Looking for help at DrupalCon on Monday
Hi all,
We're doing a Drupal 8 Beginner training class at Monday on DrupalCon.

We need from someone who is at least a Drupal Intermediate user and can circulate around the room, helping people solve Beginner-level problems.
If you're going to New Orleans and would like to get paid for a days work on Monday, please get in touch. My email is steve@ostraining.com.

Automated software testing is the best way to increase the effectiveness, efficiency and coverage of your software testing. In this training, you will learn how to automate web applications for testing purposes.

Florida Drupalcamp 2017!!! February 18-19, 2017 in Orlando, FL
Save the Date! Florida Drupalcamp 2017 will be Feb 18-19th in Orlando, FL!
As stated in Ultimike's blog post, we're going to start planning way early - And with that in mind, we already have our date set. Florida Drupalcamp 2017 will be Feb 18-19th in Orlando, FL!
We're hoping to change things around a bit, this coming year. We're planning on having sessions both days (instead of just a code sprint on Sunday), and we'll also use this as an opportunity to move around the beginners session to make room for more popular general sessions. Yes, we'll still have the code sprint, but it will be happening while other sessions are going on!
We'll also be hosting some pre-Drupalcamp coworking. So, come on down Friday and stay until Monday. It'll be a blast!
PS. Looking to volunteer? Comment below and let us know! We need more!

Hey everybody,
I just posted a blog post about FLDC2016 wins and losses.
I wanted to link to it from here to ensure everyone is aware of the challenges we faced in organizing the 2016 camp. While the camp was a huge success, there are definitely some things we can do better, but the only way that will happen is if more people step up to help out.
Here's a quick summary of where we'd love some additional help:

Please add your comments and suggestions in the proper section below.
Web site
- Clearly, we need to get it up-and-running earlier.
- During the camp I noticed that on mobile, the incorrect (FLDC15) hashtag is displayed in the header.
- With this year's changes to the Eventbright stuff, is the site good-to-go for future years?
- (mike h) It should be with minimal effort
- (Hollye M.) Need a page for the Sunday events so organizations have some way of validating travel. It's a government thing.

Florida Drupal Group vs Florida Drupal Users Group
Hi Everyone,
I would like to propose using Florida Drupal Group on our swag instead of Florida Drupal Users' Group.
The shorter name will help make it easier to create graphics and will also prevent the yearly discussion of the spelling (Users, Users', or User's).
What say you all?
