Chicago's local community of various user groups focused on Drupal. Groups have meetings each month in/around Chicago. Please be sure to join our group if interested in posting or hearing about Drupal-related job opportunities in the Chicagoland area.
The Drupal Chicago Meetup Group holds meetups on various topics and networking opportunities. Presentations and speakers are aimed at a general audience, with site show-and-tells, module demonstrations, news and announcements, and question and answer sessions.
If you live or work in the suburbs, check out the Fox Valley Drupal Meetup group with topics for all users.
Volunteers in the Chicago Drupal Group also organize MidCamp - Midwest Drupal Camp. Drupal camps are multi-day events that can include training days, session days, code and documentation sprints, and social events. Held annually in March, MidCamp is quickly becoming one of the larger and prestigious Drupal camps due to its high level of speakers, content, accessibility, and attention to detail.
Did we mention, the Chicago Drupal community has active and ongoing community discussions going on can be found at https://midcamp.slack.com.

Read moreNeed Experienced Drupal Developer to Complete Customizations - Chicago
Looking for an experienced Drupal developer to complete enhancements to a musical gear-oriented content site. Work would involve customizing existing modules, bug fixes, and other specific changes. Specs are already defined for the remainder of the work (previous developer moved to California and took another job). Probably another 40-80 hours of work remains; developer would be required to spend some or all time on-site. Potential for ongoing freelance work exists. We're located in downtown Chicago, with easy access to and from public transportation.
Read moreLooking for Drupal Dev for Chicago Based Community Site
We are looking for a dev with a solid skill set, willing to aid in grass roots site development. We currently need a site audit, theme dev and module modifications. I have installed and configured the framework, but my focus is in branding and not so much coding. Judging by the power of drupal and availability of component modules, this should be a walk in the park for most devs.
Please contact me directly for more information on the project roadmap and data models we will need; Would like to discuss timeline + milestones.

Read morePossible Chicago Meet & Greet
The Chicago Drupal Users group is now 16 subscribers strong and growing.
I'm thinking we should all try and get together soon, perhaps around mid-end of June? What is everybody's schedule like around that time? Does anyone have a place in mind to meet at? I can offer my small office space with wi-fi and perhaps we can fill it up with some cocktails or something like that. Any ideas?
