Please respond if you would be interested in attending on February the 20th, and which, or all, of these locations work for you:
27 Mix - Newark
JJ Bitting - Woodbridge (Although, I remember Ed saying something about this place)

Read moreHow to explain security updates to site owners
I have a number of smaller clients on Drupal. Since Drupal gets updated more frequently than Wordpress, and since (for 7 anyway; maybe 8 will be different) someone with a certain skill level with Drupal and FTP has to still do core updates, it is an extra running cost that Wordpress, for all intents and purposes, does not have (all updates can be done via the GUI and by the site owner).

If you are already going to the camp, can you help with this? You don't need to be expert at everything, just comfortable helping others with one or a few Drupal topics in a hands-on way.
