NWDUG meets on the second Tuesday of the month and features expert help, discussions and demonstrations.
Bring your Drupal questions and problems, as well as any projects you'd like to demo.

We usually have a round up of all the Drupal news, one or two talks, followed by any other business before moving on to the pub. Specifics are announced on our Meetup group, https://www.meetup.com/nwdrupal/
We also have our own slack channel, DM @nwdug on Twitter for an invite.

Ambleside Weekend
We are aiming to get a bunch of people together to do a re-write of the current Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team website on the weekend of January 15th. All mountain rescue services in the UK are run by volunteers and rely on public donations to cover costs, so we are asking people to donate their time to build a website, have fun in the Lake District, and network with other Drupal developers.
Free accommodation will be provided at Langdale Youth Hostel on Friday and Saturday nights and there may be some form of car sharing going on.

City selection for DrupalCon 2010 still wide open
Please note that the list of cities from http://groups.drupal.org/node/26241 (as per the BoF in Paris) is just a list of possible suggestions. Please see the draft document that has been proposed for city selection guidelines: http://groups.drupal.org/node/27246
The goal is to publish that document at the end of this week (after incorporating feedback from the community) and to start receiving city proposals immediately after that. Since we need to have recommendations to give to the Drupal Association by October 15 the proposal phase will have to be short. The proposal phase will probably end October 1. After that we will have the proposals reviewed by the events agency to gather their feedback in time for the October 15 deadline.
If you want DrupalCon in your city/country in 2010 please review the document and add your feedback!

New Drupal Book : Drupal 6 Site Blueprints
<
blockquote>Bad news is always good news for the press. And so Vaughan Pyre has decided to take advantage of this and create a web site that will aggregate bad news and weird happenings from all over the world. The content of the site will be entirely derived from RSS feeds from several sources; each feed being automatically fetched and its items displayed as individual articles on the web site. Vaughan's intention is to create a lot of self-updating web sites which he intends to populate with Google ads for site users to click and click so that he can make a lot of money.
