DC Area Drupal Meetup Group

Monthly Drupal Meetup at Stetson's

Dec 15, 2014 · 7:00 PM
Stetson's Famous Bar & Restaurant

Our regular meetup is the second Monday of every month at Stetson's on U St. Join us for a round of lightning talks and plenty of socializing. This is a pretty casual event: everyone is welcome, and by no means do you need to look professional!

We don't have a set schedule, but just so you know what to expect, this is more or less how things tend to go:

Hang out for a bit and meet new people

A few quick lightning talks and any announcements

"Stump the expert" panel, where we discuss "how would I do this in Drupal?"-type questions

Quick introductions of everyone

More hanging out and drinks.

If you're interested in presenting a short lightning talk (5-7 minutes or so), leave a comment here or email Danielle ([masked]). Some ideas of what you could present:

Show off a newly-launched Drupal site

Demo a contrib module that you've released

Give a preview of changes being made in the next version of Drupal core

Share what you learned at a recent Drupalcon or camp

Talk about any Drupal-related topic as it relates to project management, design, development, accessibility, usability, etc.

We hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone for coming out last night and to Brooke for a great presentation. The January meetup is now open for RSVPs as well. Hope to see everyone next month. Have a great (and safe) holiday!

  I would like to present today but am under a deadline so I can't put the presentation together till later this afternoon. Hopefully that's OK :)

  Keenan, that's absolutely fine. Could you just either leave a comment here or message me about the topic that you're presenting on so I can add it to the slides? Thanks!

  Sadly I can't make it as my deliverable has expanded. I'll present this presentation at the next Drupal meetup.

  Keenan - I'd love to hear your thoughts on this stuff. We're doing a lot of work on data visualization at DOT.

  Awesome. I'll be putting a presentation together about this and it should be more stable for the next meetup. It will actually be a contrib module ;)

Here's my presentation from tonight: http://brookeheaton.github.io/openlayers/#/ A zillion thanks to Matt Mendonca for his clutch dongle (you know what I mean) and to Karl for his vertical bravery in scaling the Foosball table. If you have questions about the Open Layers implementation feel free to contact me.

  Also, someone was asking about using the MapBox API rather than Open Layers - MapBox can be used _with_ Open Layers. Here's more: https://www.drupal.org...

Just A reminder to the group, the Stetson's meetup is NEXT Monday 12/15 and not tonight, as is normally scheduled, due to a holiday-related upstairs party room schedule conflict with Stetson's.
