Video: Central Arkansas Refresh 3

We had our third Central Arkansas Refresh Meetup last night at The Flying Saucer in Little Rock and it was awesome!  Darren Huckey from MonstorGraphix spoke on Drupal CMS Framework and did an excellent job despite the fact we didn’t hold up to our end of the deal on the projector.  Hopefully we will be a little better prepared this next go around.

Brant Collins from StationX also spoke about InnovateArkansas and all of the good work they are doing for startups in the state.  I haven’t spoken to anyone who got an accurate headcount for those in attendance but I know that we ran out of swag shirts and dvd’s a lot sooner than I had expected. Will definitely do a better job next go around.

It’s great to see that this group is taking off, and just as we had hoped it would do, it’s bringing together some of the top web people from within the Central Arkansas area to network, collaborate, and share ideas.  Our next session should just be a continuation of what we have going right now.  We are going to be announcing speakers soon, we are likely going to discuss monetization, wordpress, and possibly touch on a little subversion-ing.

If you are involved with the web and live in Central Arkansas, it doesn’t matter if you are a part time hacker enthusiast or do it for a living you should definitely join our Facebook Group, here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48929112127

We meet on the last Tuesday of each month and the meeting announcements are sent out via Facebook and Twitter.  You can follow the Central Arkansas Refresh Group on Twitter, @refreshca and we utilize the #refreshca hashtag.

Here’s a funny video slideshow from our meetup, keep in mind that I am a webguy and yes, I ripped off the audio track, sorry about the quality…
