Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story. We generally meet once a month (typically the 4th Thursday) on a variety of topics, both technical and non-technical. There is no cost to join the group or attend our monthly meetings.
We have a sister group in the Lower Mainland, the Surrey Drupal Users Group that meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Many people are members of both groups.
Twitter and IRC
Hey all -
Just another PSA here, to let everyone know there's now a Twitter account set up if you want to follow for meetup reminders, etc. at http://twitter.com/vandug. The group admins all have access to the password, and if one of us gets fancy, we'll set up some kind of hashtag retweeter system.

Drupal won't run under Vista Home Edition
Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble installing Drupal on my laptop with Windows Vista Home Edition. I have tried numerous times to install XAMPP and WAMP and have not had any success. I have also followed instructions I found on the Internet and installed each one of Apache/PHP/MySQL by itself. Is there anyone out there who has successfully installed Apache/PHP/MySQL server under Windows Vista Home Edition?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Katy :-)
