What's Drupal After Dark?
Drupal After Dark meetups have traditionally been social occasions where food and drinks are involved (and alcohol is an option). In the past we've met at places including the Good Hurt and Don Antonio's on the Westside and Masa in Echo Park and good times have been had by all. Attendees are expected to abide by both the Outdoor Cinema Food Fest policies and the laws of the State of California.

Barn Raising - Time Banking in LA?
Hi Everyone,
This is something I've wanted to do with Drupal for years, and I'd like to see how the community feels about it.
Have you ever had an idea for a project, but didn't have the hours to really get it started? Do you know of a good cause that could use a good website? Have you ever made some unfortunate decisions and needed to get your ass pulled out of the fire?
Have a barn raising! Another way of thinking of this is time-banking. Invite the community, be prepared to feed those who show up, perhaps plan something nice for the evening, and get the help you need.
Read moreWho's interested in a "Design for Drupal" conference in Los Angeles in February, 2011?
As one of DrupalCamp LA's lead organizers, my sense is that DrupalCamp LA has moved out of the realm of what a camp is and into the realm of large summits and conferences. I talked a little bit about this in a recent LA DrupalCast episode, and while I definitely thought DrupalCamp LA 2010 was a lot of fun and a moderately successful event, I think DrupalCamp LA occupies a strange place in the spectrum of camps, summits and cons.
If you haven't been to camps other than DrupalCamp LA or if you're wondering what this "Design for Drupal" stuff is, please bear with me and read the entire post and my comments below.
Read moreDrupal Design Camp LA conference on February 5-6, 2011 in Los Angeles, California
Design for Drupal comes to LA! The first annual Drupal Design Camp LA conference is officially scheduled for February 5-6, 2011, in Los Angeles, California.
Registration for Drupal Design Camp LA is done at http://2011.ddcla.org and you're welcome to sign up. Registering for the conference is as simple as signing up for an account. We'll be launching the full site soon with information about the venue, local hotels, restaurants and coffeeshops, and begin accepting session proposals.
The Drupal Design Camp LA conference follows in the footsteps of the Drupal Design Camps at Standford, in Boston and in Prague, which have successfully brought designers, themers, developers, information architects and usability engineers together. These conferences are just like DrupalCamps but offer sessions and presentations specifically about design and theming topics such as grid design, usability testing, sustainable, additive approaches to theming and so on.
What's Design for Drupal?
Translating a design into a Drupal "theme" is often a high barrier and it has been difficult and costly for many designers to have a "design-driven approach" to Drupal. Feedback from the design community has often focused on the difficulties of designing for the Drupal theme system, which combines several programming disciplines and languages, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
Design for Drupal is a relatively new movement in the Drupal community to help make Drupal more friendly and approachable to designers, information architects and usability engineers, and in general anyone who is interested in customizing Drupal's output to the web page. At its core, Design for Drupal is about inviting the larger design community together to be a part of the Drupal community and enabling designers, usability engineers, developers, information architects and themers to coordinate efforts, come up with creative ideas and work towards making Drupal easier to use and look beautiful.

Read moreCoworking / Hacker Space Thoughts and Ideas
Hi Everyone,
Would very much like to gather thoughts and ideas for the hacker space that we've been noodling around with.
My main goal with this would be to create a space where people could come and be with other drupaleros, work together or alone, in comfort. A lot of ideas have been floated, and I'd like to have people put them here in the comments, including kick-ass name ideas.
