Wales, UK
To bring together all the Welsh Drupal users into a community.
South Wales Meetups in the future?
Since we're having fewer and fewer people turn out for meetups in Cardiff lately, I was thinking of changing the format slightly. I'm not sure if it's that we're not really exploring enough Drupal, or whether the audience down this way wants something different entirely, but I've had some ideas and I thought I'd float them here.
In the future I think we could:
- Change the location so there's a more organised 'feel' to the whole thing. Utilising some better media for presenting might give more focus on properly exploring topics.
November Bristol Drupal meet up
November's Bristol Drupal meetup :) Main details here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/176284
(I'm just making an even to remind myself! Plus there was a bit of interest in IRC.)
I can't believe it's not summer! (October meetup)
It's that time of month again (!!) - and I can't believe how quickly these come around..
So we'll hold another Drupal meetup, get some food in and maybe learn something about something Drupal related. Last time was pretty sparse, but that allowed us to go through git in great detail with shonk. This time I think I'd welcome someone else showing something off, maybe? Or a quick tour of Drupal Commerce, and how it works?
You guys decide!

September!
Hi all,
so we've completely forgotten to advertise a meetup, and there's one happening in Bristol on Wednesday night also, but for those in or near Cardiff, we're still having a meetup, assuming anyone turns up!
I think we're either going to look at Drupal Commerce or git - depending on which way we get swayed by the populace. Usual place - chez SubHub. Reply if you need directions ;-)

SWDUG "August - the season of many weathers" meetup
Whoops! That crept up on us!
Let's have another meetup, at SubHub HQ, with food again.
I'm proposing a session on using Git as a VCS for maintaining production sites, managing a testing workflow, and for module development. I haven't done a lot of contrib module development, so I might be guessing about that bit.
Also, Chris Cohen of Tigerfish Interactive will be our guest speaker, giving tips on obedience training for dogs. ;-)
SWDUG "July Summer Madness" meetup.
How did that sneak up? I bet you're all away on Holidays anyway.
So yes - a July meetup, in Cardiff Bay, with the folks from SubHub, and whomsoever else would like to join in. As usual, we'll lay on some pizza (or maybe something else?) you bring yourselves along. We can while away the hours talking about Drupal and what we'd all like to achieve with it, we could do a problem workshop, we could pick a topic to explore. Whatever takes your fancy, really :-)
Here's the location:

Building on the success of CiviCon Chicago, this August sees London as the location for a truly British affair that promises to be one of the major Civi events in Europe this year.

A very small agency based in Cardiff or very nearby.
We're not interested in hearing from outsourcing companies, overseas developers, or big agencies. Sorry.

Some of the key things people felt they could get out of (or would like for) regular sessions were:
- Group problem solving/open forum QA
- Learning Drupal 7
- Performance/optimisation advice
- Freelancer networking/collaboration opportunities
- Socialising
- A mixture of social/formal

The first Bristol and the West Drupal User Group meetup
The first of hopefully many regular meetups for Drupal users in and around Bristol.
SiftGroups will be hosting with plans to kick off around 6pm and run until around 9pm, carrying on in the pub if necessary. We'll sort out some food options and beer once we know numbers.
For the first session we'll keep it fairly loose, intros and stuff and try to get idea of what we can get out of regular meetups. Knowledge sharing, regular presentations/speakers, plans for DrupalCon London etc.
