The last two events had a great turn out, around 40 - 50 people for each one, if you haven't come along to one yet, you don't know what your missing!

The format is simple: come along at any time between 7pm and 11pm, get a beer (or cider or wine or coffee or nachos) and have a good chin wag about Drupal, the web and anything else that takes your fancy.

Whatever your experience with MySQL, the MySQL customer conferences offer you an opportunity to help you determine how you can get the most out of MySQL technology, and of the company now behind it, Sun Microsystems.

Breakout sessions enable you to pick and choose the topics that are of most interest to you.

Search Engine Optimization has fast become one of the most important priorities for businesses operating on the web. It is no longer seen as an IT led initiative but is firmly a marketing, ecommerce and business priority that touches every stage of a site’s life cycle.

It’s also a complex process with multiple stakeholders and it’s not always easy to achieve and measure success.

Key issues facing clients:

• How should I approach SEO, should it be integrated with the site, with paid search, with the editorial teams?

We're looking for an experienced drupal developer to come and work for us for 3-4 months at our Central London offices. You'll be working on the UK's largest graduate careers website, http://www.WikiJob.co.uk, helping to redesign it and add new features for the coming the year.

Decent experience working with taxonomies, views and panels is required, as is fluency with PHP and MySQL. AJAX is a bonus.

The position is to start ASAP.
