Now in it's 14th year, OSCON is where all the pieces of the open platform come together.

Join us July 16-20, 2012 in Portland, OR for the annual gathering of open source innovators, builders, and pioneers.

Lightning Talks

The next Downtown LA Drupal meetup is on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 and will be at Droplabs, a Drupal event and coworking space in Downtown Los Angeles. At this meetup, we'll be featuring two presentations: Introduction to VPS Hosting and Managing Servers with Virtualmin, Featurize! and Business Model Generation for Drupalpreneurs.

Light food and refreshments will be served throughout the evening courtesy of our food and drink sponsor, Chernick Consulting. We are a full IT outsourcing organization that can help you make your computers do anything you want it to (except cook or do laundry). We have a great deal of experience following corporate policies and procedures and will gladly supply IT services for larger organizations with branch offices in Los Angeles.

For any changes to our agenda for the evening, stay tuned to this meetup announcement or click the Sign up button below (or both!) to be notified when the agenda has been updated.

DrupalCon Denver is going to come to a close, and its never been a DrupalCon without a code sprint to get things done! From 9am to 5pm tomorrow, there is going to be a code sprint happening at the Conference Center and the Hyatt Regency. I am definitely going to be participating (I'll be at the core office hours sprint) and it would be great to see others in LA represent!
