Welcome to the Drupal Ottawa User Group. We will use this group to develop the Drupal community in Ottawa, to plan local events (DrupalCamps, informal get-togethers, etc.) and to share success stories and planned / completed drupal implementations. Public servants (this is Ottawa after all) interested in deploying bilingual / Common Look & Feel compliant governmental web sites will find colleagues in this group facing the same challenges related to the introduction of drupal in the federal government.
COMING SOON, Acquia Certified Developer Examination and Boot Camp
The Acquia Certified Professional program is the first program in the industry providing systematic, objective assessment to validate the skills and knowledge of Drupal developers, and is poised to become the gold standard for all those designing with Drupal. Comprised of 60 questions, the exam covers Fundamental Web Development Concepts, Site Building, Front End Development (theming), and Back End Development (coding).

Read moreFree Seminar on Keeping Drupal Secure
The question of whether or not open-source code is secure, is one that has frequently come up in the world of Drupal. To simply put it, the answer is a resounding yes.
Some the world's most highly secure websites like those of NASA and The White House are actually built on Drupal. In fact the US government has over 150 of its sites run on Drupal while Australia has just pledged to move all of its federal sites to Drupal as well. If Drupal is secure enough for some of the world's most powerful nations, surely the security question can be put to rest.

I was just sending a note to Lee Hunter to see if he's heading down to DrupalCon and figured I'd ask here who else might be going down from Ottawa.
I'd expect Peter to be there, know Pat's going. Who else from Ottawa is heading down?
