To help develop a comunity of drupal employers, workers and job seekers. I saw no group that existed, to help people who live in Minnesota. So I create this group, to help add to our support and help grow Drupal within Minnesota.
Thank You.
March TC Drupal User Group Meeting
Time for another user group meeting. We don't have a specific topic, so we are open to suggestions. We should have plenty to talk about, since so many of us attend DrupalCon last week. Leave comments with feedback!
Location:
Advantage Labs Offices in the IATP Building
2104 Stevens Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55404
Parking available on the street. Come around back to the ramp door to be let in or buzz us from the Stevens Ave entrance.
February TC Drupal Meeting
The Mobile Drupalbus Sprint to Drupalcon is coming up on March 6. Come help us organize the topics we'll work on during the sprint (e.g. module upgrades, documentation, general support, etc.) and make sure we've got any/all necessary planning and prep work set before we all set foot on the bus.
For non-riders, we'll need all the input we can get to help determine what will best serve our local as well as the general Drupal community. Perhaps we can even arrange some live virtual sprint participation for those unable to join us on the bus itself.
For more info about the Drupalbus check out: http://groups.drupal.org/node/120989
As always, the meeting will offer time for other questions, announcements, networking and, of course, pizza and your favorite beverages (please feel free to bring some for sharing).

A few nights ago, I listened to the mp3 from this Drupalchix panel at the DrupalCamp LA. (And many congrats to the organizers Rain Breaw and Nicole Bluto for their smart leadership!) http://2009.drupalcampla.com/drupalchix (see also, http://groups.drupal.org/node/23188)
One of the speaker/facilitators (Rain, I believe) talks about the film industry and how grants are available to support and encourage aspiring women directors. I definitely know a number of women who were able to develop their own visions and voices with the support of various arts grants.

Web Design Workshop (including Drupal!) in Minneapolis for designers, writers, editors, project managers & other creatives
I'm hosting a one day workshop and seminar in Minneapolis about the things you should know before you design your first website: it's geared towards people who are somehow involved in the process of creating a website.
If you're a designer, writer, editor, project manager or like-minded creative, you'll learn about the parameters that HTML provides to you; what the content management system Drupal can do for you and your clients; and simple, simple project management for web projects using Basecamp. Registration is online and there is an early bird fee if you register before 9/1.
