Hey Everybody!

Forgive me if I posted this incorrectly...it is my first event post on Drupal.org

I am very excited to invite everyone to the Fitness/Social events coming up on July 13-16th before-during-and after Drupal Camp Asheville!

The 2015 Charlotte Drupal Drive-in is less than 2 weeks away with only a few spots lefts for registration. Grab yours today at http://CharlotteDrupalDrive.in

Feel like presenting at the event? The Drive-in his is an unconference style day. So sessions are proposed and decided on the day of the event. Whether you have a more ad-hoc demo of something you've worked on that you would like to share, or a formal presentation. You are welcome to propose your Drupal or general web development topic for a session.

See you there!

Mark your calendars for February 21st when we will host the Charlotte Drupal Drive-in.

The Drive-in will be an un-conference-style, day-long event, where the subject matter will be chosen by the attendees. Talks will be geared towards Drupal and related web technologies. Whether you want to discuss thoughts and ideas with others, have an impromptu talk you would like to give, or a slide-deck presentation, you will be given the chance to pitch your idea(s). Once the pitches are made, every attendee will get to vote on the ones they found interesting. This setup makes the event informal, the schedule fluid, and the topics dynamic.

If you are interested in Drupal and keen on spending a day chatting with, and learning from, other like-minded folks, be sure to make it out to the Charlotte Drupal Drive-In.

Hello all,

Reminder that Drupal Meetup will be Monday, June 9, 6:00 pm, at IT-oLogy in Columbia. Several of us made it to Drupalcon in Austin and we have lots to report. 
Also, I've posted the results of the DrupalcampSC Survey. My overall takeaway is that despite a few glitches, it was a valuable event and we should do it again! http://www.broadstreetconsulting.net/blog/drupalcamp-south-carolina-survey-results
See you Monday!

Thanks,

Tom

Our normally-scheduled January meet-up landed squarely on New Years Day, so we cancelled it back in December—but February's meet-up was hopping! Eighteen Drupalers attended. After some pizza and chit-chat we got to talking about upcoming events in the local community, particularly the Charlotte Drupal Drive-In and DrupalCamp Florida. We managed to secure a Drupal Association Community Cultivation Grant for the Drive-In, thanks to Shrop's legwork. The funds from the grant will go toward lunch for the event.

Please join us for discussion of Drupal and some preliminary planning for the upcoming Drupalcamp SC. Please join the Meetup group for more regular communications. http://www.meetup.com/SC-Drupal-Users-Group/

Drupalcamp SC will be held Friday and Saturday April 18-19 at IT-Ology in Columbia, SC. If you are interested in helping us make this happen, please leave a comment here and I will make sure you are involved.

Please spread the word to your friends and colleagues.

Tentative plan is for a DrupalCamp all day Saturday, and we will reserve Friday for training (possibly paid training).

Thanks,

Tom S

Drupal Module Roundup

Or "50 (-ish) Ways to Use Some Modules"

November's meetup found us making good on an idea that came up when several charDUGgers got together on a Friday in order to make some music. The idea was to get some Drupal developers talking about the modules they use on a pretty regular basis. Pretty much everybody that came found out about at least one module they had never heard of before that did something they found interesting.

This month's meetup was a good one, Dave Ingram led a such a good discussion on the Drupal Commerce module that I had a difficult time remembering to take notes. Unfortunately, what follows is just the highlight reel:

Introductions

Mark Shropshire

• Changes to LunchCamp
  • Once a month format seems to be working out
  • Everyone seems to like the new location
• Changes to RoundTable
  • Keeping presentations at about an hour in length
  • Time for Q&A afterward
  • Post-meetup beers are a success
• Changes to Tech Co-Working

I'm going to the Atlanta Drupalcamp this weekend. Anyone else?

We had another successful meetup this month, with thirteen members on-site and two more via Google Hangout. The meeting kicked off with two MASSIVE pizzas and some good conversation, before Shrop took the dais. At the September meetup, Shrop outlined some changes that were in the pipe for a few of our meetings, and at this month's, he covered how well those changes fared. Changing the LunchCamp to a once-a-month schedule and relocating it to The Saloon at the NC Music Factory showed some real promise. We are hoping for some better attendance at the next one!

Thomas Lattimore and Mark Shropshire will talk through various methods of managing Drupal configuration data with Features, hook_update_N, and git. They will dig into deploying these configurations between dev, testing, staging, and live environments. Finally, they will discuss the CMI (Configuration Management Initiative) for Drupal 8 and how these changes will allow you to be the Drupal boss you have always wanted to be!

Bring 5ドル for pizza at 6:30, presentation starts at 7.
