Read moreNo DUG for June 2020
While we think it’s important to acknowledge the amazing work that has gone into Drupal 9, out of respect for the important protests that are happening right now in our city and beyond, it doesn’t feel like the appropriate time to celebrate.
Practically speaking, what’s happening right now in our world is incredibly distracting and would be very difficult to expect myself or any other DUG organizer or speaker to put something together for our DUG.
After discussing in Slack (#drupal-pdx), we've decided cancel the DUG on June 10, 2020, and postpone our D9 celebration to July.

Read moreHow are you feeling about in-person meetups right now?
Hi folks,
I wanted to get an idea of how people are feeling about in-person meetups in light of flu (especially COVID-19) concerns.
We have a DUG scheduled for next week (2nd Wed. of the month) and if people who regularly attend are planning NOT to attend due to flu concerns, perhaps we could do a video conference call instead.
What are your thoughts?
