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.

Drupal Hosting Cookbook
Hi to all Drupallers I knew in Vancouver
I've moved out to Toronto now but I've started using Drupal again. One of the guys I've met out here has just written a guide to setting up a Drupal 7 (yes, adventurous) host from scratch since his company has just been through the process. I found it helpful anyway and thought you guys might as well.

Wanted: Good Places to Stay!
To help out-of-town guests for the Drupal Summit we want to compile a list of places to stay. This includes hotels, motels, hostels, and B&Bs. Since it's easy to find a high end place to stay, lower cost options are definitely appreciated. The Summit is on a transit hub, so any place on a major transit route is an option. Likewise if you know of any good Vancouver travel resources like directories.
Leave the information here, we'll transfer it to the website or reference this post. Thanks!
