Future Meetups

Yo... cha0s got really drunk and forgot his backpack before having to run to catch trains. If Kyle or Matt or anyone else who was there last tell me if you grabbed it? It's a blue starter backpack and it has my blue notebook inside with 'cha0s' on it. That's what I really want most is my notes from the sessions, I could give a shit about the rest... =P

Last night's meetup was great, Thanks again to Matthew and Kyle for organizing and I.C. Stars for hosting!

I like the energy having quite a few new people (and some we haven't seen for a bit) at the meetup last night. We had some great discussion about what we could do for meetup content.... Not to put any more work on our organizers, but I think we can come up with a standard Agenda that can accommodate all the ideas I heard last night. Here is my attempt:

• Introductions and Agenda additions

The Chicago Drupal community seems to be extremely active. I believe it is time for more frequent events take place. It is obvious that once a month is not sufficient for our group. Here are some ideas I have for future events, please add more.

Code sprints CDMUG members can meet on a day to accomplish a common task. We can meet at a place and code all day until we are pleased with our results.

Should we try for a 20 - 30 person event in January? CDMUG is growing out of onShore and we want to accommodate all people interested in our events. I have been purposely not advertising on drupal.org because we attract too many people for onShore. I want to have smaller events at onShore, but we need to move forward with a larger venue. January or February I believe we should try a new location and advertise for 20 - 30 people. This can be a steppingstone for larger event in the summer that attracts 30 - 50 people.

Anyone have any ideas for November 2007 event? I want to discuss larger CDMUG events coming up in the next few months. Locations, ideas, guest speakers, sponsors, etc ...
