Atlantic Canada

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

We're a drupal group servicing the Atlantic Canada region, which includes the provinces of New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland.

Why such a large area? Canada, and Atlantic Canada specifically, is a very small population over a very large area. The Atlantic region has a total combined population smaller than many major global cities, with a total population of 2,348,901 as of 2014. We have some amazing people broken up across this vast area, and they are looking for ways to meet, grow, share knowledge and resources.

The primary goal is to share resources and evangelize drupal to those who may be looking for a CMS of choice, or for developers who are looking for more than their current CMS solution provides.

Secondarily, we are looking to promote Drupal usage for those entering the web development, and site-building world, and get them considering drupal as part of their toolset, while also encouraging best practices and methodologies.

EVENT DATE CHANGE

We are moving back the 2017 Drupal North Summit to August 25th-27th.

We’ve made this change as we realized the original July date was not the ideal timing for the event. Out of consideration, respect, and in support for other Drupal events in the general region, we have chosen to pick an alternative date.

We know it’s always a challenge with the community growing so fast and with events such as these Summits, Camps, and Cons, popping up all over the world, we can’t appease everyone and there may be some closely timed events. But, we are going to try our best!

Momentum

Lots of things happening behind the scenes!

  1. This group is no longer under moderation. It has been officially released and now will show up in groups listings and public search (see the issue here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2729379).

  2. This group needs to grow, so if you know anyone in the Atlantic region who is interested in Drupal, or might be considering it, please link them here.

  3. I have been hard and work planning some ideas for how the group will move forward. One of the first things is I've been working on a v1 logo (attached)
