May Washington, DC Drupal Meetup
Meet Drupal Developers and Users and Talk About Your Latest Projects
Meet Drupal Developers and Users and Talk About Your Latest Projects
The next Drupal Meetup is right around the corner. This coming Monday, May 12, we'll be meeting at Stetson's Bar and Restaurant at 7:00 pm to get together and talk Drupal. We'll be in the room upstairs.
As usual we'll kick off the meeting with several five minute lightening round talks. This is your chance to share your latest project or module with the group. Since this meetup is for people of all levels of Drupal expertise - including experts, newbies, those interested in becoming newbies, and users - we do ask that you focus on the big picture needs and functions and keep out the Drupal jargon.
So far, we have these talks on the schedule.
- Showcase of Green Media Toolshed: A community-powered set of tools for communications experts that allows them to create and customize group workspaces - and control the branding and urls. This is done with new advances made the to context module.
- Announcement of ChinaOSL, a two month long code camp happening this summer in Bejing
If you want to talk, post your topic here or come prepared to take over the floor.

Drupal?
The company I work for now hasn't updated its site in years and will be overhauling it this summer. One of the parameters is that is will be Drupal-based. While I have used Drupal-based sites many times, often without realizing it, I need a bit of a dummies-guide to it as I've never needed to know the nuts and bolts of Drupal. I hope this won't be too elementary for tonight.
Resources
Hi Tony,
It was great to meet you last night. I hoped you enjoyed the meetup and found it helpful. Like we said last night, two great resources to get you up to speed with Drupal are the Pro Drupal Development book, which you can get on Amazon here, and Lullabot trainings. These should help get you going with Drupal. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask us!
Cheers,
Bonnie
