User group meeting

This month we'll all share something about the tools and techniques that we use to make our work easier, faster, or better. Here's some general topics to get your ideas flowing:
- A browser extension
- An app
- A command-line tool
- Something that you use to test your work
- Something to automate repetitive tasks
Thanks to Drupalize.Me for sponsoring this month's event.
The Working Centre
43 Queen St. S. Kitchener, Ontario
This is the same place that we met in October (just across the street from our old location). The Working Group have graciously allowed us to use this great space permanently. Thanks to Charles for setting that up.

Comments
Waterloo Region Drupal Users Group — November meetup — CANCELLED
Many of the regular out-of-towners won't be making it in due to the snow, and some of the regular KW folks also won't be making it in. So we'll cancel for this month.
We usually skip the December meetup (it would land just before Christmas), so we'll see you again in January.
