  This Monday sees the first of our 'Learning Drupal' meetups where we focus on uses and users of Drupal as opposed to site developers. With 1,600 people about to attend DrupalCon London in a week's time, this week we will be discussing the topic of "Why use Drupal?", a.k.a. Do more than just blog!
