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.
Drupal 8 Release Party and Play Date: Omaha, Nebraska (USA)
Drupal 8 will be released on Nov 19, so let's get together (since it's been a while) and celebrate! Please RSVP now!
It's time to start experimenting with Drupal 8, porting modules, and finding bugs that need to be fixed before the official release.
This will be a great opportunity for beginners and advanced coders alike to get an introduction to Drupal 8 and start setting up a site of their own.
Anyone can spin up a Drupal 8 sandbox using one of several free hosting platforms and begin to play around.

We're going to have a great meetup. Depending on what most interests the group, I will bring along a couple of hot topics. For example, a controversy that occurred around workflow that occurred with my team (I'm looking for your advice!). I will also bring a couple of candidates for technical deep dives, and a couple of thought-provoking points about community (Drupal's or others) brought up by Erynn Petersen at Drupalcon Austin this year.

Hi all, I'd like to note the call for speakers is open for Nebraska Code Camp, held March 28th and 29th. You can submit a session through Feb 14. http://nebraskacodecamp.com/
I have attended these and they are incredible. However, they really need Drupal-related sessions. I've seen a lot of interest in Drupal continuing to emerge in the region and I think there would be a lot of interest. I think at least an introduction to Drupal would make for a great presentation.
