This next meeting will be in a new format, where we work in small groups on individual projects of interest. Many have expressed interest in having a hands-on meeting where we actually play around with Drupal.

If you are new to Drupal, this is the meeting where you can get some hands-on assistance.

If you are experienced with Drupal, this is the meeting where you can team with other experienced Drupal hacks to experiment.

There should be something of interest for all!

Lets celebrate an awesome DrupalCon by sharing the great things we all learned about the future of Drupal with everyone in DC that could not make it!  Join us Tuesday the 18th from 7:00 until 9:00 pm-ish at Be Bar (1318 9th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 p (202) 232-7450). With free wifi and a big screen tv we can plug into it will be great for lightening talks, and it's right by the Convention Center so it will be easy to get to for the after work crowd.

Whether you are an active Drupal developer, a new to Drupal developer, or a non-technical person interested in using Drupal sites or just learning more, come on out because we'll be telling great stories. As usual, the first round is on Development Seed.  

Here is the line up so far:

Data Mashups: RDF and SparQL (Alex), based on this session

From Email to SMS: Messaging and Notifications (Jose - in town from Spain!), based on this session

Building Killer Apps: Context (Jeff), based on this session

Multilingual Drupal (Jose), based on this session

Future of Fields (Alex), based on this session

Simple Test (Young), based on this session

Acquia (Eric), based on this session

If you'd like to give a talk or suggest a topic, post it here.

See you on Tuesday!

UPDATE: This meeting is actually happening TOMORROW, March 18th. Sorry for the mixup and the short-notice-change!
