The first meeting of the Berkeley Drupal Group will meet on Tuesday, April 24th, 7-8:30pm, on the UC Berkeley campus, 290 Hearst Mining Building. (We have the room reserved ongoing on the 4th Tuesday of the month, so please help us spread the word.)
Agenda: This is the first meeting, so it will be mostly about introducing ourselves and the projects we are working on, and finding out what people want to get out of the group. If we have time, we could also do a round of show-your-favorite-module.
Who? This group is open to all: UCB students, UCB staff, and people in the area. In particular, I would love any advice/suggestions on getting the word out to students.
What is Drupal? It is an open source, web content management system. It is a step up in power from blog systems like WordPress or Moveable Type, and a direct competitor to Joomla and Plone. It is currently being used to manage the web sites for campus entities like CITRIS and the iSchool, and probably lots of others I don't know about yet. Worldwide it is used by The Onion, MTV, Amnesty International, and at least tens of thousands of lower profile sites. Lots more info about Drupal at www.drupal.org.
