I went to my first Utah Drupal Tank meeting last night. This was for the area south of Salt Lake and was the first one held at ODIN Development. Because it was the first meeting for this group, the agenda turned into impromptu discussion based on people's current needs with Drupal. We laid out a gameplan for future meetings and what we'd like to get out of them. Some ideas we came up with were:

• Build a Drupal evangelist site: Use as a marketing tool to sell Drupal to superiors and friends (since we know a person can't be both).
• Sponsoring an orphaned/dead module and bringing it back to life
• Implementing a certain module/technology: rich-text editing (TinyMCE vs FCKEditor), memcache
• Case study on Drupal implementations
• Scalability of Drupal
• Favorite contrib modules

For any Drupal users out there in Utah, head over to the Drupal Group and join. http://groups.drupal.org/utah More Tank meetings will be happening in the future. There was a great turnout at this meeting (15+), so don't fear you'll be the only one there.

The next meeting is scheduled for Jan 13. Normally they will be every month, but we're skipping December due to the holidays.
