Welcome to the Groups site for the Nebraska Developers and Users Group, where we discuss, share and find ways to provide local face-to-face interaction which can support activities like hosting speakers, providing tutorials, Question and Answer sessions, establishing relationships with others in the geographic area, and generally expand the community of Drupal users.
As of 2024, our meetings are held bi-monthly in Omaha.
Other ways to connect:
• Slack: The #nebraska channel on drupal.slack.com
• Meetup: Omaha Drupal Meetup
• Twitter: DrupalNebraska
Even if you're from the surrounding areas, we won't hold it against you. You're welcome to join us in person at the meetups or chat in the #nebraska channel on drupal.slack.com. (I'm looking at you Denver/Colorado, Iowa, South Dakota, and Kansas City!)
If you want to get on our radar or get more involved, please share your contact information with us, and fill out our member strengths inventory to help us tailor the group to your needs.

Group page refresh
I took a little bit of time today to refresh and re-organize our group's homepage. I made some tweaks to the left sidebar to show a list of wiki pages and jobs (rather than full posts). The right side shows non-job listings posted to our group. I also added a tab for 'Members' that could probably use improvement, and a 'Jobs' tab that lists the full nodes of any jobs posted to the group. I wanted to put a long, one-row high grid of member pictures below the group description on the homepage itself, but there's no view appropriate for it yet.
