Drupal in a Day Course
Are you curious about Drupal? Wondering how it can be used, and what you or your team could do with it? Drupal in a Day is an overview of the fundamental concepts of Drupal. It would be good as a foundation for potential site builders and an overview for decision makers who want to look under the hood.
Course details:
DrupalCon North America being scheduled for 2012 (and beyond).
The DrupalCon North American Regional Organizing Group is looking for input from us, the Drupal community, to help pick the location for DrupalCon North America being scheduled for 2012 (and beyond).
They have put together a brief “straw poll” intended to gauge community interest about various cities that have been suggested as potential good locations.

Opinions regarding the first meetup
Did you enjoy it?
What do you expect from the group (seriously)?
In my opinion I would like to see more going on, maybe workshops, people demonstrating their projects, etc. It will be nice to get a classroom somewhere.
Revive the Edmonton Drupal group!
Wow! It has been a long time since anyone has posted anything here in the Edmonton groups. As my business is now getting more into website design, I thought perhaps I better get into the community more, and find some local people that work with Drupal and can do some networking.
I administer my clients sites quite nicely, but an in no way a designer or a coder! I would love to find someone local who can do both of those nicely.
