It's DrupalCampCT time once again! We'll be making an official announcement and plan to launch the DrupalCampCT 2014 website within the next several days. Save the date: Plans are to hold the fifth annual DrupalCampCT at Yale University on Saturday, August 23, 2014.

We're actively looking for people interested in helping to organize DrupalCampCT 2014.

Please send an email to Mark at drmarkafriedman [at] drmarkafriedman.com if you are interested in helping us out.

As some of you might have read, we posted the next Central CT Drupal meetup for May 8th. So starting with our meetup in May, the central ct drupal meetup will be meeting the Second Wednesday every month, instead of the 3rd Tuesday every month.

The group has had a great working relationship with New Horizons and New Horizons has been very accommodating and has a great facility for us to use. So when New Horizons asked if we could move our meetup to align with some of the other meetups they hold the second Wednesday each month, we decided that it was a good idea.

In an effort to expand the reach, size and attendance of our group and meetups, we are in the process of opening more lines of communication. Recently, Matt (mwetmore) started tweeting @ctdrupal and created a LinkedIn group. To further support this effort, we have created a group on Meetup.com and a new Facebook page. But, simply having these new channels will only get us so far. We are reaching out to ask for your help in getting these off the ground and attractive to newcomers. If you would please do any/all of the following, we would certainly appreciate it!

The Central CT Drupal Meetup is happy to announce, after a long search, that our new meetup location is New Horizons in Bloomfield, CT. New Horizons (http://www.nhconn.com/ is one of the premier IT training facilities in Connecticut and in the U.S.

New Horizons has offered us dedicated room once a month for our meetup, which consists of: wifi, computers, projectors, room for 20+ people and plenty of parking. The facility also opens up the possibility of a weekend meetup, playday, or training day, all for free and can hold over 300 people.

Registration is now open

DrupalCampCT is a full-day, no-cost event, structured around the open-source content management system, Drupal, which includes knowledgeable speakers, informative workshops, impromptu birds-of-a-feather sessions, and invaluable opportunities to network with other Drupalists in and around the Nutmeg State!

We expect attendees to be a good mix of experienced Drupalists and newcomers to Drupal; developers, themers, content managers and project leaders; and consultants, corporate professionals, academics and passionate hobbists.

We will need to find a new meeting space for the Central CT Drupal Meetup. I have several phone calls and emails out to different possibilities, however, as of today, I am still looking for a new location.

If you have a suggestion, location or contact for a location that we may consider, please let me know.

We would like a place that can hold up to a dozen people, and ideally, with a projection system and access to the Internet.

We will meet at Luna's Pizza on Tuesday 4/17 for our next meeting at 5:30pm or so, and worst case, will head over to a Panera's Bread for our meeting.
