Hello,

I'm a Pittsburgh native that spent 14 of the last 16 years in State College/Baltmore/DC. I moved back to the area in 2021 and, from what I can tell, it seems like the Drupal community in Pittsburgh has waned a bit (at least, in communication/events/etc.) since I'd attended a Drupal Camp PA in, I think, 2015.

I was hoping to either find where people are still getting together and collaborating (if I'm just missing it) or to volunteer to try and get things started back up again. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Not sure where the best way to get connected, but I know there's #pennsylvania channel in the Drupal Slack that you could drop in on. I also recommend the quarterly meetups of WNYDUG https://groups.drupal.org/western-new-york; it's more of a "Lake Erie" NY-PA-OH group these days. I'd also look out for the next Erie Day of Code https://eriedayofcode.com if you're willing to drive up; they should be restarting that this year or next.

There's a good number of universities and other groups using Drupal in PA (I'm up in Erie, PA) so hopefully we can get something going.

The check's in the mail. . . .

Thank you for plugging the quarterly @WNYDUG online meetups before I did, Deg!

These have been going on since 2011, IIRC, and everyone from around the Drupal circuit is welcome to join in.

If there's sufficient demand, we could start running them more often.

I second Erie Day of Code! It always informs and makes use of its venue to the fullest.
