The 1st Tuesday of the month is here again and it's time for another Downtown Drupal Meetup! Join us via webcast on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 between 7-9pm Pacific. This meetup is free.
Are you new to Drupal or the Downtown Drupal meetup? Come learn about Drupal and how others like yourself are using it for their project, business or organization. We promise not to talk down to you. Those who would like to attend remotely are welcome to join us via webcast.
Tonight we're doing something a little different and will be dedicating the entire meetup to a Drupal Clinic, also known as Users Helping Users. This is a chance for members of the community to help and be helped by others with whatever questions and problems they're having with Drupal.
Please note that while Users Helping Users is not designed to be a replacement for bona fide consulting from a Drupal professional that there are plenty of Drupal experts and professionals who attend our meetups and sometimes they need help, too!
- Are you currently having a problem that you need help with?
- Do you have a presentation or job announcement that you'd like to share with the group?
- Is there a topic about anything you'd like to see a presentation on?
- Did you recently attend a great Drupal or tech event that you want to tell us about?
- Did you solve a problem recently and now have a solution to share with the group?
If you said "Yes!" to any of these questions, this meetup is for you.

Sorry I missed the meeting
Hi,
Seems like I am brain dead by the end of the day so it is hard to tune in on Zoom. Seems like I missed a lot of good information and probably even better conversations.
