Read moreAnyone want to meet up and talk Drupal?
I recently talked with folks from Surface 51 and Pixo who are interested in meeting up in Champaign-Urbana to talk Drupal again.
Would you attend a meetup in CU if it was at a day+time that worked for you? Let me know below.
I've been told we could use space at Pixo or Lodgic Everyday Community. Perhaps we have 1 hour of office hours where we cowork on Drupal stuff, ask for help, etc; followed by 30-45 min session presented on a relevant topic. Have a different idea? Let's discuss.
I'd be happy to organize and present, but I need to know there's interest.

I started a Slack team for this group. You can join at https://slackinvite.me/to/cidug.
If you haven't heard of Slack, it's a freemium team collaboration and chat tool. It closely resembles IRC, but tends to be a little more user friendly and includes a lot of great features. For our local community, a Slack channel will be a place to share and discuss things relevant to our community (in a more immediate way).
