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.

Location: Bryght Offices, Suite 203 - 525 Seymour St., Vancouver [Google Map]
Colin Chudyk (aka chud) from Vision Technologies is giving us an overview of the Category Module:
Read moreThe category module allows you to structure your site into a tree-like hierarchy of pages, and to classify your dynamic content, all within one seamless interface. It is built upon the foundations of the core book and taxonomy modules, and it provides all of the functionality of these two modules, and much more, to help you in customizing the navigational experience of your Drupal site.
BarCamp Vancouver Fri August 25 - Sunday August 27
Love to have some Drupal sessions (2-5 minute lightning talks, demos, discussions about questions, all the way to full blown presentations) at BarCamp Vancouver (a 24 hour period probably starting the evening of Friday August 25th)
A "Bar Camp" is a "unconference" like DrupalCamp Seattle. Everyone is expected to participate (blog, discuss, lead a session, give a demo or lightning talk, etc.) and the schedule is planned the "day of" at the start of the event (although you are encouraged to put up your session topic on the <a href="http://ba

At the June 1 meeting Boris brought up the Seattle Drupal Camp: http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcamp-seattle-2006
There's an agenda up with a tech and non-tech track. It's sponsored in part by Bryght and Rain City Studios, so you know some of the usual Vancouver suspects will be present :-).
I wanted to start a discussion to get things rolling. (Apologies if this is the wrong venue)
Do people usually go down the night before or the morning of?
Is there a recommended place to stay?
Read moreNext meeting, and need an organizer in crime
So, theoretically, something like tomorrow (Thursday, May 25th), would be the next meeting. That's probably a little short notice, so let's do next week -- June 1st. How does that work for folks? I'll enter this as an event for now, and we can shift as needed -- please signup if you are going to attend.
I'd also like to have someone step up and help me organize. I travel a fair bit, and would like to have at least one or two other folks to help do things like make sure the next meeting is organized :P
Also, a DrupalCamp is being planned for Seattle at the end of June -- about 4 weeks away.
Read moreJune 1st User Group meeting *UPDATE*
Our monthly meeting, taking place at the Take 5 Cafe on the corner of Granville and Hastings.
Update: Take 5 is actually changing their hours and will no longer be staying open late -- just found this out today. Let's meet at the Bryght offices, 525 Seymour, Suite 203. Front doors close at 6pm, so we'll be standing downstairs in front of the building, just down from BCIT.
Please leave a comment if you would like to present. Some of the topics we can discuss include the past DrupalCamp Toronto, the upcoming DrupalCamp Seattle, review the Google Summer of Code announcements, and perhaps have Steve MacKenzie show us his Skype Support module.
