Ottawa

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Welcome to the Drupal Ottawa User Group. We will use this group to develop the Drupal community in Ottawa, to plan local events (DrupalCamps, informal get-togethers, etc.) and to share success stories and planned / completed drupal implementations. Public servants (this is Ottawa after all) interested in deploying bilingual / Common Look & Feel compliant governmental web sites will find colleagues in this group facing the same challenges related to the introduction of drupal in the federal government.

Average Drupal Developers salary

Hello Canadian Drupal developers :),

I’ve been doing Drupal development for almost 7 years and have no shortage of working with north american or european organizations, from UN to big Drupal shops.

I tried consulting websites that provide salary surveys such as SimplyHired or Indeed, however they are extremely polluted by recruitment/staffing firms ads.
