Meetup

Each year LA Drupal and neighboring groups meetup up at DrupalCon for a group photo. This is short 15-20 minute event, people just show up and someone takes a photo, then the Internet is blessed with that photo. F-O-R-E-V-E-R!

Until a better place is chosen, let's assume everyone should gather near the conference registration tables.

We will need someone to volunteer their camera/device, and we usually grab someone random from the crowd and ask them to snap the photo for us.

Join us Tuesday, June 11, 2013 for our monthly gathering to learn, share, and meet others interested in Drupal. This month our meetup will be at Stauffer Inc (map). Come learn all about Drupal!

Mark your calendars for the second Tuesday of each month as "LA Drupal DAY"! This event is FREE!

New Drupal users are encouraged to join us!
