At our next Surrey Drupal meetup Rick Vugteveen (VP of Technology, ImageX Media) will give an overview of what's new in Drupal 7. Beyond giving a demonstration, there will also be discussion regarding how best to build sites today that are ready for the eventual transition.

Please RSVP if you'd like to join us.

NOTE: There's no cost for this event, however it would be great if you can come prepared to order something (some of us order dinner, some just drinks) along with a 15% gratuity as we really want to keep up a good relationship with ABC as they've been great in allowing us to book their conference room.

Bring your laptops and your Drupal projects. We are going to meet at Boston Pizza at Central City Mall for a co-work event. You can work on individual projects and chit chat or have small group tutorial sessions on Drupal theming, for example.
As Dale wrote, "You are welcome to come with your laptops, problems, questions and skills (everyone is a learner and a teacher)"

Coworking is the social gathering of a group of people, who work independently, but who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with talented people in the same space. (from Wikipedia.org).

This event has been organized by our very own Katy.

NOTE - DATE CHANGED FOR THIS MONTH:

Ryan Dempsey will be covering image handling in Drupal. New Drupal users are often frustrated by the fact that there is no image handling included by default in Drupal core. Searching the module repository only adds to the confusion as there are so many different options to choose from with regards to image handling. We'll look at a few popular recipes to get images onto your Drupal website. This talk is geared to those that are fairly new to Drupal, though it would help to have a very basic understanding of CCK and Views. Experienced Drupalists are also welcome as we would love to hear alternative methods and site recipes.

Please RSVP if you'd like to join us.

Doug Gough of ImageX Media will be teaching us the basics of creating a Drupal module. Use some of the most common Drupal API hooks, such as hook_user, hook_nodeapi, and form_alter to create a basic module that reacts to changes to user information. Create a theme function to style the output of the module.

Please RSVP if you'd like to join us.

Hello everyone,

Our next meetup in on February 12th at the ABC on Fraser Hwy in Surrey. This month we'll be having a guest speaker coming in. Audrey Foo from Raincity Studios will be coming to share about a talk entitled "Navigate the path to drupal contribution, using the issue queue, patches and cvs". Basically she's going to cover how to make the jump from user to contributor (the options as a contributor range from documentation to adding modules and more).

Learn to use cvs as either an anonymous user or as a maintainer of a module or theme. Maintaining drupal codebases can become easier with the use of cvs. Please RSVP if you'd like to join us.
