Capital Camp and Drupal GovDays have combined and are now Drupal GovCon. This year’s conference is July 22 - 24, 2015 at the NIH Campus in Bethesda, MD.

The schedule is now live and we even have FREE training before and during the Con.

Krista Trovato will be doing a presentation on Drupal and Security at Bixal in Oakton, VA.

This has been rescheduled for 2/24 due to the weather.

Please join us for our meeting at ICF International! Prajwala Manchikatla will be presenting on Auto Scaling Drupal in a Cloud environment.

You're invited to join us for light appetizers and merry cheer as we bring in the holiday season.

Blackstone is graciously hosting us at their offices.
We'll have a few rounds of lightning-style presentations, because I know Drupalers always want to talk about Drupal. Reach out to @monicadear for the project, organization, or problem you want to talk about.

Please RSVP to the Meetup link so we get an accurate headcount for food/drinks.

Our regular meetup is the third Tuesday of every month - currently rotating between ICF and Bixal in Fairfax.

We'll start with some socializing, do a round of intros and presentations, more socializing!

Stan Ascher is a Senior Drupal Developer at Phase One Consulting Group. He is currently the lead front end developer on the US DOT project in good ol' Washington DC. He also does pro-bono work on the side for the Palestine Poster Project Archives and likes to share what he knows.

The people who attend predominantly work on Drupal in the service of international non-profits as well as social services and federal projects for education, the environment, civic engagement, health, families, women, and children.

Some ideas for what we'd like to learn about:
User Roles and Permissions
Git and Pantheon
Bootstrap and other helpful base themes
Implementing Maps (Location CCK & GMap)
Using Features
Content Workflow at your organization (re: writer, editor approval, publication, scheduler, push to social media)
Commerce vs Ubercart
Security
Calendars

The team at php[architect] (who run the longest running technical journal dedicated to the PHP programming language) are excited to invite you to attend our newest conference: php[world] - Happening this November 10-14th in Washington, D.C.

We've successfully run many conferences over the last 12 years, our main one being php[tek] in Chicago each May. But we've seen how PHP has been evolving over the years, and php[tek] is really focused on the core/bespoke PHP crowd.

Join us for our monthly Drupal NoVA meetup at Bixal. Jared Smith will provide an update on the current status of Drupal 8 and key initiatives and share his recommendations on what you can do to gear up for the Drupal 8 launch.
