Announcements

The Southwest Drupal Summit is happening at the end of this month in Houston, TX & they've got some great speakers lined up: http://swdrupalsummit.com/. Katherine Druckman, aka "Webmistress", from Linux Journal & I got to chatting after she posted a D7 is released article: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/drupal-7-officially-here. Long story short, she gave us a $50 off coupon for the event.

Just a quick note for anyone with an iOS device and a Drupal site that the Drupad app is on sale for $1 right now, down from $5. So if you hadn't gotten around to buying it yet, now's the time.

Registration is now OPEN!

We're expecting an incredible lineup of speakers here in Houston, and you do not want to miss this event. Please help spread the word to anyone you know in our area and beyond who is interested in web design and development, as this will be a fantastic opportunity to learn not only about Drupal, but web technology in general.

Join us in welcoming speakers like:

Angela Byron - Drupal 7 maintainer and Lullabot rockstar

Narayan Newton - noted scalability expert and Drupal.org system administrator

SandCamp 2011 is fast approaching, only six weeks and counting and less if you count holidays! David and Burt are coordinating logistics and acting PM to provide some support to our volunteer team.

Burt has entered several tickets but I'm not sure that Open Atrium is sending out email notifications, can someone check that cron is running properly?

We are very pleased to announce Kieran Lal as our keynote speaker for the upcoming SandCamp 2011. More info to come soon. This year's sessions are proving to be varied and interesting. Register now at Sandcamp.org.

SandCamp 2011 will take place the weekend of January 8-9, 2011 in Balboa Park - Hall of Champions, San Diego. If you haven't registered already, head on over to http://2011.sandcamp.org and let us know you're coming.

We have had this group for a little while now, and hopefully we have gathered enough subscribers to get a small group together to discuss organizing our Inland Empire group.

It would be great if we could get a few folks together at a local cafe to discuss moving forward. The goal would be to get to know one another and find any consensus that may exist with regard to objectives for this group, potential meeting areas, potential meeting times, and if needed any areas for separate meetings that may need to be targeted toward edges of our population area.
