Founded in December 1994, we have hosted a plethora of monthly meetings with talk topics ranging from "How to Configure PPP" to "How to Write Device Drivers". We usually have around 40 - 100 people at each meeting.
The ALE group is loosely organized, with a few people acting as contact points and no charter to bog things down. Anyone is welcome to come to the meetings; there is no membership, fees or any other formalities. To become a member, just show up. Our primary interest is in getting information about Linux to members of the Atlanta community.
ALE has three monthly meetings to accomodate the growing Linux Enthusiast population of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Central meeting is held at Emory University on the second Thursday of the month. The ALE NorthEast meeting is held at Edeltacom Data Center on the first Thursday of the month. The ALE NorthWest meets the third Thursday at the Weather Channel. Directions are on the left sidebar.
Our ALE Central Meeding presentation for
Thursday, July 12th, 7:30pm will be:
“Fun with Drupal 5:
Beyond Content Management”
Presented by Elmer Masters
Synopsis:
In the context of the current projects I’m working on, I’ll
talk about setting up Drupal multisites, sharing database
tables between sites, using external authentication, managing
content and users, customizing content-types, building
modules, and a bit of theming, time permitting.
Generally, I’ll expose that Drupal is not merely a content
management system, but functions well as a complete web
development framework and platform.
Bio:
By day Elmer Masters is the Director of Internet
Development for the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal
Instruction ( CALI, http://www.cali.org ) where
he is currently heading up a one-man project to move all of
CALI’s web resources to Drupal.
By night, he is also an admin of the Teknoids mailing list
and website ( http://www.teknoids.net ) and
occasionally blogs at http://www.content4.symphora.com/.
