Hi Everyone,

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for session proposals for DrupalGov Canberra 2016 is 5pm Thursday 17 December 2015 (today!).

We really want Australian talented Drupal people to present at the conference, with a diverse representation.

So get your submission in now so you can share your Drupal tips, tricks, and ideas on the stage on 8 February 2016.

Submit your session proposal here, http://drupalgov.org/node/9

If you have an idea for session, but not a lot of detail at this stage. That's OK, submit a proposal anyway!

Happy Christmas!
Justin

Let's Celebrate D8 in Sydney! Sign Up today: http://www.meetup.com/drupalsydney/events/226089455/

Come on down to the King St Brewhouse at King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour to celebrate the long awaited launch of Drupal 8. Free drinks and food will be available from 6pm through to 8pm. We will kick on long after that.

Want to get involved?

With yesterday's release of Drupal 8 RC 1, we're pressing ahead quickly with a version of aGov for Drupal 8. We've just completed the port of the aGov 3 theme, and plan to have a release on https://www.drupal.org/project/agov by the end of October.

This will mean that Government organisations looking to move to Drupal 8 will be able to do so with the ease of installing a regular aGov site.

As part of the release, we'll be running a beta program for anyone that wants to test the release and be involved in structured feedback sessions, so please sign up via https://agov.com.au/updates

Komosion is looking for a Drupal professional with 5+ years experience implementing, developing and supporting critical web applications using Drupal and PHP technologies. This engagement is initially for a 3 month contract however extensions may be offered for the right candidate.

Hi everyone,

Not as much general activity here in GDO/aus these days, so thought it might be good to get a bit of an update out there on what's going on about the place...

There was a camp in Byron bay last month, one planned for Sydney in a couple of weeks I believe, and I've heard a compelling rumour that something is afoot in Melbourne for late in the year.

Regular meetups happening around the place, and some new players popping up around the place.

Are we all flat out busy?

Have people started building with Drupal8?

Anyone heading to Drupalcon Barcelona? (I am!)

We are organising DrupalCamp in Byron Bay.
- Date: Sun, 19 July (with possibility to add Saturday if there is enough interest).
- Location: Byron Community Centre, Byron Bay

So use this discussion to let us know:
- if you would like to attend
- if you would like to present
- if you would like to be a sponsor
