gathering

This evening, I headed downtown for a planning meeting for the Independent Games Project, an organization forming to provide game development experience for people hoping to break into industry. The guy behind the group, Matt Di Iorio, discussed his plans for how the organization would run, and we all contributed ideas for what would be the first project (or projects) developed by the IGP.

So Rob and I are here at the Drupal User Group meeting, as it is. Only four people, counting Rob and I, actually showed up! But we've seen some really neat stuff, and shared our own.

Rob demonstrated the use of the Views module, and one of the other guys, Rob Milne, showed us his AJAX file manager WebFM. Also present, and discussing his experiences with Drupal, is Mat Korica. I was expecting more people to show up, but the four of us have certainly been having an informative time.

There's a Drupal user group here in Toronto, and I've been interested in attending one of their meetings since finding out about them. Rob and I run quite a few Drupal sites (such as this one), and it'd be good for us to meet with other people who do the same. You know, learn from them, show them our own tricks, etc. Anyway, the Toronto group is apparently meeting tonight over at Linuxcaffe at 6pm. I'm planning to be there, and if I can get ahold of Rob, I'm going to see if I can drag him out, too.
