Drupal After Dark

You are invited to the Droplabs 3-Year Anniversary Party on Friday, May 9, 2013!

We've been offering unique, high quality events and affordable coworking and small business services for over 3 years and in 2013 we were recognized as the Top Drupal Location in the world. Come celebrate with us!

Much has happened since we opened to the public in Spring, 2011, and at the start of our party our members will have a brief retrospective and share their favorite moments. We'll also have quick announcements about what we're up to in 2014, including Drupal Commerce Camp and the next Drupal Development Boot Camp.

Don't worry, this event isn't a meetup with boring presentations. There will be plenty of food and drinks, as well as a raffle prize drawing and mingling and networking for most of the evening. The party is potluck-style, so bring something to share that you like to eat or drink. Bring something to share to throw on the grill!

The 1st Tuesday of the month is coming up again and it's time for another Downtown Drupal Meetup! Join us at Droplabs near Downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 between 7-9pm Pacific. This meetup is free and there will be food, drinks, and raffle prizes!

Are you new to Drupal or the Downtown Drupal meetup? Come learn about Drupal and how others like yourself are using it for their project, business or organization. We promise not to talk down to you.

At this meetup we're having Drupal Show & Tell. After some quick introductions and light news and announcements, we'll be going into 5-minute presentations (called lightning talks) on what each attendee is working on. Everyone who attends will be expected to present on something.

Did you recently attend a great Drupal or tech event that you want to tell us about? Are you currently having a problem that you need help with? Did you solve a problem recently and now have a solution to share with the group? You'll have up to 5 minutes to present and then up to 5 more minutes for Q&A with the other attendees. We'll be using a chess clock to make sure that everyone has enough time.

That's right, it's like Drupal speed chess! (The difference, of course, is that we're not really competing. We're here to teach and learn and not "smack down" anybody.)

Those interested in attending this meetup remotely are welcome to join the webcast. The same meeting format will apply to those who attend online. Be ready to present!

Join us today for happy hour! We're meeting between 5:00-6:30pm on April 30, 2014, at Barbara's at the Brewery.

There are no sponsors or presentations at this event. Just dinner, drinks and Drupal. Worldwide Drupal Happy Hour is on the last Wednesday of every month and is observed all around the world. Tonight's sister events include Portland, Oregon and New York City.

This particular happy hour event is prior to the Open Members Meeting at Droplabs the same evening at 7pm.

On the last Wednesday of each month at 7pm, Droplabs has an open stakeholders meeting with the Droplabs founders, keyholders and members of our community in and around Los Angeles, California.

These meetings are a great opportunity to kick back after a day of coworking, get to know your neighbors and coworking and request, offer and brainstorm new services and upcoming events to serve our members and larger community.

We have a great meetup this month in the San Gabriel Valley. Join us from 6-8pm at Fuller Theological Seminary, Glasser 110 on Thursday, April 24, 2014, for Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes, community Q&A, lightning talks and full-length presentations.

Are you new to Drupal or the SGV Drupal meetup? Come learn about Drupal and how others like yourself are using it for their project, business or organization. We promise not to talk down to you. Here's a testimonial from a happy attendee:

This is a very well organized and informative session. We got a good mix of senior developers and new comers and some in between. It is a pretty good turn out with 11 people considering it is in Pasadena right around rush hours. People are just terrific, very friendly and ready to help others. Feels like I have moved forward by leaps and bounds. Thanks everyone!

Drupal Goes Hollywood once again at the Hollywood Drupal Meetup! Join us again at Ciplex at their Hollywood office on Tuesday, April 15, 2014, between 7-9pm Pacific. This meetup is free and there will be food, drinks, and raffle prizes!

The 1st Tuesday of the month is coming up again and soon it will time for the next Downtown Drupal meetup! We're meeting at Opodz Coworking in Little Tokyo, Downtown Los Angeles, on Tuesday, April 1, 2013 from 7-9pm. Those interested in attending this meetup remotely are welcome to join us via WebEx.

To celebrate April Fools Days, this meetup features a presentation on Drupal Joke Modules and a review of what they do, from the classic Talk Like a Pirate module to the recent Password Backup & Restore module from the Droplabs module development boot camp. These may require bad judgement or just a sense of humor, but this will surely be an entertaining presentation for everyone!

At this meetup, we're having our usual news and announcements, as well as raffle prizes, community Q&A, lightning talks (which are short, bite-sized presentations) and featured presentations. Is there a presentation topic that you're interested in? Post a comment to either request or offer a presentation, or contact any of the organizers listed above.

My apologies for the last-minute notice, but a small group of us will be meeting at the Hilton Pasadena & Convention Center today after close of business. Join us!

We'll be taking a look at the venue and will be finalizing a few venue details, including the registration area, sponsor booths, pre-conference storage for our sponsors, etc., for next month's Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp. After the tour, we'll be getting a drink at Grill 168 to further plan and discuss the venue.

After taking some time off, we're excited to announce that Hollywood Drupal is starting up again and this time we're being hosted by our friends at Ciplex. Join us at their Hollywood office on Tuesday, February 18, 2014, between 7-9pm Pacific. This meetup is free and there will be food, drinks, and raffle prizes!

By the way, GLADCamp 2014 is just around the corner! This is taking place in the San Gabriel Valley so there should not be any reason us to not be involved. Besides attending we need to look for ways we can volunteer to help make the event amazing!
