This sounds great, but I don’t normally travel that far (1 hr. for me), let alone into Albany. Sorry if that sounds terrible, but it’s the truth. Are there any more Meetups planned for further north, like Clifton Park or Saratoga Springs?
-
Damon
Hi HollyAnn and welcome! I live in Glens Falls, but currently work 5 days in Saratoga. I hope to have next one in Saratoga. Stay tuned for details.

WP518.org has been updated to 1.1: p2-reloaded theme with child theme mods, new sexy logo, and more to come.

designsimply
Cute! Want to get rid of the extra post titles displaying when there really is no title? It’s a setting in Appearance → Theme Options.

Damon
done.

Howdy When where should we have our next…
designsimply
Howdy!
- When/where should we have our next meetup? Mid-January? Closer to Albany next time or Glens Falls?
- We should install Jetpack on wp518.org for the subscriptions!
- What do you think about setting up a #wp518 irc channel on freenode?
-
Damon
- We might be able to squeeze one in for December if people are interested. I think we should shoot for Albany, but would love to hear what others think?
- Jetpack is new to me, but I’m fine with installing if it doesn’t cost.
- I’m down with IRC. Never used, but love new stuff. Recommended IRC clients are welcome, or one can probably just use Terminal. Will start to brush up on it…
-
designsimply
I’d love a December meetup. We could do a short talk on what’s new in 3.3. Jetpack is free. My favorite IRC client is LimeChat.
-
Damon
Our Jetpack is now fueled, or should I say we’re now fueled by Jetpack ;p

Damon
Holy spam! I broke down and installed Akismet. Anybody out there?
-
designsimply
Akismet is a must.
-
Damon
FYI – I’ve now also installed Bad Behavior to try and discourage SPAM signups. It wasn’t too out of control, but wanted to put a squash on it.

Damon
Ok, November is here and the holidays are going to compound the busy, busy times ahead. Let’s get one more quick meetup in this month. I propose: Uncommon Grounds, Saratoga Springs, on Thursday, November 17th @ 7pm? Who’s in?
-
designsimply
Sounds great! I’m in.
-
designsimply
The November meetup turned out to be lessons in DNS, ssh, and nginx.
- DNS – as in how to setup domain management in multisite
- ssh – fixing keys for MediaTemple ssh access
- nginx – how to restart a crashed server, ahem
We also looked at some of the new features coming up in 3.3 like flyouts, pointers, and the totally awesome new uploader! Drag & Drop FTW.
Love it! Great meetup and I hope we get to see more of you guys next time! Psst, hint @George.
-
Matt
Ahhh, knew this was coming up – had work late anyway though hope it went well!
-
Damon
@designsimply taught little grasshopper the DNS ways. Next time don’t let me starve you, and maybe the next meetup should involve food?
@Matt, hope you can make next one.
-
Damon
BTW – I hope to have a detailed tutorial on setting up WP Multisite with Domain Mapping on MediaTemple DV in coming weeks, but first want to get my configuration stable

The 3.4 release is just around the corner, and the customizer is killer. I can showcase it for anyone interested.

@designsimply, I’d love to learn more about the theme customizer in 3.4. Hope to see you tonight!
