The next Drupal meetup will be on Monday, October 19th at 7:00 pm at Stetson's. These meetups are a great opportunity to meet other local Drupal developers and Drupal site administrators, learn about some of the cool things being done in Drupal, and just learn more about the CMS. People of all levels of Drupaldom are welcome.

As usual, we'll kick off the meetup with a round of introductions at 7:30 pm, followed by five minute lightning talks. These can be about anything Drupal related - a site or module you're working on, a question you have, or anything else that you think would be of interest to the group. If you'd like to give a talk, post about it in the comments and come ready to talk. There will be access to a flatscreen to plug into, but the internet is shaky so don't count on being able to get online. After the lightning talks, there will be lots of time for conversations and more beer.

Hope to see you there!

The August DC Drupal meetup will take place on Monday, August 10th at 7:00 pm at Stetson's. We'll get things going officially around 7:30, starting with a round of introductions so we can all get to know each other, followed by a round of 5 minute lightning talks.

Lightning talks are your chance to discuss a Drupal module, ask a question you have about Drupal to the group, show off a new site that you built, or talk about anything else Drupal related. The only rules are that you have to keep it short - 5 minutes or less - and keep it so that everyone can follow along no matter how often they code with Drupal. If you'd like to give a talk, post it in the comments and/or speak up at the meetup.

Don't be shy if you're just starting or thinking about starting with Drupal. The meetups are a great way to learn and meet people who've been in your place before.

Hope to see you there!

Get your 3D glasses ready... We'll be meeting in 3D (yes, I mean in person) next Monday, June 8th at Stetson's. We'll meet at the upstairs bar around 7:00 pm, and will get started with introductions followed by a round of five minute lightening presentations at 7:30 pm.

So far, a few people have volunteered to lead lightning talks.

• Adrian Rossouw, in town from South Africa, will talk about Aegir, a set of modules that helps you easily deploy and maintain many Drupal sites. He'll talk about what you can do with Aegir, where the project is, and where it's going.

The floor is open for anyone to give a five minute lightening talk, so if you'd like to talk about something you're working on in Drupal - like a module, a new website/tool, a question you have, etc. - post your topic in the comments and come ready to talk.
