Seattle Drupal Dojo (draft)
What's Seattle Drupal Dojo?
Call it a hack night or whatever, Seattle Drupal Dojo is a weekly opportunity to get together with other folks in the local Drupal community. Bring your problems, bring your solutions, bring your laptop.
The word Dojo (道場) captures what we're trying to create -- a place to practice and master one's art. Think of it as a place to become a Drupal blackbelt, a Drupal Ninja.
What to do in a local Dojo?
- Work together on personal projects or troubleshoot Drupal issues
Learning Drupal Chat
