Question about the Austin DUG meet-up

Is the DUG mainly for web developers and programmers? I'm interested in
using Drupal to build my own content sites for e-commerce. Do the members
discuss internet marketing and e-commerce? Or is it mainly the mechanics of
the Drupal platform?

Thanks,
larry

Hi Larry,

To answer your questions...

Q1 - Is the DUG mainly for web developers and programmers?
A1 - No, "Newbies AND advanced coders all welcomed at Austin DUG meetups!"
Please attend today's meetup at the Terrazos Branch Library to get acquainted with the Austin DUG.

Q2 - I'm interested in using Drupal to build my own content sites for e-commerce. Do the members discuss internet marketing and e-commerce? Or is it mainly the mechanics of the Drupal platform?
A2 - Everything and anything is discussed although it mainly depends on who has volunteered to present at a specific meetup. And volunteer presenters often present on a specific topic based on someone having asked for it, so please make specific suggestions that will help motivate knowledgeable Drupal users to step up and present because, in fact, it helps give the meetup some structure and goals. Internet marketing and e-commerce have certainly been discussed in the past as have "the mechanics of the Drupal platform".

Anyone else care to comment?
