LA Drupal November - Get Ready for Drupal 7

LA Drupal is one of the world's largest Drupal user groups and meets monthly. Top talent and great community members share their Drupal knowledge. Perfect for all levels - newbies to elites.

When? Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 from 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Where? Causecast.org offices - 1558 10th St. (Unit D), Santa Monica, CA 90401

Free Beer & Pizza provided by our host: www.causecast.org

Book Raffles, every attendee has a chance to win!

Main Presentation Area
Main presentation area holds up to 80 people and is geared towards general interest topics, especially geared towards people who are new to Drupal or the Topic(s) being presented. It is also a forum for sharing, asking questions.

Lightning Talks - come prepared to talk for 5 min. about something you'd like to share with the Drupal group. Finished a new Drupal site? Find a cool new module? Keep it succinct - you get stopped at five minutes - but we'll be nice about it.

Q & A followed by Job Announcements.

And...
In addition to our presentation(s) of the night we have open-mic opportunities for those who have general Drupal questions or need help during our wonderful meeting segment, "Ask the LA Drupal Community." Need to just ask another human a Drupal question? Then this is that chance.

We have raffle prizes for attendees, and as always, the end of the meeting is our networking session with the fun and knowledgeable LA Drupal crowd.

Those wishing to make announcements for Drupal jobs/work, please come early and speak to the organizers and we can provide time for you to speak to the audience.

Tags for the night:
Post photos on Flickr.com with the tag "ladrupal" and "drupal".

Whats an LA Drupal meetup like? Fun & Interesting!

LA Drupal meetups are free and open to anyone interested in Drupal from beginner to guru, but you have to bring a fun attitude and be willing to share or learn.

We have areas for networking, general topics, and more advanced learning and sharing. Presentations and a big breakout session at the end to chat and network.

We like to highlight and encourage folks with cool local projects to present at upcoming meetings. In the past year we've had presenters from Warner Brothers Records; hosting over a hundred artist sites on Drupal, StandUp2Cancer.org - over a million hits in one day during the airing of the show, and local shops such as www.ThisByThem.com, www.ActiveLamp.com, www.openChimp.com, www.chillco.com, www.exaltations.net, www.WorkHabit.com, www.AchieveInternet.com, and others. Topics have included How to build your first Drupal Module, Using Views 1 & Views 2, Panels module, Drush module, Theming, and Scaling Drupal & Cloud computing just to name a handful.
