There is now a thriving Drupal community in Bristol.
Freelancers and developers from the many Drupal shops are regularly meeting up and sharing Drupal knowledge and experiences.
We're now meeting once a month, on the third Wednesday of the month.

Christmas thing?
We've done a Christmas meal and/or drinks for the last couple of years. Would anyone be interested in doing the same this year?
If we want to do a meal somewhere, we should probably get numbers and something booked a fair time in advance.

July social meetup
Following the success of DrupalCamp Bristol this weekend, a quiet social meetup at the Llandoger seems in order for some drinks and Drupal chat. We'll then be planning a talk night in August and some sprints at the Sift offices.
If anyone want to put their name down for a talk in August or a later meetup, speak to us at the event, or send us a tweet at @DrupalBristol.

Drupalcamp Bristol
Hi South West,
Drupalcamp Bristol is happening this Friday and Saturday!
Not sure what is going on? The full schedule has now been published here: https://2015.drupalcampbristol.co.uk/programme/sessions
We have a few tickets remaining that can be purchased for the event here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/drupalcamp-bristol-tickets-16539815032
We have created a discount code of DIGITAL20 to give you 20% tickets on the Friday, but hurry there are only 20 tickets available with this code and once they are gone, they are gone!
Best Regards

Read moreSprints?
After feeling inspired by the sprints at DrupalCon LA, and following on from the thoughts of mixing up the group activities, would anyone be interested in attending regular sprints in Bristol? Maybe one Saturday or a weekend a month?
I'd certainly be willing to provide some mentoring for new contributors, as well as helping out if anyone wants to do any work on Drupal.org itself or the conference organising distribution.
If people are interested, would any companies be willing to give us some space or provide lunch etc?

So if you fancy giving a talk in exchange for free entry, submit a session right here:

There are some early bird tickets left if you're not feeling that brave but want to come along.
Cheers

Usual Drupal social at the Llandoger for beers and Drupal/tech discussions, all are welcome.
This will be a chance to relax before DrupalCamp Bristol, and then we're looking at organising regular talk nights and sprints after the Camp.
Read moreMay social meetup
Usual Drupal social at the Llandoger for beers and Drupal/tech discussions, all are welcome.
I can't make this one, but a couple of good things to discuss would be:
- DrupalCamp Bristol - who's attending and submitting sessions?
- Talk night in June? It's been a while since our last talk night (June 2014), so it might be good to do another one before the Camp? I'd like to see these more regularly (once a quarter, or more?)
- Sprints?
April social meetup, DrupalCamp update, PHPSW discussion
Usual Drupal social at the Llandoger for beers and Drupal/tech discussions, all are welcome.
A couple of other things that it would be good to discuss:
- Joint talk night with PHPSW (in June?)
- DrupalCamp Bristol update
[Free Webinar] Drupal 8: Frontend for Backenders
Drupal 8 will ship with a fancy new template engine (Twig) and a simpler theme layer. In this webinar, our speaker will show you some goodies from Twig and give you a walkthrough on how to get started with it.
He will also talk about the major problems that people were facing in working with Drupal 7 and what the community has done to make it better. This webinar will show - in both practical examples and on a broader scale - why Drupal 8 will make peace between backenders and frontenders.
Why Should You Attend This?

Talk night at PHPSW?
I was thinking the other day that it's been a while since the last Drupal Bristol talk night (July!?), and it would be good to do another one before DrupalCamp Bristol in July. This would give speakers a chance to have a trial run if they feel that they need to do so before the event.
I've been speaking with our friends at PHPSW, who are doing a WordPress night next week about doing something similar, and suggested maybe we do so in June? What are people's thoughts on this?
