Drupal Hyderabad workshop Feedback and success party

Saturday, 15th May 2010, we had a drupal hyderabad group meetup and discussed the following points.

1. Feedback on the Drupal workshop which has been conducted earlier in this month at VNR VJIET college in Bachupally, Hyderabad. 
2. Road map for Drupal Hyderabad portal

Regarding workshop, there are many +ve feedbacks received from students of different colleges. There are proposals from students asking to conduct workshops in their respective colleges. It is really a good sign. We have also discussed about the overall process of organizing the workshop and identified few of the important points that need to be addressed in the next workshop.

• Pre-requisites to attend the workshop has to be mentioned clearly on the website.
• Students of the college where the next workshop will be conducted has to ensure beforehand that all systems have required softwares to run drupal smoothly. During the workshop, only drupal installation will be shown.
• A micriphone has to be arranged during the sessions so that speakers don't need to shout :)
• Venue address along with directions from 2-3 main points has to be clearly mentioned on the site.
• Speaker has to submit their sessions (pdf material) before a week and session timings need to be followed as per the schedule.

After the discussion on workshop feedbacks, the next point in our agenda is the road map for drupalhyderabad.com site. Presently the information we have on the site is more related to the workshops. So we have decided that we will make the existing site a subdomain of drupalhyderabad.com and will have all information related to workshops available there.

Drupalhyderabad.com will contain the following information.

• Aggregation of drupal posts from drupal.org and groups.drupal.org
• Aggregation of blogs from members of drupalhyderabad
• Events
• Meetups Information
• Case studies
• Voices
• About the Group
• drupal-hyderabad irc channel embedded on the website
• Team page
• Photo gallery

After the discussion, we all went to Paradise and had a lunch together to celebrate the success of the workshop. Below is the image taken from my mobile. People Attended are
