Thoughts on having a meetup at Mayorga in Silver Spring? I've been meaning to make it downtown for the last three meetings but every time work interferes so it's either quit work or try to do something closer to home.

Digital Publishing Corporation, a well-funded media company, seeks a talented Jr. – Mid Web Developer to join its media department in maintaining our various media properties as well as creating new ones! The developer will work directly with our designers and management team in launching engaging and innovative web sites. This is a great opportunity to hone your skills, build a portfolio, and launch a career in a rapidly growing media company.

Over the last several weeks I've been contacting people in the DC Drupal community and the Drupal Association to evaluate whether DC would serve as a good space for the Spring 2009 North American DrupalCon. As we all know, it will and it will be awesome!

With our large and very active Drupal community, we'll be able to support it, and with all the nonprofits, associations, and political organizations based here there is a huge user and potential user base that we can engage and get to invest in Drupal. Our Convention Center is centrally located and surrounded by hotels and restaurants, which makes it convenient for people traveling from anywhere (including DC and the 'burbs) and for meeting and socializing after sessions are over. Plus, Washington, DC is a great city and a tourist destination in itself - it will be great to share the city with the entire Drupal community.

So, we are going to go for it. The proposal has been submitted to the Drupal Association, and now that the formalities are started, it's time to engage more people to further develop this and let the community discourse shape this into what will be an awesome conference. Here is the formal proposal we submitted if you'd like to give it a read: http://is.gd/X3m.

Hi there! EchoDitto is searching for outstanding web developers based in either New York, Boston or Washington, DC to join our team of technology enthusiasts and progressive thinkers to assist on a number of exciting, high-profile projects. This position will be responsible for developing innovative Web-based tools for progressive online activism and community building. Our software architects work closely with their strategy architect counterparts to develop specifications and make recommendations on the use of new and emerging technologies. Programming, user interface design and database familiarity are all core elements of this position. Dealing with Microsoft technologies is not.

The National Democratic Institute is looking for a creative and flexible programmer to build cool tools that help our partners around the world create more transparent, accountable and democratic governance. The programmer will work with our ICT Team and our country teams to design and build software for governments, political parties, civic action groups and networks of political reformers.

We are looking for a full-time experienced Drupal Developer who is experienced with CiviCRM, Multi-Installs, and would have no problem launching 10-20 Drupal sites in a week.

You WON'T be doing design work, just the heavy lifting of configuring and optimizing the sites. All sites will be similar so sharing 1 install should be very possible.

You should have experience with CiviCRM and experience creating membership sites is a plus. You must be able to work daily, work quickly, as well as work without constant attention and oversight.

NEEDED - Full Time Web Developer (with Drupal expertise)

With the support of the good folks at chapterthreellc.com, we just built
and launched a new Drupal-based website -- www.ourfuture.org. We've now
got a great position open for someone with web development experience --
and experience/interest in Drupal specifically is a huge plus.

The US election year is going to make things incredibly exciting at our
organization! We've got a great online team in place, and a lot of fun
projects planned for year. We're now just looking to fill the final
developer slot on the team.

Have just been introduced to Drupal and am finding the learning curve a bit steep. Perhaps the lack of a 10000-ft view.

Other eager-but-clueless types in DC for a meetup?

The sooner the better.

The World Bank is increasingly relying on drupal and we are looking for a full time (contractor) lead developer to join our team. We are the ones who commissioned, tweaked and released the BuzzMonitor to help organizations better engage in social media (so far downloaded over 3,000 times) and have a number of projects in the pipeline that involve both "traditional" use of drupal but also some module development. From using drupal as our corporate blogging platform to doing some interesting in API / data visualization work and adding features to the BuzzMonitor, I'd say it's a fun job.
