We'll be meeting at the Tech Foundation space on Brattle St. in Harvard
Square. The conference room is equiped with wi-fi and an overhead
projector so you can bring your laptops and we can try some things and
get hands-on. There will be snacks and beverages available. Herer's a
general agenda for the meeting:
1.) Introductions and interests
2.)Administravia - how often to meet, what nights are good, topics for
presentations and/or workshops, etc.
3.) An overview of the BJoomUG website - major components: mojoblog
(JD-WP's successor), SOBI2 Business Directory which I hope to get all
of our deveopers, consultants and other resources listed in, Events
calendar and registration system, and Acajoom mailing list/enewsletter
component. What template I'm using and why I like it. How we can use
the site going forward.
4.) Some example websites - We'll take a look
at some of the websites people have been working on or have built. I'd
like to talk about the templates people have used, whether they are
custom or free templates, what components are featured on the sites,
and what business issues you are focusing on with the sites.
5.)
Template strategies - options for finding free templates and modifying
them and purchasing custom tempaltes. NVU, Dreamweaver plugins, JSAS,
templating systems including the plans for Joomla 1.5 templates.
6.) General networking and refreshments
That's probably more than enough
to get things off the ground...
