The Santa Cruz Drupal User's Group is looking to connect Drupal users in and around Santa Cruz, California.
We have a budding tech community in Santa Cruz. One factor in our tech growth is the use of Drupal at several local web shops, start-ups, and organizations. Drupal use at UC Santa Cruz is also growing and it's time we all got together to share knowledge and learn from each other.
We (almost always) meet on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7:00pm. Meetings are free and held at NextSpace at 101 Cooper Street in downtown Santa Cruz. All are welcome. Ring the buzzer to get let into the building.
Note - If the meeting day falls on a holiday or during the winter holidays (e.g. January), then we will probably reschedule the meeting.
Registration is open, sign up and propose your sessions.
Registration is open, sign up and propose your sessions at: http://drupalca.org
This camp will be a great opportunity to do some networking with Central America's top development shops and talented programmers.
Don't miss out.

Hi all,
I'm signed up for talking about Features and Panels this Tuesday. Unfortunately I won't have time to "prepare" so it will be by the seat of my pants. If you prefer a more prepared presentation, I could present these at the April meeting instead, but then someone would need to step in for this Tuesday's meeting and present something. Anyone interested? Thoughts?

Hosting Choices?
I was looking at Kristen's web site and saw her discussion of hosting providers. In looking into this topic myself, for every rave of a provider there seems to be a problem, too. Is it just that we want more performance than we can get for $5/mo. on shared hosting?

Hi All;
I have reserved a spot for us at NextSpace for the rest of the year. I hope I didn't jinx us!
We will have to use the downstairs room and Kristen's projector again in March, but the rest of the year we have the Pacific Room and a projector.
There is a screen that hangs on the wall for downstairs; I'd forgotten about it. So Julia won't have to drag the screen with her again.
Thanks to Mike, Kristen, and Julia, for making it happen in my absence. I do wish I'd been able to attend.
February Meeting
Sneaked up on me again!
February meeting will be, as usual, NextSpace at 101 Cooper Street, downtown Santa Cruz.
Julia will be presenting a comparison of WordPress and Drupal.
