Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group (VanDUG) is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story.
The group mostly hangs out on Slack at https://vandug.slack.com/. We also post our meetings on Meetup.com at https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Drupal-Users-Group. All are welcome, it's listed as a private group to keep out the griefers.
We've been holding semi-regular virtual meetings during COVID-19.

Extending Views – Views plugins (rescheduled)
Views has long been an important component of Drupal - generally regarded as a 'must install' module in Drupal 7. With Drupal 8 it has entered core and been significantly updated to embrace many new paradigms and best practices. This includes using the annotation plugin system.
Views in fact has the most plugins for a (core) system other than Migrate and Fields - and certainly has the most seperate kinds of plugins (NINETEEN!!). These range from small effects such as sorting and fields to a full rewrite of the output such using a style plugin.
