I think we could meet at the coffee shop and talk. If people like to go somewhere else then we could do that. It will be open style and up to people attending.
This meetup is a casual/networking meetup to get to know each other and share/exchange ideas on Drupal monthly meetup in Beijing and related interests like IT, web, open source, SEO, marketing and life in general. It will be a welcoming, fun, sharing, relaxed environment to meet new people.

About me (HappyJiyoung): I am Korean and moved to Beijing last June due to my husband's work. I discovered Drupal (open source program CMS/CMF Contents Management System/Framework) in April.
Prior to Drupal discovery, I've been making websites with Korean CMS to share info since 2001. My passion is sharing info/great things with others! :)
I would love to meet other fellow drupal users and new people with similar interests.
I would like to share what I learned and exchange ideas and also learn from you. I would like to see how we could organize monthly meetup together regularly formal in informal both.
Also I love to meet people visiting/living in Beijing. I haven't explored the city and country and the people yet! It is my goal to enjoy my Beijing life from now on.
I spend most of my time sitting in front of computer learning/watching tutorials and getting involved with Drupal groups and making website with Drupal.
我是Jiyoung (Drupal Group ID: happyJiyoung),一个去年来到北京的韩国人;我丈夫在北京工作。从2001年开始我曾经使用韩国的CMS,并在见年四月份开始使用Drupal。希望和大家分享Drupal心得,也希望能够多了解中国和北京。

Hey there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price? Kudos, I appreciate it!
