TVDUG Tri-Valley Drupal Users Group Monthly Meeting - Monday Oct. 17th, 2011 6:30pm
At the last TVDUG meeting, it was suggested to do a sort of walkthrough of creating a Drupal site to learn site building best practices in place of a presentation. Our next TVDUG meeting will therefore be structured differently. I'll be in the drivers seat this time conducting an open-ended, DIY session based on member feedback and some ideas that have been swirling around in my head.
- Setting up a wysiwyg interface and other useful contrib modules
- A few dos and don'ts
- An administrator's tour of Drupal
- Troubleshooting

Detailed Descriptions of Meetups
When editing and adding meetups below, be as descriptive as you'd like. It may be helpful to businesses and traveling community members for them to have as much information as possible.
Frontend Drupal / Design 4 Drupal
The Frontend Drupal / Design 4 Drupal meetups are on the 4th Tuesday and are usually in Culver City, CA. They focus on design, theming, usability, typography and other frontend-related topics.
With enough notice, Downtown Los Angeles Drupal organizers can produce special events at Droplabs on the 4th Wednesday in Downtown Los Angeles.
Droplabs already hosts several Drupal meetups each month, including the High Performance Drupal and general Downtown Los Angeles Drupal meetups. These meetups have had attendance of between 20-65 attendees.
The San Gabriel Valley Drupal meetups are on the 4th Thursday in San Gabriel Valley (usually Pasadena, CA). They have a general focus and have an attendance of between 15-30 attendees.
The San Diego Drupal Users Group meetups are on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. We have a mixed structure with some planned content and some ad-hoc content, and we usually have a small social meetup at the Prado down the street afterwards.
The San Diego North County DUG meetups are on the 4th Thursday of every month in Carlsbad, CA at the NAMM headquarters in the Museum Of Making Music. This meetup averages about 10-15 users, most of which are seasoned Drupalers. Content is purely ad-hoc, and you may be asked to talk about what you've been doing recently.

About this page
This is a list of the known Drupal user groups in California. Here are some of the things that can be done with this information:
- It is now much easier to find the California groups you'd like to join. Just click the name of the group you want to join and click the "Join" link in the sidebar of that group's page.
- If you are creating a new group in California, list it here to let others know about it.
- Depending on how #1074208 (Add a location field to group node) goes, a California-specific map showing the user groups can be created using this information (e.g. a Google map with markers showing the locations of all the groups and their meetups)
- Add your ideas here!
