LA Drupal meets at least once a month, bringing together professional and upcoming talent from the world of Drupal. This month our meeting will include the following agenda:

• Mobile Drupal Sites - a discussion on Drupal sites going mobile. Tom Boone, an LA Drupal member, will be spearheading this talk and you should bring your mobile-Drupal questions.

• Drush on Windows - the uber-popular command line tool, Drush, runs on any platform. Last month Chris Charlton showed Drush on Mac OS X (Unix), and Nickolas will be showing Windows users this month how to reduce Drupal updates from hours & minutes to seconds!

• Firebug Lite - All web developers & designers are now relying on the Firebug extension for Firefox web browsers to help debug their JavaScript & CSS. For years Firebug has offered a version that works in any other web browser, allowing us to debug CSS reliably in Safari, Opera, or Internet Explorer! Firebug Lite is free, and there's even a Drupal module for it. This lightning talk is by Chris Charlton and will show you how Firebug Lite (module) works cross-browser in just seconds!

• Bad Camp 2009 - some of us locals are going to the "Bay Area" Drupal camp next month. Highlights of the camp can be shown/discussed.

• DrupalCon San Francisco 2010 - that's right, the next official Drupal conference will be in San Francisco, California. Yup, just North of us. If there are details to share with us locals, then we'll hear it. Otherwise, get ready for it come April 2010.

Lightning Talks - come prepared to talk for 5 min. about something you'd like to share with the Drupal group. Finished a new Drupal site? Find a cool new module? Keep it succinct - you get stopped at five minutes - but we'll be nice about it.

We're having coffee and talking Drupal on Thursday, Sep 3, 2009 in the LBC and You're invited!

Can you believe this marks our last meeting of the year?!! It's been a great year! make sure to check out our LA meeting Archives. We've got the latter half of our meetings online. We're shooting to start streaming live meetings and we're already lining up some great stuff for us next year! ...there's A TON going on with Drupal. plus if the economy stays soft... my prediction is the future is very strong for open source and Drupal!

Tonight, Tuesday the 16th, from 7pm-9:30pm, LA Drupal will be host to a night presentation on the Organic Groups module, aka "OG," which allows Drupal sites to setup groups that users can join and subscribe to. Come tonight to ask questions about this module and more.

We will also be offering open-mic opportunities through the night to ask Drupal questions during our wonderful meeting segment, "Ask the LA Drupal Community." Need to just ask another human a Drupal question? Then this is that chance.
