ABOUT

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.

EVENTS
Drupal After Dark: The Hobbit
Our San Gabriel Valley meetup coincides with the Holidays in both November & December. So instead of taking you away from your families, we're going to have some fun instead. Get ready to get geek on with your Hobbit feet! That's right, we'll be having a Drupal After Dark to go watch the midnight showing of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey!
We'll first be joining our friends at the San Gabriel Valley Linux User Group for their monthly meeting. The December topic is on Puppet/Chef. Their meetup starts at 7pm @CalTech. Afterwards, we go to a good local eatery with pretty good Mediterranean food at Burger Continental. After that, we'll head over to the Arclight in Pasadena & get in line for the movie.
Happy Holidays everyone & we hope you can join us for the movie (or maybe some Puppet AND Hobbits)!

Downtown Los Angeles Drupal Meetup at Sensis Agency and via WebEx on December 4, 2012: Powering SDG&E with Drupal and DrupalCamp Planning Meeting
The general Downtown Los Angeles Drupal meetup is now on the 1st Tuesday of each month! We're meeting on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at Sensis Agency in Downtown Los Angeles. Those interested in attending this meetup remotely are welcome to join us via WebEx.

Powering SDG&E (San Diego Gas & Electric) with Drupal
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is sending Matt Grill and Dan Montgomery from their IT Department to talk to us about their use of Drupal. Sensis Agency, our host for this meetup and a full service cross-cultural ad agency with digital at its core, produced a re-branding and re-launch of the SDG&E website last year on Drupal 7.
Since the launch, the IT Department at SDG&E has started to implement responsive design elements into their site. Matt and Dan will be telling us about Drupal as an enterprise-level solution and their work to continue to modify their website over the past year.
DrupalCamp Planning Meeting
We're planning a new DrupalCamp at the University of Southern California (USC) in 2013, tentatively named GLADCamp (Greater Los Angeles Area Drupal Camp). At this meetup, we'll be devoting an hour to growing our team of organizers and discussing the following:
- Findings from our DrupalCamp Site Visit to USC
- Identifying successes and challenges from Drupal Design Camp LA, the last camp we organized in October, 2012
- Choosing the name, size and scope for the event, and begin booking the rooms

IE Drupal in December?
A quick update on the Inland Empire Drupal group. I am currently looking for another venue as the HMC office is currently unavailable. Possible dates for a meetup are Dec 8th or 15th. I am open to any suggestions for venue as looking to get this wrapped up and set by Friday. It may just turn into a casual get together to talk Drupal over some festive drinks and pizza. Unfortunately, Chris Grant's dad is currently ill so he is tending to his family while I continue with the organization of the group. Chris will resume organization of the group as appropriate.
Thanks.
