It's time for another LA Drupal meetup! We're being graciously hosted by Causecast at their offices in Santa Monica on May 25th, 2010. Please join us!

Attending the LA Drupal meetups is one of the best ways to meet and talk with other Drupaleros. Whether it's about finding solutions to problems you've been having, sharing something you've learned or just meeting interesting like-minded people, the LA Drupal meetups are an essential resource for Drupal professionals and hobbyists alike.

We're officially announcing the 2011 version of SANDcamp a little earlier this year! :)

Why? Well, the dates are set by the NFL (weekend between the end of the playoffs and the superbowl). And we're getting the same awesome venue again, thanks to the Balboa Park Online Collaborative and the San Diego Sports Museum. So why not?

Website for 2011 is on it's way.
