Waterloo Region Drupal Users Group

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

A group for Drupal users in southern Ontario, mainly from Kitchener, Waterloo, as well as Cambridge, Guelph and surrounding areas.

Who

All Drupal enthusiasts are welcome to join us for discussion and demonstration of topics for beginners and beyond.

What

Topics range from implementation examples and demonstrations to tutorials and workshops to round-tables, question and answers and panel discussions.

When

Meetings are held monthly, except for July, August and December. Attendance is free. We meet on the third Thursday of each month, from 19:00 to 21:00.

Why

Learn about different aspects of working with Drupal, including development, site building, design, and more. Coming to a meetup is also a great opportunity to network with others who work with Drupal.

Where

Our new meeting location will be at the University of Waterloo, Hagey Hall room 119. Campus map

How

Hagey Hall (HH) is near the south-west corner inside the ring road (the road that goes in a loop around the main campus). Convenient parking is right across the road in H lot ($5 payable by credit card on exit). There are many transit stops near campus, including an LRT stop on the east side of ring road. View transit stops on Google maps

If approaching from H parking lot, look for the yellow/light wood doors in the big brown/red brick building:

If approaching from the north side, you'll be looking for a new glass entrance that looks like this.

Inside the door there may be a map of the building. Room 119 is towards the west side.

To get there, walk through the building until you come to an open, modern space. It looks like this:

The doorway to get to Room 119 is to the left (right if you came in the north entrance). Look for "Drupal meetup" signs.
