Refresh 003 — Lightning Sessions
Durham, NC — Thurs, Jan 24, 2008, 6:30-8:00PM
Starting in 2008, we’ll be using the first monthly meeting of each quarter for “lightning sessions”. Think of this meeting type as a 1.5 hour BarCamp or similar event where members shape the outcome, and the approach toward sharing and discussing is rapid fire. The meeting will consist of 5 predetermined presenters each facilitating a 10 minute lightning session on a predetermined topic. Topics will be a mix of web design, dev, and technology. So for the January meeting, we’re looking for 5 topics and 5 presenters. Please share comments on topic ideas and/or express your willingness to lead a session.
As popular topics become apparent through the comments and presenters attach themselves to topics, finalized presenters and topics will be added here:
1) Twitter for Fun and Profit, Wayne Sutton
2) How’s Haml?, Patrick Reagan
3) Simple Gimp, Joshua Vickery
4) Google Map API Tutorial Primer, Peyton Crump
5) Evaluating Drupal, Julia Kulla-Mader
Location:
Bronto Software, Inc.

MySQL Presentation by Jay Pipes
Jay Pipes from MySQL will be speaking at the next PHP/MySQL group meeting on December 12 in Durham.
Jay is the Community Relations Manager for MySQL North America, but don’t let the title fool you. He’s an engaging and knowledgeable speaker with considerable real world experience building, installing and tuning large scale MySQL installations as well as working with some cutting edge companies and individuals. If you’ve ever had a question about MySQL, now’s your chance to get it answered in detail, up close and personal with an expert.
Jay will cover a number of topics relating to performance tuning and scaling, but the meeting will not be limited to just those topics.
If you’ve never been out to a PHP/MySQL group meeting, Dec 12 should be your first one - we’d love to have you there!
More information can be found at http://www.tripug.org.
Thanks!
