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!

Are you new to Drupal or the Hollywood 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 focusing on Drupal Goes Hollywood, a presentation on how Drupal is being used by movie studios, including Disney, Paramount Pictures, NBC Universal, Fox, Participant Media, and more. More details TBA.

Those interested in attending this meetup remotely are welcome to join us via WebEx.

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.

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, March 27, 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!

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!

We're scheduling an extra special Drupal event this Saturday, January 25, 2014, and you're invited!

This is a mega event with four separate activities, including code sprints and expert Drupal mentoring. Join us for any or all of the following, including the Drupal Sprint Weekend: Los Angeles; having a GLADCamp.org website sprint; open lab hours for attendees of the module development boot camp; and a FREE video learning and mentoring workshop using Build a Module.com videos.

Agenda

Drupal Sprint Weekend

The annual Global Drupal Sprint Weekend is upon us and anyone interested in learning more about Drupal core and how the Drupal software project is managed and developed will be guided and mentored in the Drupal Way.

We'll help you select tickets in the core issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal to work on so that together as a group we can move Drupal 8 closer to a release date. See https://groups.drupal.org/node/332998 for more details.

GLADCamp.org Code Sprint

Thanks to an amazing team and help from our design and development partners, the GLADCamp.org website is now up! Before we open user registrations and session submissions, the website needs help from volunteers in our community.

We'll be updating the GLADCamp.org website, including descriptions of the non-profit summit and venue and hotel information, and cataloging any remaining bugs in the issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/issues/gladcamp  

Open Lab Hours for the Module Development Boot Camp

This weekend is the last best chance for attendees of the Module Development Boot Camp to participate in open lab hours at Droplabs. The boot camp instructors will be on hand to help boot camp attendees finish their class projects and get them published to Drupal.org.

FREE video learning and mentoring with Build a Module.com videos

That's right, we're also doing a mentored Drupal training! If you're interested in learning more about Drupal, site building, theming, module development, change management, or anything else, come with your laptop or tablet and a pair of headphones. The staff at Droplabs will set you up with a day pass to Build a Module.com and help create a video playlist for you to gently climb the Drupal learning curve at your own pace.

Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp (GLADCamp) is a free, 3-day conference for All Things Drupal on March 7th, 8th & 9th, 2014, at the Hilton Pasadena & Convention Center in Pasadena, California.

We're planning a conference that's packed with 3 full days of activities, including sessions, presentations, trainings, topic-based summits, a job fair, a barn raising to benefit a local non-profit, receptions, and more!

Our community members are also planning their own events to coincide with the conference, including client meetings and company retreats.

The 1st Tuesday of the month is coming up and it's time for the next Downtown Drupal meetup! We're meeting at Sensis Agency in Downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, 2014 from 7-9pm.
