The University of Minnesota Drupal User Group works to share knowledge and resources, find solutions to shared challenges, and enable effective use of Drupal at University of Minnesota campuses across Minnesota. Staff, students, and faculty are all welcome here.
We will strive to be a bridge, not a silo, and encourage participation and sharing with others in our communities, be they geographical (Twin Cities at g.d.o) or professional (Higher Education).

Want to help build a chatbot for Drupal Slack? Chatbot hack night on Tuesday.
Tomorrow night is a hack night at the MN Bot Makers meetup. I'm planning to hack on the Dragonbot used by the Backdrop CMS community. I've heard rumor that there MIGHT also be interest in having a chatbot in the main Drupal Slack channel. I don't think they have one yet.
Maybe we need one for our TCDrupal Slack channel.
My point is - that if you are interested in learning about chatbots and your interested in contributing something back to the Drupal community, this might be an interesting opportunity. If you want to hack on your own chatbot, that's cool too!
