[DUG-TO] Meetups - Topic suggestions + ?Workgroups?

Thu Mar 19 23:40:34 EDT 2009

Hello everyone,

Here are some things I'd personally like to see covered at a future
meetup...

   - Organic Groups
   - Ecommerce
   - Multisites / Multiple sites

I hope they aren't too noobish t be considered as I realize we have many
advanced members in the group.

Although I have learned something at each of the meetups I've attended, most
of the content has been more advanced than my drupal skillset at any given
time. I think I'm at the 'I suck' stage according to a post Dries made on
his blog some time back ;-)

I have been wondering about the reality/logistics of forming workgroups
around certain aspects/topics of drupal - you know, a bunch of people show
up with a realistic goal in mind and we work collectively to tackle them -
Ideally with someone well versed in the subject on hand. Maybe this happens
outside of the regular meetups and at another location etc.

Who knows? Just thinking out loud.

Eduardo
