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.

May Meeting Slides are online (Achieving Awesome Drupal Design)
Slides for my "Achieving Awesome Drupal Design" presentation have been saved as a PDF document and are available for download. The PDF export did not work correctly for slides with lots of animation such as the design examples. Half of the design examples were from my workplace Image X Media so you can always visit our portfolio there to see many of the examples again. The presentation was taped and I'm sure that it will be online soon.

Hey, Canadians! Internationalization patches for Drupal 6 need review!
