I am volunteering at BAD Camp but my car is currently out of commission.

Is anyone driving down to BADCamp and want to take a ridesharer?
I can help by paying for part of the fuel costs. Thanks

Fellow Drupaler,

Dear Drupal Expert,

The 2013 Pacific Northwest (PNW) Drupal Summit will take place October 5-6 in Vancouver, B.C. and we would like to invite you to present at the conference!

What's Happening

We're in the process of planning a Drupal Camp in Vancouver next year and are looking for volunteers who are willing to help out in the upcoming months. Dates and a venue for the event are still waiting for finalization but we're looking to have it on June 1-2 of next year (2012).

What We're Looking For

We're looking for keen and hard working individuals who are interested in helping out in the following areas:

• video production
• session planning
• training planning
• PR/marketing support for the camp
• Day-of-camp organization and registration

Contact Info

If you're interested or would like to volunteer in some other capacity, please email me at steve @ thejibe.com

Looking forward to hearing from you!

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.

Hey folks,

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit is coming up in just a few short months. It will be held in Vancouver, BC (an absolutely gorgeous town for those of you who have not yet had the privilege) October 2-3.

I know that Andy is planning on going, and I think I'll be up there as well.

Here is a bunch of information to get started with if you are planning on attending the contrib sprint this weekend, and consider yourself a non-coder/beginner/newb. If you can get through prepping all of this before the sprint, you will have a head start once you get there, otherwise I will direct people to go through this info when they are getting started.

Hey all -

Just another PSA here, to let everyone know there's now a Twitter account set up if you want to follow for meetup reminders, etc. at http://twitter.com/vandug. The group admins all have access to the password, and if one of us gets fancy, we'll set up some kind of hashtag retweeter system.

Hey Drupal fans!

I just wanted to walk you through some changes I just made to our Group's pages. Since the group was first set up, g.d.o has installed <a href="http://drupal.org/project/panels>panels to allow for more configurable user group pages, and after seeing what the LA Group and Aegir Group have done, I thought it was about time to spruce things up!

To outline what's been added:

I just cam across this: http://serviceweek.mozilla.org: "Mozilla Service Week [Sept. 14-21] is all about community – your community. We want you to find a way to use technology to make a difference in your neighborhood, your school, your library, your town. We welcome any act of service, no matter how small."
