Welcome to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Drupal Group -- the place to get involved with the Twin Cities Drupal community whether you're new, a core contributor to the Drupal project or somewhere in between. Register for the group to get posting privileges and to be notified of what's going on.
Looking to connect with other local friendly Drupal people? Check out the Events tab for a rundown of our regular meetups and other upcoming Drupal-related events.
You can also join your Drupal peers and mentors in a couple of places:
- Slack tends to be more active these days. Join https://tcdrupal.slack.com. If you need an invite go here to get an automatic invite to the Slack team
- IRC -- #drupal-twin-cities on irc.freenode.net -- to ask questions, propose ideas, socialize. Check out Drupal.org for more info about IRC and Drupal including how to create a new account and connect. Or come to the next local meetup and someone will help you get started.
Negative points?
P.S. who gives negative points to a fellow community member's posts without any discernible reason? I just voted my own post up to compensate. Sounds like something that would happen in the Perl community, which I originate from. Usually Drupalistas are friendlier. Strange.

Hi Everyone!
Just a reminder that this coming Wednesday, July 21, is our regularly scheduled user group meeting (third wednesday of the month).
Last month we helped Pam resolve a shipping issue she was having. This month -- let's organize and determine how we want to set up a how-to sharing and help email list or forum, so we can attract and help others as well as ourselves.
Additionally, any ubercart issues? Bring them (we'll have a projector and pizza) and we'll work together!

TC Drupal Users Group Meeting (July 28th)
We'll kick off the July TCDUG gathering with a demonstration of a suite of Drupal modules that let you manage email communications such as newsletters, content updates, or calls to action from your Drupal site. Keeping your content and communications in one system has enormous advantages -- which we'll talk about. Come find out about what's currently available for handling mail from Drupal and explore the roadmap for developing further functionality. The specific modules we'll be demonstrating include MLM, News, Send and MimeMail.

It's been predicted that the mobile device will surpass the PC as the primary method of accessing websites in the next 3 years. How do we address this as Drupal users and developers? That's what we'll be talking about this month. Since we are not experts in this arena, we're especially interested in anyone who has experience with mobile web development and its issues -- especially if that experience is related to Drupal. Please sign up and let us know if you have something specific you can share.
Read moreTC Ubercart Meeting
Why is it that it always seems to be crazy the week before our meeting and I end up getting out a late notice. Oh well, it ubercart time once again!
I'm working on a proposal for an ubercart site and as I work through the client's wishes, what goes through my mind is, "how can I do this in ubercart?"
At last months TC drupal meeting we did our favorite modules -- for this month's ubercart meeting, let's show and tell a feature we designed in ubercart.
Looking forward to seeing all of you on Wednesday at 7pm, in the conference room at:

Twin Cities DrupalCamp brainstorming
Seeing as Chacha threw out the gauntlet I thought I'd pick it up :)
I helped organize the rather successful Florida DrupalCamp 2010 (and helped a little with the 2009 one) and would love to help organize one up here; truth be told I was going to throw the idea on the table at the next local meetup, but I guess someone beat me to it ;-)
