Providence PHP Meetup

mrf — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:58:03 +0000

Since we haven't scared up enough interest for a Drupal only event yet, lets latch on to the already successful PHP Meetup that has been happening in Providence over the last few years.

You can register and RSVP at http://php.meetup.com/338/

There are already a few Drupal people in this group so there should be plenty of opportunities to talk Drupal.

Lets get this Rhode Island Meetup started!

ceardach — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:23:02 +0000

We should meet up. Drupalcon2008 just finished, we should at the very least debrief!

Where could we meet? My company has tentatively offered their office space. It needs to be cleared by the higher ups first, though. There is also AS220, which a lot of other meetups use.

jQuery Camp 2007

mrf — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:25:22 +0000

Coming up in October there is an event in Boston that may interest Ocean State Drupalers.

Now that jQuery is an integral part of Drupal, it is in every Drupal user's best interest to keep up to date with jQuery's development. Luckily for those of us in New England there is jQuery Camp. October 27, 2007 many of jQuery's main developers, along with many core Drupal contributers will be holding a mini-conference in Boston (location to be determined).

More information can be found out by visiting the events information page.

Welcome

mrf — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 13:34:21 +0000

Welcome to the Rhode Island Drupal users group.

I founded this group in the hope that there are more Drupalers in the Ocean State that are dying to get together and discuss exciting things like the form API and the PHP template engine.

If you are out there, introduce yourself in the comments and let me know what direction you would like to see the Rhode Island group heading.
