Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, April 2012

Scott's picture

Published by Scott

The first post-DrupalCon meetup in Denver had a great turnout. Many new people, hungry for more Drupal. And pizza. Our pizza vendor kindly threw in an extra pizza to thank us for ordering so much. And the local Drupalistas rose to the challenge and ate it all. We ate it up.

Published by Justin

Forgive us; it's hard to contain the excitement: DrupalCon Denver is less than a week away. That's right -- less than a week until the sessions, the BoFs, the parties, the reconnecting with old friends, the making of new friends, exploring business opportunities, seeing the next big Drupal thing... did we mention the parties? It's going to be great.

To celebrate, we're giving away a Denver-made Never Summer snowboard, and hosting a little soiree in our offices Wednesday night. Interested? Please read on...

A Great Mobile Conference, plus Drupal

Scott's picture

Published by Scott

DrupalCon Denver is a Matryoshka doll. Ostensibly a Drupal conference, hidden inside you'll find several smaller conferences. We call them "tracks," but they really are full conferences. You could show up at DrupalCon, attend only one track, and get more than you get at most single-topic conferences for a fraction of the price. As co-chair for the Mobile track at DrupalCon along with Todd Nienkerk, I've been involved with making sure we have the best possible sessions focused on mobile within the wider conference.

Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, February 2012

This month's Denver meetup started out bleak, lacking food, drink, and one of our presenters. But we persevered and ended the night full of food, drink, and new Drupal knowledge. It was a lot like Oregon Trail. Without the dysentery.

Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, January 2012

Published by Jason

It has to be said that the January Denver Drupal meetup was a far more interesting live television broadcast than the President's State of the Union address. We didn't have nearly as many viewers or inspire a drinking game, but we also did not have any bitter partisan politics characterized by half of the audience applauding random statements while the other half made disapproving facial expressions.

Second Annual Denver Drupal Games

Published by Scott

Our schedule for Denver Drupal meetups puts our November meetup two days before American Thanksgiving, a time when many people are out of town or otherwise unable to attend the meetup. Last year we decided not to cancel the meetup, and instead took advantage of the smaller group to do something a little different in November, and we did the first "Denver Drupal Games", a fun site-building competition.

Denver Drupal Meetup Recap, October 2011

Scott's picture

Published by Scott

October's Denver Drupal meetup was focused on "DevOps," with a presentation by Ned McClain from Applied Trust. Ned had given a similar presentation at the Boulder meetup last month, and kindly agreed to make the trek to Denver for those of us who missed the first one. Ned started by talking about changing approaches to development, quickly explaining the difference between the traditional "waterfall" approach with bigger release cycles, and the "agile" approach with smaller release cycles.

September Denver Drupal Meetup Recap

Published by Jason

September's Denver Drupal meetup was packed, not only with attendees, but also with information as all of the night's presentations were "lightning talks" - 5 minute presentations followed by a maximum of 2 questions. We started the night with the usual round of introductions along with the (mildly horrifying) question of, "What would you use, if you couldn't use Drupal?" The answers covered a broad range of existing open source CMS products, but my favorite response was from Jordan, who said, "I'd stop building sites and go teach hang gliding.... [pause]...
