More details to come, but our venue sponsor Causecast.org has agreed to allow LA Drupal a night of celebrating. Every monthly meeting is a celebration of Drupal, but for December we will be celebrating our local community - so if you would like to help sponsor drinks, raffle prizes, and/or food then please contact the LA Drupal organizers for full details.
For this end of the year meeting we will not have any formal presentations, but instead only 5-minute Lightning Talks: come show off your latest favorite module, show off your latest Drupal work, show off a site you cannot live without that runs on Drupal. People who finish on time get an extra raffle ticket for Drupal related prizes.
We do not plan to have formal setting available as the entire night will be filled with music, networking, and our random 5-minute Drupal Lightning Talks, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Invite your co-workers. Many regional Drupal groups are invited so expect a good crowd.
When? Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 - 7:30PM-10PM

LA Drupal meets at least once a month, bringing together professional and upcoming talent from the world of Drupal. This month our meeting will include the following agenda:
-
Mobile Drupal Sites - a discussion on Drupal sites going mobile. Tom Boone, an LA Drupal member, will be spearheading this talk and you should bring your mobile-Drupal questions.
-
Drush on Windows - the uber-popular command line tool, Drush, runs on any platform. Last month Chris Charlton showed Drush on Mac OS X (Unix), and Nickolas will be showing Windows users this month how to reduce Drupal updates from hours & minutes to seconds!
-
Firebug Lite - All web developers & designers are now relying on the Firebug extension for Firefox web browsers to help debug their JavaScript & CSS. For years Firebug has offered a version that works in any other web browser, allowing us to debug CSS reliably in Safari, Opera, or Internet Explorer! Firebug Lite is free, and there's even a Drupal module for it. This lightning talk is by Chris Charlton and will show you how Firebug Lite (module) works cross-browser in just seconds!
-
Bad Camp 2009 - some of us locals are going to the "Bay Area" Drupal camp next month. Highlights of the camp can be shown/discussed.
-
DrupalCon San Francisco 2010 - that's right, the next official Drupal conference will be in San Francisco, California. Yup, just North of us. If there are details to share with us locals, then we'll hear it. Otherwise, get ready for it come April 2010.
Lightning Talks - come prepared to talk for 5 min. about something you'd like to share with the Drupal group. Finished a new Drupal site? Find a cool new module? Keep it succinct - you get stopped at five minutes - but we'll be nice about it.

Whats an LA Drupal meetup like? Fun & Interesting!
LA Drupal meetups are free and open to anyone interested in Drupal from beginner to guru, but you have to bring a fun attitude and be willing to share or learn.
We have areas for networking, general topics, and more advanced learning and sharing. Presentations and a big breakout session at the end to chat and network.
We like to highlight and encourage folks with cool local projects to present at upcoming meetings. In the past year we've had presenters from Warner Brothers Records; hosting over a hundred artist sites on Drupal, StandUp2Cancer.org - over a million hits in one day during the airing of the show, and local shops such as www.ThisByThem.com, www.openChimp.com, www.chillco.com, www.exaltations.net, www.IJHANA.com, www.WorkHabit.com, www.AchieveInternet.com, and others. Topics have included How to build your first Drupal Module, Using Views 1 & Views 2, Panels module, Drush module, Theming, and Scaling Drupal & Cloud computing among others.
Have a topic you'd like to see? Add it here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/9220

Book Raffle - come win a Drupal related book!
Topics for the night:
-
Group discussion of mobile site development in Drupal. Tom Boone will speak briefly about his own recent experience creating a mobile version of a site and find out what others in the group have done so far in this area, to cover what tools/modules are available, what approaches work best in specific situations, what problems remain to be solved.
-
Drush 2.0 for Beginners - Tired of using FTP to update Drupal core and all the modules you use? Time to learn Drush. Chris Charlton will be giving a gentle intro to the community winning software known as Drush (Drupal-shell). Drush literally will save you hours every week managing all your Drupal sites. Drush is not a module, but instead a command-line "Terminal" application, where in one single command can update your Drupal core and ALL modules in under 1 minute! Chris will cover the basics of getting Drush running on a Mac/Unix/Linux environment. You can install Drush locally (great idea!) or on a web server (another great idea!).
-
Drupal Camp LA 2009 community recamp - we'll have a chunk of time where camp attendees can voice their favorite moments of the camp. Did you attend? Did you just love a certain session or two? If so, come voice the goods from the largest West coast Drupal event.
Main Presentation Area
Main presentation area holds up to 80 people and is geared towards general interest topics, especially geared towards people who are new to Drupal or the Topic(s) being presented. It is also a forum for sharing, asking questions.
