The Drupal Gold Coast Christmas meetup is coming up next week. Time to get together for some pizza, drinks and Drupal!
This month should be pretty laid back, the plan is to order some pizza's, so bring a couple bucks to chip in and whatever you'd like to drink - OntheNet will have the usual stash of free Coke - but you can also bring some beer or whatever you'd fancy. One topic we'll be covering is progress on our charity site we're building as a group and planning the next steps.
