As many of you know, we now have an official release date for Drupal 8. It's currently scheduled for November 19th and folks (all over the world) are getting ready to party!
https://groups.drupal.org/node/487993
Some folks in the Twin Cities (especially Chris Weber) are anxious to plan our own Twin Cities Drupal 8 release party - and preliminary preparations are already underway. But, we'd like to hear from the community:
1) How big should we make this? Will you be coming? Is this something that you might want to invite friends and/or clients to?
Read moreDrupal 8 Play Date (Nov. 7th)
Our first Drupal 8 Play Date went so well, we've scheduled another (and are considering even more, if there is sufficient interest).
November 7th will mark the one-month anniversary of the first official Release Candidate for Drupal 8.
It's time to start experimenting with Drupal 8, porting modules, and finding bugs that need to be fixed before the official release.
This will be a great opportunity for beginners and advanced coders alike to get an introduction to Drupal 8 and start setting up a site of their own.

Read moreGathering places for Drupal Developers
Is there any places in the Twin Cities that people meet on a weekly schedule to learn Drupal? I'd like to get a real quick overview of Drupal and dive right in. I'm still new to Drupal. I know there's the monthly meetup but that is still a little bit away. If there's such a place where Drupal learners gather then I would love to know. I don't mind paid learning suggestions also.
Thanks
