I've added two new events.
The 1st is on the 14th and is open to the worldwide drupal4Gov community. We have 15 call in lines and seating for 15 at the event.
And what ever will we be doing? Framing a Drupal4Gov ladder. Yep, Drupal4Gov ladder. Bryan Hirsch will be leading us in this effort. Please email me at kirsten.burgard2@va.gov to attend (phone or in person).
We are looking at all forms of government, so, state, provincial, international, school board, local, federal, etc... So, a nice assortment of folks will really make this a valuable lesson.
Then, on August 29th, OPM will be hosting the next Drupal4Gov quarterly event in DC. This event will be all about the Digital Strategy and includes sessions on Responsive Design, security, APIs and a room dedicated to the Drupal4Gov ladder. This event is restricted to Government employees only. If you're a contractor, your government agencycan get you a ticket if they send me an email with the names of their attendees.
Exciting things are happening around Government and Drupal. Hope lots of you are able to make it!

Drupal4gov ladder
We've started creating a curriculum for the Drupal4Gov ladder and will be doing our first Learning Sprint on August 29th. We will plan future Learning and Issue sprints and hope folks in governments around the world will going us in building government specific info into the ladder.
As for the August 29th event in DC, if you're in the area, join us at OPM. http://drupal4govtake7.eventbrite.com/ The sessions have now been announced and will include lots of good fun and of course a separate room for a Drupal4Gov learning ladder sprint (advanced Drupalers will get to do an Issue Sprint, too!).
The OPM hosted event is government employee restricted, but that does mean all government employees (state, local, international, doesn't matter, just be a government employee). We will release the first 20 contractor/vendor tickets on Friday from the waitlist. If you signed up and are a contractor/vendor, watch your email for the ticket.
Just a minor kind of drupal geeky girl and for the US government no less!
