July Brewpal at the NW Lucky Lab
Join us for the July edition of Brewpal! On the fourth Tuesday of each month, we get together to work on projects, ask questions of our fellow Drupalers and have a pint.
As you may know, this year we've been rotating the venue of the Brewpal meetup. The criteria includes free wi-fi, a large public space that's family friendly, bar service (rather than table service), all while being close-in and easy to get to by public transit. This month (July 28th), Brewpal will take place at the NW Lucky Lab (1945 NW Quimby).

OSCON ticket for sale
I'm selling an OSCON bronze pass - I recently won it at a raffle event and I'm going to be traveling and can't use it myself.
I'm selling the pass for $1000 (reg. price $1695). Contact me at ELiedel@aol.com - I can register you directly so I don't need to have OSCON transfer the ticket (and it's too late for that anyway).
Thanks.

Drupal Frontend Meetup - July 2015 - Automated Front End Regression Testing
Last month we canceled and the month before that Austin Prohl stepped down as organizer of this meetup. Then Frank Anderson volunteered. This month we will be going over Automated Front-end Regression Testing.
Automated Front-end Regression Testing is the process of taking a screenshot of the way the site looks on production and then taking a screenshot of the way the site looks on test and then comparing the two. Automated Front-end regression testing adds this process to your CI. We will be looking at Wraith, phantomjs and casper.

I've talked with several people over the last few months about Sharon Ellison's work. Donna Benjamin and I have conspired to get Sharon to offer a workshop on Friday, July 17.
This workshop is for you if you've ever:
- played and replayed a conversation in your head and wished you could do it differently
- lain awake at night planning your response to a particularly difficult issue or post
- wished you could do a better job of saying no

Michael Prasuhn (https://www.drupal.org/u/mikey_p) will talk for a bit about how to "vet" a module. There are literally thousands of modules out there, so how is one to determine if it's the right one for your project? Find out!

Read moreMay Frontend Meetup -- Canceled -- seeking new Leader
I am canceling the frontend meetup again this month and stepping down as the leader of this meetup. I simply do not have the bandwidth to continue leading this group.
It would be great to keep it running, because I think it's been an asset to our community.
If one of you wonderful people wants to step in, awesome, let's keep on doing cool stuff. If not, we'll suspend the meetups for the time being.

Read moreInformal gathering at Life of Riley (in lieu of a formal May presentation)
Hello everybody!
Sorry for the short notice... there is some interest in a meetup even though DrupalCon is happening this week and quite a few of us are missing the meetup because of it. So let's get together for an informal gathering to talk about everything Drupal!
Let's meet up at the Life of Riley at 6pm at 300 NW 10th, either upstairs or downstairs depending on the crowd. I believe this is a 21 and over establishment. You'll recognize us by how many laptops are open (wi-fi is free).
Show up at The Life of Riley beginning around 6. I hope to see you there!

May Drupal PDX Meetup Cancelled because DrupalCon
We had limited response to the idea of a meetup during the week of DrupalCon, so I'm canceling the May meetup. (It would have been May 13th.) We'll see you at the May Brewpal though!
Have fun at DrupalCon, those of you lucky enough to attend! We'll recap on some of the things you learn there when we get back together in June, so take notes!
