Bar Camp Dallas III is happening in just a few short weeks. Bar Camps are notorious for the high percentage of attendees who use Drupal, so everybody on the list should plan to be there.

What's a Bar Camp? It's an "unconference" where the organizers provide a venue with meeting rooms, whiteboards, overhead projectors and a big, blank schedule wall. Attendees show up in the morning and work out a schedule. The topics tend to center around Web 2.0, but the exact agenda depends on who shows up that morning. You can find out more at:

To my dear New York City, Drupalistas and soon to be Druaplistas,

We are two weeks away from DrupalCamp NYC 2, 20 & 21 Jan. A few of us have been thinking what if we concentrated our efforts on a single project instead of working solely on individual projects? I'm not talking about a classroom setting, but a project (ie install profile, module stuff and theme) to educate each other?

Well here is your opportunity to change the future of one lucky group. Big or small, non-profit or community organization... If you know of a project that can use the assistance of a Drupal site, we need you to nominate them. The lucky organization will also get one year of CivicSpace on Demand (hosted and managed install of Drupal 4.7 and CiviCRM + EMAIL)!

Note: Video is compressing, will be up later tonight.

I'm back on to teach another Dojo Lesson this Sunday at 11am PST (2PM EST, 4PM Buenos Ares, 8PM Belgium/Hungary). Topic is TBA, but see the great wiki page Matt Koglin pulled together and let's start a comment thread on it.

I'm open to doing a more high-level beginner-friendly session after last week's dive into NodeAPI. I'm also open to doing a practical "how do I make a site do xyz" type lesson. Once it's decided I'll edit this event node to include the topic and we can collect pre-reading, etc, as per usual.

Join us in #drupal-dojo on IRC, and on skype #+99001110025448968. You can also see my screen here.

Two other points to note:

• Greggles has stepped up in the IRC room to lead a session on how to use CVS to manage an official Drupal project. Awesome! He will be leading Lesson #5 on Sunday the 27th. [edit: see and edit the lesson plan wiki]
• SamTressler has offered to set up a session at Drupal Camp NYC where the Dojo lesson will be projected and people can take part; an exciting real/virtual world crossover!

The Québec Free Software Week (called "SQIL", for Semaine québécoise de l'informatique libre) is actually 9 days of activities promoting free software. Everyone is invited to organize an activity, be it a meeting, demo, installfest or software launch.

It's been approved for the LA Drupal Group to use the A205 computer Lab from 6-9pm on Tuesdays for the Month of May @

It's that time again ladies and gents.. The June Sacramento/Davis DUG will be this Thursday at River City Brewing Company.

We'll be there at 6:30 PM. Hope to see everyone!

The agenda for this next meeting is a continuation of a previous meeting agenda:

A hands on workshop for building Drupal -powered sites.

Location: 5 Seasons restaurant in Alpharetta, GA. Located on Old Milton Pkway about 1 mile east of hwy 400 (exit 10).

Recent meetings have focused on a hands on approach to teach Drupal to new learners, and assist intermediate learners advance their Drupal knowledge. These have been smaller meetings with around 10 attendees. We'd like to grow this number and diversify our attendee base.

Please feel free to attend.
