Hacking, Grant Money, and Drupal: Come Out For Tech Events This Week
It was a busy weekend for many of us here in Washington, DC, what with the debate watching parties, updates on the financial meltdown and bail out plan, and then finally the celebration when the Redskins beat the Cowboys. After all that, I’m excited to dive back into technology this week with a few interesting meetups. Here’s a look at how we’ll be spending our evenings (and one morning) this week. For a full listing of what’s happening in DC, check out DC Tech Events. *Tuesday, September 30*8:30 am – noonInnovative Advocacy: Intelligence, Media Monitoring, and Tracking the Buzz: This workshop will talk about what tools are out there to help you listen in to all the chatter happening online, and then figure out what to make of it. 7:00 – 9:00 pm

After Drupalcon: Nonprofit, Intranet, and News Happy Hours
If You're In Boston, Join us at Lucky's Lounge for Happy Hour Tonight
Three exciting happy hours are happening all in one place tonight, so if you're interested in Drupal and Nonprofits, Intranets, or News, swing by Lucky's Lounge tonight to meet others working in these areas and unwind after the first day of Drupalcon with a few drinks. Come on, it's only three blocks away from the Convention Center. Map.
When you leave the Convention Center, make a left on Summer Street, walk two blocks and make a right on A street. Lucky's is right at the intersection of A and Congress. Be sure to get there early - the first couple of rounds will be picked up and food will be available to order.
Here's the line up:
- Drupal and Nonprofits, 6:00 pm
- Intranets, 6:00 pm
- News, 7:45 pm
We're hosting the Drupal and Nonprofits events, along with Gregory Heller, and want to bring people together who develop and use Drupal at nonprofit organizations. It will be great to share stories, experiences, and needs with others working with - or at - nonprofits. The Intranets event will definitely be eye opening as people building intranets and portals with Drupal come together to show off what they're doing.
After these wrap up the News happy hour will kick off at 7:45, organized by Ken Rickard, Michael Meyers, and Gary Kebbel. This sounds like a great chance for developers working on news platforms to meet people in the news industry.
Hope you can make it!
