Everyone's welcome to the first Joomla! Austin Meetup. Come on out from 6 to 8 pm and Let's talk about Joomla and drink some beer at The Ginger man. This will be our first Meetup, so it's going to be informal and fun.

There will be door prizes courtesy of Joomla Praise , so bring your business cards, come early and stay late.

We'll be talking about everything Joomla. See you there!!

    • “ Thanks Darren! Off to a great start w/ the Joomla meetup.. ”

      “ Lots of people wandering. Did find some good advice for some small items, loosely organized. Lots of people were not sure what to expect. Most were there to get help, advice, etc. Few were there to relax and enjoy the afternoon. There were the chosen few that were there to give as much helpful advice as they could, but they were outnumbered. They did give LOTS of helpful information and were very polite, patient and lots of links were given. I do praise the first attempt and would attend another one. Not sure how to make it better. Just letting you know what I saw. Thank you for inviting me. ”

      “ The loose format worked fine for me. I got to meet some people--it IS called a Meetup--and get some great ideas for my project. I know, nametags might be hokie, but it might help us put faces with names from the site. 7PM might be a better time, maybe even 6:30. Thank you for the effort that went into putting it together and to those that freely dispensed information. Absolutely worth the drive from New Braunfels. I anticipate going to many more. ”
    • “ What a great turnout. Everyone was so enthusiastic and you could really tell that we all shared a common interest in Joomla. I think this first meetup is just a prelude to bigger and better events. I hope to hear everyone's feedback, and i look forward to seeing everyone again at the next meetup. ”
