Drupal Meetup
My colleague and I are coming to Edmonton to kick off a Drupal project with the Government of Alberta and it would be great to meet some fellow Drupal folks while there.
Anyone interested in setting up a meetup. I suggest drinks, chat and networking at a local pub/bistro?
We arrive on Friday afternoon and leave Tuesday morning. We have a meeting on Monday afternoon with GoA but would be open to having a meetup at any time before/after that.
Any thoughts?
Please let me know
Cheers!
Pat Gilbert
