Tucson and Southern Arizona

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://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.

First DUG Meetup

Hey guys,

Any thoughts or opinions on when/where the first meetup should be?

I'm thinking sometime mid-May, in the evening? Bookmans offered up their conference room, CreativeSlice has offered their space, and ITT Tech seems to be a possibility as well.

As for a first topic, I'm thinking a "How to get started with Drupal" tutorial. Lemme know what you think! [=

How are things in Tucson?

I lived in Tucson 1997 - 2002 and I really miss it. I moved back to the Boston, MA area where most of my family is located.

Around 2000 I was a freelance web developer. Things were tough and they got tougher, part of the reason I went back to Boston :-(

What is the market like these days for web developers?

How's the weather?
