Start:

2010-07-12 19:00 - 21:00 UTC

Event type:

User group meeting

Only local images are allowed. The July Drupal meetup in Washington, DC will be on Monday, July 12, at 7:00 pm at Stetson's. As usual, we'll start the evening with quick introductions followed by a round of five minute lightning talks where anyone can take the floor to talk - for five minutes or less - about something Drupal related. So far, we have one talk lined up.

Alex Barth will talk about Kit, a compilation of tools and best practices that makes site building in Drupal easier and faster.

If you'd like to give a lightning talk, speak up! Post about your talk in the comments here and come to the meetup ready to present. You'll have access to a flatscreen if you'd like to show anything off, though there is not an internet connection. After the lightning talks, there will be plenty of time to talk in detail with the presenters and ask they any questions you have and just talk Drupal over some beers.

These meetups are open to everyone and are a great opportunity to meet local Drupal developers, learn more about the platform, and share what you're working on. Hope to see you there!

I am mystified by the back-end of this CMS and hoping to nurture a close, loving relationship with it by attending this meet-up and many others to come...
