Agenda
Building Membership Sites with Ubercart
Shaun Dychko, founder of Checkmark Media, will be presenting a recipe for creating a membership site with monthly credit card billing using Ubercart on Drupal 6. Bank and Merchant Account setup will also be covered so that a Canadian merchant can bill monthly in USD using Authorize.net. User experience improvements using the Cart Links module, and a nice facebook marketing trick will also be shown. This presentation will be suitable for site builders and people new to Drupal since Shaun will try not to "speak in code" :) Giancoli Answers, which is a screencast solution manual that Shaun created for a physics textbook, will be the model for this presentation. Shaun will also give some of his first impressions of the new Drupal Commerce module and a brief comparison with Ubercart.
As well as being a Drupal enthusiast, Shaun is also a Vancouver high school physics teacher and avid traveller.
Lightning Talks
Attendees are invited to share their experience by giving a 2 to 4 minute presentation on any topic of interest to the Drupal community. If you want to use a laptop to show a website or control panel please be sure you have the necessary cable to connect to an overhead projector.
Live Streaming
If you can't make it to the meetup, we will be live streaming and recording the event via UStream.
Drupal Q&A
Join us at the pub afterwards and bring your questions on anything related to Drupal from how to do something technical in PHP to what modules are needed to implement a feature you want.
