I better see all of your lovely faces at the next GRupal meetup! We'll
start out by launching Tim's (tjslager) Drupal site, so if you've ever
had technical difficulties figuring out requirements turning the
switch for a Drupal site, you need to be here. Ross (Qwert302) will
then be experimenting with installing Drupal 7 on
grupalers.com. And
if that weren't enough to entice you, we'll be heading to Winchester
