Drupal users group for Central Illinois, the area south of Chicago and north of St. Louis, including Bloomington, Champaign, Peoria, and Springfield. (See Map of Central Illinois.)
CIDUG Lives!
We had a DrupalCon recap session on campus today, and one of the topics we discussed was getting regular meetups going. Once per month on a Friday afternoon at 3pm sounded like a consensus preference, and we'd like to include the other Central Illinois Drupal users. The campus Webmasters have a meetup on the fourth Friday at 3pm every month. Since I'd like to offer to facilitate the first one, I'd like to suggest the 2nd or 3rd Friday of April. We'll find a location on campus to have it.
