):
Ben Groenevelt @dropfoundry, Jorge Barbosa, Ryan Gates and me @hectoriribarne

We started the meetup talking about Drupal basics to our new members: Jorge and Ryan. We talked about installing Drupal via cpanel on shared hosting and also using Aegir (via BOA) on a VPS. This led into my presentation on creating a Drupal site from scratch by importing Taxonomy, Content types, Feed importers and Views from text files (without using the Features module).

After using Aegir to create a Drupal 7.23 site, use drush to download and enable modules (get file at http://browarddrupal.org/PastMeetings/september-2013). This is a non features approach. Below are the modules for importing different types of site structure:

taxonomy_csv
bundle_copy
feeds
feeds_tamper
views_data_export

This approach may not be as uniform as using features, but it does let you target specific types of data.

We had no remote participants via Skype/Join.me and four in the meeting room.
