If you're a freelancer, drupal shop owner, etc. then I'd highly recommend making the effort to go to these CXO events, in fact I'd say they're as life-changing as your first DrupalCamp!

June's BrightonPHP meeting - Drupal talk?
Hi all,
I'm sorting out this month's BrightonPHP meeting, and realised that it's been absolutely ages since the last time we had a Drupal-related presentation - I think the last one was Alick Mighall back in July last year... It would be great to get some more Drupal content as part of the group presentations - I was wondering if anyone was up for presenting this month at all?
The meeting is on the 19th June, 7pm (7.15pm kickoff) at the Skiff.
Cheers :-)

DrupalCamp Brighton
Hey!!
So yes... DrupalCamp Brighton - who's up that then?
I have been thinking about organising a DrupalCamp Brighton - I have contacted and spoken to a few people but I thought a kick start meeting would be good so we can get all those that want to be involved, involved and to get the ball rolling.
What are people's initial thoughts?
So far I have been thinking about
*Location - I have contacted the universities and currently waiting to hear from them. I reckon a university would be perfect location - easy to find and get to / enough space / professional.

Read moreNew time and place for our monthly contrib meetup.
Steves new @vbrighton space will be our new home for the monthly contrib meetup.
Steve is happy for us to use the space on any day so we are open for suggestions. so far the feedback was:
- Monday: not good for some.
- Wednesday: clashes with brighton farm
So possibly the first Tuesday or Thursday of the month.
Do let us know what you think so we can set a date that gets as many of us in.
I am going to give the space a go today after work and do some contrib work from 7PM onwards so if anyone wants to join in please just show up.

Read moreBrighton Drupal Community Open Weekends (a.k.a. BADAss COWs?!)
Hi folks,
We've been discussing Sprint Weekends for quite a while now so I thought now I've got the @vbrighton space we can start putting some dates in the diary. I've set up two events for April, please sign up to your preferred one. Even if you only can pop in for a couple of hours it's all appreciated!
Also would be good to hear feedback on the idea of calling it "Community Open Weekends" so if anyone's interested in learning more about Drupal we can incorporate a session or two or other kind of activities - please post ideas!

Instead of our 3rd Monday drinks, this month the Tour de Drupal team will be presenting short sessions between 6pm-7pm at Brighton's newest coworking space @vbrighton, which is directly opposite @theskiff.
They are sprinting on the Tour de Drupal website @vbrighton during the daytime and I've managed to convince them to stay down for the evening and tell us all a little about their Drupal lives.
