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 Code sprint at FCV
I was talking to Derek, the ops manager at FCV, and suggested a code sprint for drupal at FCV.
He is potentially interested, but I'll have to sell it. So posing the question to this group, would you all be interested in a code sprint in Vancouver, I know there is one upcoming in Seattle as well in July 25-27, or the more the merrier?
If so, what weekend, and any topics in particular, drupal 7, documentation, your pet project?
A section of the 11th floor here has not been setup yet, and has a bunch of various desks and chairs. Also there is a kitchen and a bubble hockey table.

Drupal 7 Code Sprint
CHX will be in Seattle July 25-26 and has expressed interested in having a code sprint here to crank on the D7 criticals queue and port modules to D7. Is anyone interested in this? While this event will probably be pretty code-centric, I think it would be an excellent introduction for people who are curious and interested in how to get more involved in the Drupal community. If Jennifer can make it, I'm sure she would be up for some documentation queue wrangling and we can make sure there is stuff for all skill levels to do.

Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit Update - June 2010
Greetings Drupal Community!
It’s exciting times for Drupal in the Pacific Northwest. Planning for the October 2010 Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit in Vancouver, Canada is progressing nicely. Want to find out more, keep on reading!
Background
The process started in earnest last year with a call for participation. From there we established an Organizing Committee and starting laying down the foundation for the conference. Although I was the one that kicked things off I’m extremely pleased to announce that Vanessa Turke of ImageX Media took on the role of Organizing Committee chair and is doing a wonderful job. The Organizing Committee would also like to acknowledge the support we’re getting from last year’s Seattle organizing committee.
