What timeframe would work best for a Cincinnati Drupal meet-up?

I'm not offering to organize the entire event but if we want this to happen, lets start making a few decisions!

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking forward to meeting some other drupal developers in town.

May as well get an idea where a good meeting spot is. I'm in Mt. Washington.

... and we don't need to organize much more than:

• when?
  how about Tuesday September 16th.
• where?
  I'd suggest Panera Bread - several locations in Cincinnati, with free wifi.

There is an actual meeting room at the Hyde Park Panera, I will check into the requirements for reserving it.

On second thought, it would be more realistic to plan on this in about 2 weeks - say September 24th?

If you are interested in a meet up, speak up!

Sounds good

The day of September 24th looks pretty good for me. What times are we tossing about? Lunch? Later?

September 24th also sounds great. Let us know if you need anything from us.

September 24 works well for me. What time? Noon?

I have mixed news.

To have exclusive use of the meeting room at the Paxton Rd Panera, they required the purchase of 50ドル in gift cards. They are happy to break this up into multiple cards - ie, 5 10ドル cards is fine.

The meeting room is not available during lunch time - 11am - 2pm. They prefer not to reserve it during dinner time - 5pm - 8pm, but are flexible on this.

The room was already reserved for the evening of the 24th, so I went ahead and got it for Thursday, September 25th from 7pm until close (9pm I believe).

So, the questions are:

• Is Thursday the 25th at 7pm still feasible for people? How many people?
• who wants to step up to buy some of the gift cards? I'll take 25ドル worth - I'll certainly spend it.

I'm thinking about creating a group for this on meetup.com. There are 9 people interested in a CMS group in Cincinnati there, which would be helpful to build up the attendance. But that will cost a little money - 19ドル/month or less. Would that be a waste? Any opinions?

I'm available for either of these dates at that time and will be attending
I'm up for taking on a little of the gift card $ if needed (peace offering to the wife for her to go out...)
:-)

Maybe see how things go before getting into meetup.com stuff

Yea, the 25th at 7 works great for me. I will buy the other 25ドル so lets not worry about that anymore.

I agree with dunkoh - Let's wait on meetup.com.

See you guys on the 25th at 7PM at the Paxton Rd. Panera. I know the full amount is spoken for, but I am also willing to buy a gift card if either of you would prefer to buy less than 25ドル.

I am intrested , and well, i would like to buy less than 25ドル

Week isn't looking great but I'm going to try to make it.

Hi everyone,

I just found out about this today, but can't make it the 25th. But for a future meeting idea, I'm wondering if there is any interest in discussing how to write modules for Drupal? I wrote and published a (very simple) module earlier this year: http://drupal.org/project/user_edit_notify

I was planning to do a presentation on this to the Cincinnati Programmers Guild in the next few months, maybe we could join forces for this topic? The CPG meets at MAX Technical Training in Mason, no gift card purchase required, and they have nice rooms and projectors.

Cheers,
Troy

I am planning on attending... see you there!

davistv: I would be willing to work with you on that. Most of my modules have been for custom sites but go as far as integrating with external search engines, mimicking slideshare.net, and a more lightweight integration with LDAP.

Feel free to email me or start a new topic in this group to discuss.

I completely forgot to create an actual event for the meeting, here it is: http://groups.drupal.org/node/15224

davistv: sorry you can't make this meeting, my apologies for not posting the event sooner. A session on writing modules would be great for next time - whether it's in conjunction with the Programmer's Guild, or maybe you test your presentation on us first ;)

I have no attachment to Panera - it's centrally located, has a meeting room, and free wifi. If we can find something similar without the requirement of purchases, that would be great. Mason is a ways out, but we'll get a better idea of where people are coming from on Thursday - maybe Mason makes sense.

I need to be at an event near the airport on Thursday, but I hope to be able to make it to this meeting by 7pm. I'm happy to buy a 10ドル gift card.

I like the idea of collaborating with Chris on this topic, I sent him a message to discuss further.

cjdavis: No need to meet at MAX if that doesn't jive with the attendees' geographical distribution. But I'd love get the guild involved, it's a nice overlap with their programming education objectives.

Looking forward to hearing how the 25th works out!

Cheers,
Troy

My love for Drupal and french onion soup in a bread bowl won't let me miss this evenings meeting.
