We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

Los Angles Drupal

LA Drupal is the hub for Drupal users in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas to network and collaborate; including Orange County, San Gabriel Valley, San Fernando Valley, Inland Empire, and the whole of Southern California. We promote and encourage open exchanges of ideas within the Drupal Community and also with the other open source communities (including PHP and MySQL).

Our main monthly meetup is held on the second Tuesday of each month. See our Calendar of Events, including job networking, trainings and social occasions.

Meeting Announcements

The meeting announcements on the home page are not up to date. When I went back top my email to get the meeting link (a little after 7) Meetup couldn't process my RSVP. Is this page used for meeting announcements anymore? If not, can a general posting be done to send people to Meetup? Can Meetup be configured to allow people into the event late?

Membership system for Drupal *

Does anyone have direct experience (either as a developer or user) of a Drupal8 membership system? There seem to be several choices for D7, including at least one based on Drupal Commerce, but I haven't found any that can handle simple individual membership that controls access to a portion of the site.

Ideally someone would have developer (or at least configurator) experience with a (or a collection of) modules that handle online payment for individual memberships. Membership can be signified with the presence of a particular role.

Short term engagement (job) at USC Marshall School of Business

USC Marshall School of Business is seeking someone with SQL experience to diagnose and repair some Stored Procedures that are failing. This is a short term gig, not a position opening.

I don't have all the details but from what I understand, there are some stored procedures and some are working and some are not. It sounds like there isn't any error handling to make sure that one procedure finishes before moving on to the next, or to throw an error if something fails.
