DrupalCamp Los Angeles 2008, this September 13-14 (2 days) at the Los Angeles Convention Center

We think Drupal is the best open source content management system period and we're not the only ones. Faced with a bigger demand for Drupal developers than even last year... the Los Angeles Drupal Users Group has decided to throw our second annual free community training session to improve the level of Drupal development in Los Angeles. Plus it's a geeky good time!

Drupal Camp LA 2008 will be held from September 13-14th at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Attendance is FREE! RSVP required. Register for the event and sign-up for updates at http://drupalcampla.com

Some people wanted to get our cool LA Drupal pamphlet in digital form. So, here it is in all its PDF glory.

We meet on the last Tuesday of the month in the Los Angeles area. This meeting will be held at the Rich Media Institute in Venice, CA.

LA Drupal meets monthly and offers a nice place for members and new people to learn and talk about Drupal, a world popular content management system (CMS). RSVP is not required and attendance is free.

Topics

Drupal for Music Bands

Are you a musician or band member and heard of Drupal? Come watch a free panel discussion on how various LA Drupal members/agencies are helping the music world and local bands get sites online and actually manageable. This will be a panel style discussion bringing various panel members to talk about how Drupal can help the music scene anywhere by providing free websites that are enhanced with community modules and themes - and we're here to discuss that. Questions will be taken.

Presentation technical level: Beginner-Intermediate

For those interested in seeing my slides from my DrupalCamp Colorado (2008) presentation, Flex/Flash/AIR Interfaces for Custom Content Types in Drupal they are on SlideShare.net at:

http://www.slideshare.net/ccharlton/flex-flash-air-interfaces-for-custom...

by me. I was looking at activity in the Southern California group, with the exception of a couple job posts there has been NO topical posts exclusive to the group since march of 2007. That's over a year of stagnation in a community that is far from stagnant.

I feel this leads to noise & confusion. Anyone object to killing the group? it was seems to have been created at a time before a dominant regional group took off.

We are hosting a 2 day basic Drupal training on August 16-17 2008. The training will take place at the Holiday Inn in Long Beach at the Long Beach Airport. The instructor will be Chris Charlton from L.A. Drupal. Space is limited to 30 participants. Lunch will be provided. Registration is $300 per person.

For more information and registration visit http://www.drupallearning.com
Syllabus will be available soon, we wanted to put out the date as soon as we could.

we're mostly friendly. and mostly fun. but we're pretty geeky. in a cool way, of course. but this month we're a bit melancholy on the news Crystal is leaving us for Seattle. :-/

the good news is that we taped our meeting. ya, real geeky. but LA area is HUGE. and sometimes making it to the meeting in person can be difficult. so there you go... we're geeky but thinking about everyone that wanted to join us, but couldn't.

We meet on the last Tuesday of the month at the Rich Media Institute.

Hi folks, I'm sure you want free stuff. Well, you'll get it. Not only do all attendees get to be on the official beta of the XTND.US Drupal Themer's Kit Pro for Dreamweaver, but there's new offerings for our members. In looking to get more talent to volunteer and speak at our LA Drupal meetings I have outlined the various offerings below.

Please comment on and/or feel free to edit this proposal. I am asking the Drupal Association to monitor this wiki. The format is loosely based on the RFP at http://association.drupal.org/Drupal-conference-proposals-2008-2009.

Greetings people of the greater Los Angeles area!

Team Lullabot is going to be in town next week for a round of theming workshops. We've got a room booked for the full week and would love to host a local meetup.

We'll be at the The Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club: 260 Portofino Way in Redondo Beach [map] on Tuesday, February 5th from 6:30 - 10pm.

There'll be a cash bar and cookies. Hope to see you there!

This isn't an actually an event, but I've done some research into meeting in Orange County briefly. Sadly (gladly?) I don't live there anymore so I can't help you organize this, but I thought I would share the possible meeting places I found. There's always the option for something such as Panera bread as a restaurant that has decent food, and wifi, with several location throughout Orange County.
