Hey everyone,
Just a reminder that today's user group meeting at 6:00 pm is very special... in more ways than one. If you haven't been to a user group meeting in awhile, this is one you definitely don't want to miss!
For this meeting, we've got a special topic, special format, special location, and even special food and drink on hand. Did I mention it was special? ;-)
A few things to note:
1. SPECIAL TOPIC: This meeting is meant to get you up to speed fast on essential Drupal skills. For the main event, we'll have Bill Fitzgerald (bonobo) from FunnyMonkey presenting on how to review code. We'll also welcome out-of-town guest Alan Palazollo (zzolo) who will expand on code review skills, explaining how to release code on Drupal.org. You'll also learn how to get involved with Drupal documentation, too.
2. SPECIAL FORMAT: After initial presentations, we'll break up into smaller groups for hands-on code review sessions where you will actually review real, live code! So you'll want to plan on staying longer than our normal meeting end time as we work into the night. We'll even be approving full project applications on Drupal.org, so whether you are a newbie or more experienced, this is a great opportunity to learn from other Drupal developers.
3. SPECIAL LOCATION: To help facilitate the smaller code review workgroups, we've got a special location for this user group meeting. The meeting will be held at the brand new offices of Tigerlogic. It's a beautiful 7,500 square foot space in Goose Hollow with super-high ceilings, exposed brick walls, huge windows, cool couches, and long tables for smaller groups. The space is located a couple of blocks from the PGE Park max station. Here's the address information:
Tigerlogic
1532 SW Morrison St., 2nd Floor
Portland, OR 97205
Note: It's a three-story red brick building located at 16th and SW Morrison, next to the Scottish Rites of Freemasonry. After entering, come on up to the 2nd floor.
4. SPECIAL FOOD/DRINK: Rumor has it that for those staying on for our smaller code review sessions, we'll even have some fun food and drink on hand! :-)
So I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at 6:00 pm tonight!
Cheers,
Ben
