DrupalCampWisconsin — Saturday, January 19th, 2008 — 10AM-10PM (Registration starts at 9AM)
DrupalCampWisconsin is a 1-day event focused on the use of Drupal. Don't know what Drupal is? Here's what Drupal.org says: “Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations have used Drupal to power scores of different web sites.”
DrupalCampWisconsin will be much like a BarCamp event: It will be free for attendees, and we encourage everyone to participate. We do want to cover various topics from the basic to the advanced, so there may not be a completely open schedule grid like many BarCamps use, but we definitely want time for anyone to lead a session.
Is DrupalCampWisconsin for you? If you've never heard of or used Drupal, you'll want to at least get familiar with it before the event. If you're already using it, consider helping us organize, and volunteering to lead a session on a topic you know about.
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to the wiki page: http://barcamp.org/DrupalCampWI

February 2008 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, February 21st, 2008 — 7pm
Topics so far: F1 Website Challenge, BarCampMadison2, MilwaukeeDevHouse, Bucketworks...
Update: Join us for Dinner at 6PM at the Chipotle on Ogden Ave.
The F1 Website Challenge is coming up, and Web414 is one of the teams! Let's do some pre-planning for the team so they are ready to hit the ground running. I've also heard mention of a similar challenge here in Milwaukee to help non-profits get up-to-speed on the web. Can we start planning this?
Other topics... BarCampMadison2 is (hopefully) right around the corner, and we'll have a MilwaukeeDevHouse before that (Don't know what a "DevHouse" is? See SuperHappyDevHouse for more info.) And Bucketworks? Well, this is the first official Web414 Meeting there, they've really improved the place, and it might be of interest to Web414 members.

One more thing... We'd appreciate if you use the signup here (you must be logged in) even if you signed-up on Upcoming or Facebook, just so we get a good idea of how many people plan to attend.

March 2008 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, March 20th, 2008 — 7pm
Topics: F1 Web Site Challenge, SXSW, MilwaukeeDevHouse1, and two presentations!
Team Web414 will give us a recap of their adventures at the F1 Website Challenge (and yes, we plan to do one of these in Milwaukee) and then Ashe, Mike, and David will fill us in on their SXSW experience, and we'll also talk about what happened at MilwaukeeDevHouse1 (and maybe MilwaukeeDevHouse2.)
We also have presentations from Tracy on Adobe Photoshop & Bridge and from Chris on web-enabled Linux-based display systems.
People seemed to like Bucketworks (maybe too much, as a number of us stuck around an extra 45 minutes) so we'll meet there again.
Dinner: Chipotle, as usual?
