So me, Matthew (mjt), Micah (micahb), and Mark (flakblas) were the only ones that showed up for the SDF DC Meetup, which I think was a pretty good turn out. We had lunch at the National Museum of the American Indian, where the cafeteria is the highlight of the museum. There was also a flying spaghetti monster sighting here. Then we wandered around some art museums looking at rectangles (they sometimes had paint on them) so that we could feel cultured.

Where: Cafe Renee on the mezzanine level of Union Station, in DC.
When: Monday, May 5th, 2008 at 1pm (although some of us may be there by 11am)

Depending on the weather, we'll likely wander around DC and visit a few museums or whatever. Mostly a we'll-decide-when-we-get-there thing.

If you have any questions, post them as a comment to this page. Also, if you intend on coming, post a comment stating that too.

Jennifer (zaylea) will be wearing her big obvious 20th anniversary SDF shirt, and hopefully the others will be wearing SDF swag too.

Ok so I finally set up my motd.org site with drupal. I only had one problem to resolve so it was painless.

I didn't use the motd command to set up drupal because I wanted the latest version. My only problem was I had was a complaint about mbstring settings. Drupal tries to modify these settings in .htaccess but that doesn't work on SDF. This was resolved by adding this to the top of install.php and sites/default/default.settings.php:

ini_set('mbstring.http_input','pass');
ini_set('mbstring.http_output','pass');


Maybe someday when I'm bored I'll actually add this version of drupal to motd's RCS.
