The High Performance Drupal meetup now meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month. We're meeting again on March 6, 2012 and will be at Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency in Culver City located just two blocks from Media Temple, a familiar venue of Drupal meetups on the Westside.
LA Drupal meetups follow a basic format and start off with Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes and full-length presentations. As always, we'll also have community Q&A, during which time anyone in attendance can ask questions, divine answers from the crowd and give brief, 5-10 minute-long presentations known as lightning talks.
We'll finish off the night with more networking and a Drupal After Dark at 9:30pm.

About High Performance Drupal
What is the High Performance Drupal meetup about? The "high performance" part of the name is a catch-all to describe Drupal scalability, performance and benchmarking but we also discuss hosting, infrastructure, deployment, monitoring and highly repeatable processes. Also, this meetup has been held at coffeeshops in the past and the addition of caffeine makes our meetings feel as if they go faster and faster as the night goes on.
This is an LA Drupal meetup that focuses exclusively on advanced topics and there will not be a Users Helping Users portion to the evening.

As many of you know, the High Performance Drupal meetup we started 9 months ago is looking for a larger venue. After bouncing around Westside venues for a while, we've hunkered down at the Venice Grind coffeeshop, made it a regular, monthly meetup and put a call out for help with finding a new venue.
Gavin from the Downtown LA Drupal meetup last week has invited us to check out his space at Filter Digital in Culver City as a possible venue. Would anyone like to go there for a site visit tomorrow at 1pm?
In the tradition of other site visits that we've gone on, this visit to open to anyone interested in helping with our upcoming events!
