ABOUT
Our mission is to support and facilitate collaboration and cross training among Drupal users in the Inland Empire. This is a large area that includes cities such as Riverside, Corona, Chino, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, Temecula, Hemet & Murrieta. We welcome Drupal beginners & seasoned professionals - we hope to be a place where we can all network & learn something from one another.
Our meetups occur on the 2nd Thursday of every month in Ontario unless otherwise mentioned.
You might also want to check out some of the other Southern California groups if you can't make ours: Orange County, Los Angeles, High Desert, and San Diego.

Drupal Sprint Weekend
The annual Global Drupal Sprint Weekend is upon us and anyone interested in learning more about Drupal core and how the Drupal software project is managed and developed will be guided and mentored in the Drupal Way.
We'll help you select tickets in the core issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal to work on so that together as a group we can move Drupal 8 closer to a release date. See https://groups.drupal.org/node/332998 for more details.
GLADCamp.org Code Sprint
Thanks to an amazing team and help from our design and development partners, the GLADCamp.org website is now up! Before we open user registrations and session submissions, the website needs help from volunteers in our community.
We'll be updating the GLADCamp.org website, including descriptions of the non-profit summit and venue and hotel information, and cataloging any remaining bugs in the issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/issues/gladcamp
Open Lab Hours for the Module Development Boot Camp
This weekend is the last best chance for attendees of the Module Development Boot Camp to participate in open lab hours at Droplabs. The boot camp instructors will be on hand to help boot camp attendees finish their class projects and get them published to Drupal.org.

That's right, we're also doing a mentored Drupal training! If you're interested in learning more about Drupal, site building, theming, module development, change management, or anything else, come with your laptop or tablet and a pair of headphones.

Hi everyone,
I am a big fan of Packt Publishing (http://www.packtpub.com) and their model that supports print and e-books and keeps a repository of your purchased books in your account on their site - so you can always get a copy of your e-book if you lose it.
Packt Publishing is celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a good deal.
From June 26th through July 5th, Packt is offering all of its eBooks and Videos at just $10 each for any title!

In March, OC Drupal had the pleasure of having Kala from the local non-profit "From Goals To Wells" present her website as we all attempted to navigate through it trying to solve the problems at hand; albeit without success due to site.
This month, tentatively scheduled for Sat, April 19th 9a to 3p, we are going to go further in helping FGW achieve their goals by hacking through a website from the ground up.
Read moreAre you a non-profit? Do you need a new website? Apply for the Barn Raising at GLADCamp!
Today is our official call for barn raising applications at this year's GLADCamp, the Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp!
On March 9, 2014, we'll be building a website from scratch to include much needed functionality, design, and other work required by a local 501c3 non-profit organization.
This event is "Drupal for Good in action" and is a teach-and-learn opportunity for our local Drupal community and is a win-win-win for everyone.
What's a Barn Raising?
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_raising
- A "barn raising" describes a collective action of a community, in which a barn for one of the members is built or rebuilt collectively by members of the community.
- Barn raising was particularly common in 18th- and 19th-century rural North America. A barn was a necessary structure for any farmer, for example for storage of cereals and hay and keeping of animals. Yet a barn was also a large and costly structure, the assembly of which required more labor than a typical family could provide.
- Barn raising addressed the need by enlisting members of the community, unpaid, to assist in the building of their neighbors' barns. Because each member was entitled to recruit others for help, the favor would eventually return to each participant.
Just replace the word "barn" in the description above with "website" and you'll see that we've adapted this "barn raising" model for the digital world.

Hi everybody,
Lee Vodra and I (two of the founders of Droplabs, a Drupal-friendly coworking space in Los Angeles, and creators of the Coders with a Cause program) will be presenting on barn raisings and "Drupal for Good" in action at the Non-Profit Drupal Summit at GLADCamp next month.
Read morePlan and discuss the first Extreme Drupal Games (aka the "Golden Neckbeard" competition) for GLADCamp 2014
This year's GLADCamp conference will feature the first Extreme Drupal Games! This event will run throughout the conference, beginning on Friday, March 7th and ending when winners are announced at the closing of the conference on Sunday, March 9th.
We have a sponsor who will be donating 6 identical VMs (distro and stack TBD) for us to use during the conference. I've asked that each VM have a minimum of 2 cores and 4GB of RAM, but exact specs are still being worked out. These VMs are hosted at 1 Wilshire in Downtown Los Angeles, so there will be extremely low latency.
The plan right now is for up to 6 teams to compete over the course of the weekend, tuning both the stack and the Drupal application to get the best possible performance in the allotted time. The team with the fastest Drupal site at the end of the conference will be declared the winner.
Now that we have a date and time, the question is how we're going to load test and judge the teams. What are the rules? Do we test for both anonymous and logged in users? Will contestants be permitted to rip out pieces of the stack and install completely different ones? How about the use of premade scripts? Do we allow commercial software, or go 100% free and open source?

I just got a copy of the new "Drupal 7 Media" book available from PACKT Publishing (http://bit.ly/19C7xN0). It covers in great detail the best Drupal community modules for media integration. I will post a more detailed review later, but this book looks like a great resource for media integration in Drupal. If you are wondering how to work with media in Drupal 7, this is a book to checkout.

There's Earth Day for the planet and now there's Dries Day for Drupal. To celebrate, we're asking everyone in the community to spend the day on Drupal community projects: plan a camp, do a training, work on modules, push code, write documentation, read about Drupal 8 or whatever you find interesting. This is not a bad price to pay for all the great stuff in Drupal. If you're an employer, we encourage you to give your employees a paid day to work on Drupal.
It's simple to participate:
