Primary Topic/Presentation
As many of you may know, there has been a lot of work done recently (over the past year or more) on the Views UI by Acquia, and the work they have done for Drupal Gardens is now merged into the latest development snapshots for Views. And likely will be in a new alpha release by the time we actually hit this meetup.
This post from Earl (merlinofchaos) explains what has happened: http://www.angrydonuts.com/views-for-drupal-7-enters-a-new-era
I'd like to (and hopefully Michelle has some time to get up to speed on the changes as well) talk about this next month, as this IS the future of Drupal views, and it is now a HUGE step closer to becoming a candidate for Drupal core in the future (D8? D9?). This is hopefully going to make a large difference in the complexity some users face with Views for the first time.
I'd like to take this next meetup for say one hour, and discuss/demo/talk about this new views interface (for Drupal 7 of course) and then we can break it up and continue our usual pattern of late, and throw out and discuss any questions that need addressed by the group.
If you have any specific questions for the group, feel free to post them in reply to this thread, that way anyone with experience with the topic can have a little prep time to evaluate potential solutions.
Please make sure to use the "Sign Up" button for this event so that we may continue to know how many users will be in attendance. This is really important as the group grows so we know when we will have to look for a bigger location to hold us all!!
Dinner & Drinks
After each meetup, we depart from the "structured" environment, and continue our discussions over beers and/or food at Pochito's Mexican Restaurant, Murphy's Tap Room, or possibly the Strange Brew. We look forward to seeing you all there!!
