Tucson and Southern Arizona

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Our mission is to provide an open and timely forum to discuss Drupal-based issues for the Tucson and Southern Arizona community. Potential discussion topics include "Should I choose Drupal?", "Building a Drupal Site Step-by-Step", and "Theming in Drupal for Designers".

Bookmans Entertainment Exchange is willing to sponsor the group and host monthly meetings. Interest in Drupal is growing quickly in Tucson. On March 3, 2009, Bookmans itself released its new Drupal 6 website, http://bookmans.com. The University of Arizona has also recently announced its official support for Drupal, http://drupal.arizona.edu/. The Tucson Digital Arts community (http://tucsondigitalarts.com/) has also expressed interest. Our goal is to foster development of Drupal, and even encourage the release, support and maintenance of modules.

We welcome anyone with an interest in Drupal.

    Drupal Training

    I thought free Drupal hands-on training in the past when I was working for University Information Technology Services. UITS is no longer offering those workshops. I'm now working for the Social & Behavioral College's Tech Department.

    I may be able to offer the Drupal hands-on training again for a cost. Hopefully, the workshops would be more in depth and cover more areas like advanced views and multimedia. The workshops may also be available to non-UA people through the UA Outreach College.

    Would anyone be interested in taking the workshops even if they were at a cost?
