The Multi-lingual Initiative and Field API has space in their sprinting facility on the Sunday before Drupalcon, so we're going to be sharing that space to run a Mobile Initiative sprint.

I'd love for you to come! I'll be there regardless. :-)

If you won't be in Munich, you can still join us virtually. Just head over to the IRC channel: #drupal-mobile

If you think you might attend, email me at: John at albin dot net

Here's the details:

We're excited to announce our new Frontend Drupal meetup, which meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month. This month, we're meeting at Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency in Culver City, between 7-9pm on August 28, 2012. This meetup focuses on design, usability, accessibility and theming, and as part of the Design 4 Drupal movement is about inviting the larger design community to become a part of the Drupal community.

This is looking to be a great kickoff for our series of Frontend Drupal meetups! At our inaugural session, we'll have a presentations about the Foundation framework by Ishmael Sanchez, another presentation on Adobe Edge by shaRon and a lightning talk on @fontyourface by joyseeker.

Our meetups follow a basic format and start off with Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes and full-length presentations. As always, we'll also have community Q&A, during which time anyone in attendance can ask questions, divine answers from the crowd and give brief, 5-10 minute-long presentations known as lightning talks.

We'll finish off the night with more networking and a Drupal After Dark at 9:30pm.

About Design 4 Drupal (D4D)

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 4 Drupal is an organized 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.
