Our mission is to connect Drupal users in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and surrounding areas. We get together monthly for presentations, site demonstrations, and hack nights. Our goal is to help new Drupal users get up to speed, foster the development of existing Drupal designers and Developers, and contribute to the larger Drupal community. The Research Triangle has a big concentration of technical folks, universities, and start-ups and we want to expose as many people as possible to Drupal and all that it offers.
Propose a meeting topic here.

TriDUG August Meeting - Resources for Using Sass & Haml with Drupal
I’ve not used Haml for anything ever, but I have used Sass for sites that I’ve coded by hand, though not with Drupal. With that in mind, I also haven’t watched these presentations, but I do remember the first one getting a lot of excited buzz at DrupalCon Chicago. Finally if you grow to love Sass, look into using the Compass CSS authoring framework that builds on Sass and makes it even more amazing:
The following presentations were made at the past two DrupalCons in the US:
DrupalCon Chicago 2011
Themeing Haiku with Haml, Sass, and Peroxide.
TriDUG August Meeting - Chrome Canary digression
The following blog post inspired me to start using Chrome Canary: http://jtaby.com/2012/04/23/modern-web-development-part-1.html and I haven’t looked back since. If you’re a developer that link has a ton of stuff that I can’t possibly remember about what you can do with the Canary edition of Chrome. As a designer, I primarily use it the same way I used Firebug: checking CSS and layout issues.

It was great to see everyone at our last coworking event! Robert from Bull City Coworking is happy to have us, and will continue to generously provide a free day pass for any Drupaler interested in joining us.
If you enjoy this event, and like the idea of coworking, you can help Robert and others fostering businesses like this by (1) spreading the word to others who may find such a format helpful, and/or (2) spending a day when we're not there as a group at Bull City Coworking and paying for a day pass. Pay it forward, and keep things like this accessible!

Read moreDevelopers wanted for CityCamp Raleigh 2012
Hi TriDUG,
CityCamp Raleigh is right around the corner, June 1-3 - http://citycampral.org/. You can attend on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday or make a weekend out of it. It's free! What is CityCamp? We gather citizens, developers, and city staff to figure out ways to improve our quality of life through technology. It's like a BarCamp with a civic twist.
And that means we need some smart technical folks like yourselves. You'll meet some awesome people and you could win $5000 for your idea/prototype. We are looking for people to pitch workshops at Saturday's unconference.
