Whats an LA Drupal meetup like? Fun & Interesting!

LA Drupal meetups are free and open to anyone interested in Drupal from beginner to guru, but you have to bring a fun attitude and be willing to share or learn.

We have areas for networking, general topics, and more advanced learning and sharing. Presentations and a big breakout session at the end to chat and network.

We like to highlight and encourage folks with cool local projects to present at upcoming meetings. In the past year we've had presenters from Warner Brothers Records; hosting over a hundred artist sites on Drupal, standup2cancer.org - over a million hits in one day during the airing of the show, and local shops such as www.ThisByThem.com, www.openChimp.com, www.chillco.com, www.exaltations.net, www.IJHANA.com, www.WorkHabit.com, www.AchieveInternet.com, and others. Topics have included How to build your first Drupal Module, Using Views 1 & Views 2, Panels module, Drush module, Theming, and Scaling Drupal & Cloud computing among others.

Have a topic you'd like to see? Add it here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/9220

Presentations [list]

  • Build Kick-ass Drupal Sites - Without Coding! - our esteemed co-manager, Mike Stewart (MEDIA DONE RIGHT) will be covering the essentials that everyone building Drupal sites should know. If you are just getting started with Drupal, this is a great treat since Mike will be diving into Drupal setup, tools, processes, and the most important part - where to find help! Join us early for this presentation that can put you on the path to being a Drupal Ninja.
  • BAD Camp 2009 - some locals attended the semi-annual Drupal camp up north. We may get to hear some of the highlights of the camp.
  • DrupalCon San Francisco 2010 - the next official Drupal conference will be in San Francisco, California. Any new details about our popular conference will be shared with us locals. Early tickets are bound to be on sale soon, maybe before our meeting! The conference is set for April 19-21st, 2010. Online info http://drupalconsf2010.org

    Lightning Talks - come prepared to talk for 5 min. about something you'd like to share with the Drupal group. Finished a new Drupal site? Find a cool new module? Keep it succinct - you get stopped at five minutes - but we'll be nice about it.

    Q & A followed by Job Announcements.

    And... In addition to our presentation(s) of the night we have open-mic opportunities for those who have general Drupal questions or need help during our wonderful meeting segment, "Ask the LA Drupal Community." Need to just ask another human a Drupal question? Then this is that chance.

    We have raffle prizes for attendees, and as always, the end of the meeting is our networking session with the fun and knowledgeable LA Drupal crowd.

    Those wishing to make announcements for Drupal jobs/work, please contact Chris Charlton and we can provide time for you to speak to the audience.

    Tags for the night: Post photos on Flickr.com with the tag "ladrupal" and "drupal".
