CDMUG Update Fall 2009
Dear CDMUG,
How are things? Everyone still loving the #1 open source CMS?
I am writing everyone to announce the CDMUG summer vacation will be over shortly. I apologize for the gap in events from month to month, but I wouldn't feel too bad. I spoke with many other organizers in countries from all over the world at Drupalcon Paris. They are lucky enough to get more than 15 people to meet every few months. This proves that Chicago is one of the largest Drupal communities in the world. Great work everyone, it is because of you that we have this wonderful group.

Drupal Programmer and Core Team Member | by Swarm
My name is Mike Bohlmann, and I would like to build a core team of three to five people to form the company that enables the environment for the untapped creative minds of the Swarm to produce something new. While the first project for the Swarm will be to create a role-playing game setting, I hope to learn enough from the Swarm and this development model that the Swarm could get involved in other creative endeavors, most likely still in the non-electronic gaming field. As a member of the core team, you would be both microinvestor and part of the company.

Anyone can schedule a meetup via the "Create Event" option on this site.
Tony at Promethius is available for contact if some one wishes to contact him to schedule a meetup
Kevin Finney is available to schedule the Mid West Internet building in broadripple where we have our hackfests.
