Proposed Drupal MeetUp Jan2012

-- Preferred venue and time is Makati, Waltermart area and a late Saturday morning, Jan. 15, 22, 29 or Feb. 7, around 10am-12nn. --

but Jan 15, 22, 29 in 2012 on my Calendar is Sunday, is that a typo?

BTW, I don't know if I'm missing something but upon clicking the sign up link, the spreadsheet is shown but I can't enter my name there, document seems to be read only, do we need to login to gmail first?

oops double whammy! so sorry

Hi Gary,

+1 for initiating an early meetup this 2012. I vote for co.lab Makati or somewhere public... but not too crowded (I think) like KFC Ayala-MRT station :P

Hi Gary,

There's another Drupal meetup here - > http://groups.drupal.org/node/201068., seems this will be on the same day.

Is merge / join force possible? I think you can also share your topic/concern there within the community.

Thanks.

Sounds good!

ill be honest. i do not like MS :)

I'm gonna move our meet to feb. 4, I'm so grateful people signed up for the 28th. I hope people are still interested.

Gary

Hi Gary,

meetup have different time slot:

meetup 1 (by Gary): 10am - 12nn

meetup 2 (by Rachel): 1 - 5PM

Sa akin ay suggestion lang naman kung pwede :) , so this mean, we can go on with your meetup and still be able to attend the MS meetup.

So ok lang kahit hindi ma move ng sched. :)

oo nga! i thought that was whole day. ok tuloy tayo! ignore the email i sent. will send a new one :D

If these meetups are on the same day then I'll only be able to attend one of them. Doing the whole day is a bit difficult for us married types (with two children under two years old) that don't want to be away from our families the whole day :-)

In any event there is of course only a fifty-fifty chance I will come anyhow. In addition being a committed family man, we have also just signed a lease on a new apartment and I have that added to my already full load of responsibilities.

But I'm still going to put a concerted effort to coming to one of them though. This will be the first meetup that I've known about since I initially found out about this Drupal community here in the Philippines.

Did I just miss a piece of information? Tuloy po ba? If so, what/where/how yung meetup #1 and meetup #2?

Most importantly... are those meetup events getting merged?

My personal bottom-line: I just wish to hang out and chill with the new guys (hey there Tim) over coffee or beer.

tuloy until said otherwise, no merging necessary :)

12 people have signed up for the waltermart one, will find a resto there and make arrangements soon to make sure were all comfortable.

Thanks!

ayos

Just "in case" I have trouble finding you guys on the 28th, could I get the cell phone of one or two of you?

Hi everyone,

I should be coming along and hopefully bringing a few PHP developers along with me to convert them to Drupal developers! I've added my name to the Google doc at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsaUJHR5Pdk8dERnWkE3WmNTLXE...

Is this the correct location?

I'm new in Makati!

Thanks,

hi yes that map is correct.

Any updates on this event?

Tuloy ba sa Waltermart Makati?
http://wikimapia.org/#lat=14.5509727&lon=121.0131544&z=18&l=0&m=b&search...

How many people are attending? Is there a fee? Is this noob friendly?

jhayzhon and androdayao:

• yes tuloy until said otherwise
• I'll go to waltermart tomorrow to reserve a place, i'll update this when i have news. Sorry haven't had time.
• yes noob friendly. There probably be won't be any formal tech issues discussed here. 20 people are coming to meet in 2 hours lang. If ever our goal here is to just get to know each other then pagusapan natin kung paano tayo maka setup ng bagong mas malaking meetup / fest in the future.

later!

thank you for the

Mga kapatid,

Good news. It turns out may seminar area ang Camera Club of the Philippines at the 5th floor of Waltermart Makati, and since may kilala ako dun, binook ko na for 10-12am, Jan28 Saturday. So:

Final Venue - Camera Club Philippines 5th Floor Waltermart Makati. They have a seminar area with tables, chairs and a projector + screen there, just big enough to handle 20 people. WIFI is available on the 5th floor, but bring another option just in case.

Pass The Hat System - May cost tayo na P1.8k for 2 hours rental + projector. Everyone is encouraged to donate as much or as little as you can, kahit P20 ok na (I remember how it feels to be a hungry for knowledge but broke stude). As soon as we make 1.8k we'll stop collecting. I have paid ahead.

Now that we have a room + projector, pwede na tayo mag seminar. Please suggest your own topic, or choose amongst the ff. kung ano gusto niyo ituro / pagusapan:

1. Your sites.
2. The problems you encounter running / developing your sites.
3. Feeds
4. Drush demo
5. Panels
6. Using Feeds to import data sample.
7. Theming
8. Views and CCk
9. Views Theming
10. CCK
11. Node Theming
12. LAMPP Stack
13. Why you use Drupal
14. Your career using Drupal
15. Career options using Drupal
16. What you can do with Drupal (hopefully with sample sites)
17. Hosting (what do you recommend for Drupal, experiences).
18. Varnish, NGinx, caching etc.
19. atbp.

In other words, this is an unstructured FREE FOR ALL event, where we can get to know each other, learn more about others' uses of our fave CMS. We have a venue, tables and chairs plus, all we need to bring is our knowledge and a willingness to share!

BTW can someone bring a portable PA system / karaoke or anything that has a mic and speaker? Otherwise the speaker just has to raise his voice.

comments welcome, thank you!
Gary

Hello, guys. Something came up and I would like to "donate my slot" to someone else next in line. I will not be able to attend both events on Saturday. I hope you all have a good and meaningful meet up. God bless. Thanks.

Can't wait to meet everyone there. See you guys.

Travel tips, if commuting via:

• MRT — drop off Magallanes station, walk towards the jeepney area. All jeeps pass by WalterMart Makati (10-minute ride).
• LRT — drop off Gil Puyat station or Libertad station. Jeeps with route-names "Washington", "Pasong Tamo" or "Ayala" will take you there (20-minute ride).
• By car — find the nearest route going to Pasong Tamo (now called "Chino Roces")

See you guys today. :)

Basically a meet and greet venue for a newbie solo hobbyist. Great to meet people with the same interest and passion.

Kudos to Gary for initiating this informal but fun gathering ... 8-)

Thanks Gary.. looking forward for the next meetup.. hope to see you on February

I have no Idea what this life is all about....

Thanks for the meetup today. Looking forward to February and beyond.
... well, that is if the end of the world doesn't get here first :-)
