The next general Downtown Los Angeles Drupal meetup is on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 and will be at Droplabs, your FREE Drupal event and coworking space in Downtown Los Angeles. Those interested in attending this meetup remotely are welcome to join us via WebEx.

The presentation will focus on administering a Drupal site from a beginner's stand point and both the positive and negative experiences that come with that.
