This group is for everyone living in the Gainesville area who's interested in Drupal. You can post here about anything relating to Gainesville and Drupal, whether that's events, local job postings, or just a call out to talk shop over beers. To receive alerts about these events, join the group.
Meetups focus on connecting people. The target audience is Drupal developers, users, and people who want to learn more about Drupal. We start the meetups with a round of very focused lightening talks that discuss real world solutions to existing problems and Drupal news. These presentations don’t discuss code – anyone with a technical background can understand them.

looking for volunteers
We're open to ways to improve these events and this group, so speak up if you have ideas!

Florida DrupalCamp 2016 Venue and Date Discussion
Over the past month or so, a few of us have been discussing the possibility of having Florida DrupalCamp 2016 at the Stetson University campus in Celebration. There was a possibility that it would be open to us, but the situation has changed and they are no longer interested in hosting the event.
DrupalCamp Atlanta is coming up next month (October 16-17, 2015) and it would be great if we could announce our dates and venue at that time.

Seek part time web developer for Drupal 7 website
Hi!
I am looking for a web developer to assist with the development of a Drupal 7 based website. We need assistance with content, theming, CSS, styling, responsive design, views, taxonomy.
I expect this to take 5-10 hours per week (maybe more?) for roughly 2 - 3 months, a great way to earn some extra cash.
What I need done: I migrated our Drupal 6 site data to a fresh, "clean" Drupal 7 site. On the new Drupal 7 site I need to do styling, 2 level horizontal menu system, create numerous views. I want to build a site that I can be proud of.

FLDC15 Planning kick-off
Seeing how we're behind the 8-ball a little bit in planning FLDC15, Mike Herchel, Dennis Solis, and I just had a quick call about how best to proceed. The call was open to anyone paying attention in the #drupal-florida IRC channel.
Based on a number of factors, we decided to pursue Florida Technical College (FTC) as the venue for next year's camp. If available, this will greatly simplify the planning: we know them, they know us.
