It's been a four month hiatus since our last Long Beach meetup. It was a good summer break, but fall is here, time has changed, and it feels like the season for some fun after work networking, sharing about Drupal, and some quality open source community time. Come join us at WE Labs (new location) in downtown Long Beach.
This month we're open to topic ideas as we prepare for a series of upcoming events in Long Beach. Have a suggestion or idea? We're a bit torn between having some topical presentations or contribute meetups where we help fix & learn Drupal together. Please post in the comments.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested in learning about or contributing to Drupal and more generally building websites. Local experts regularly attend this meetup and share their real-world experiences and best practices. We encourage anyone just getting started in web development and Drupal to come join us to learn and share.
What is the format of the meetup?
The Long Beach meetup had a history of being a smaller casual meetup more geared towards contributing and learning the innards of Drupal and workflow best practices. That said, we're open to your wants and needs -- please tell us what you'd like to see covered and we'll do our best to make it happen!

Date Missing from Email
When this announcement was sent (and probably others too), the 'Start' field was left out of the email. It would be best to get that field into the email. 2nd best would be to include the date someplace in the text.
Good catch!
@realEuph, thanks for the feedback. I started to post an issue, but after a quick search found this, Add Date to Event Notifications on g.d.o. Since I don't subscribe to gdo email notification, I don't have an example or details of the problem. Would you mind adding some details to the issue -- which will also have the effect of bumping it for current gdo maintainers?
I'll edit the text and title to note this is a meetup scheduled for November 21 from 7-9p
