Hey All,
We've got a few talks lined up for our first meetup in July. The format will be similar to the last talk session in April, probably around 15-30 mins each with time for Q+A.
There will an update on the Twitter account and plans for a future drupalbristol website with opportunity for getting involved in an open Drupal 8 sitebuild.
The Talks
We have the following talks:
Git under the hood
Nick Potter
Drush Make
Oliver Davies
Building the WSPA site
Rich Jones
Modifying Solr search pages for a better search experience
Rupert Jabelman
(Thanks guys - feel free to change titles or add further details when you have them),
Other details
We'll have a projector set-up and our biggest meeting room which can accommodate around 30-40 people.
Pizza will be provided by Microserve again for mid-way through the evening (good opportunity to mingle and meet some new faces whilst feeding).
Beer will be provided by Sift Digital.
We'll kick off shortly after 6:30 (slightly later start but should allow cheaper rates for those having to use the NCP carpark) to allow travel time for most who finish work at 5.30 and aim to wrap up before 9 - depending on how many talks and questions we have.
Please do use the signup on this thread, it is important to get a reasonably accurate assessment of numbers.

Are we doing a chip-in for food, or is that being covered?

Still looking for another talker.
Ideally we could do with another talk volunteer, if possible, otherwise you may have to listen to me waffle on about something (if that doesn't provoke a volunteer, nothing will ;))
Also remember to signup if you intend to come, we have a bad record of signing up, making it hard to predict numbers (and harder to find a food sponsor etc.).

If there's any interest in
If there's any interest in it, I could do a slightly-reheated version of the talk I gave earlier in the year at Drupalcon London about how to customise Apache Solr searches.
It was originally called "Apache Solr: Beyond the seach page", but I realised halfway through writing it that that was a pretty terrible title. "Modifying Solr search pages for a better search experience" is more accurate :)
Plus 2 now, so if you are
Plus 2 now, so if you are happy to do it we have a full house :)
Around 20 - 30mins would be ideal but let me know if that doesn't fit.
Cool. I'm pretty sure I can

Better to be a geek than an idiot.
My software never has bugs. It just develops random features . . .

I've already tweeted this to the @drupalbristol account, but in case anyone missed it, here's a blog post I wrote last year about domain access and creating translatable content (particularly for Rich):
