Hey Vancouver Drupalers!

Just wanted to make you aware of a couple of new developments with the Vancouver Drupal Users Group. As many of you know, Dale McGladdery has decided to step down from his role of group coordinator and I'd like to take the time to publicly thank him for all his work in helping this group be what it is today! The second thing I wanted to make you aware of is that Glenn Hilton, the President of ImageX Media, will be joining me to help organize topics/events and promote the group. One of the first steps for improving our promotions is that we've decided to create an extension of the group on Meetup.com as a way to better manage group RSVPs and spread our reach out to others who may not be aware of our main VanDug site. Meetup.com offers a great means for promotions and also for building community through photosharing, feedback threads, etc. However please note that the Meetup.com site is NOT intended to replace our VanDug site, but rather just be a tool to supplement it as events will continue to be cross promoted on various sites.
