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.

October 2009 Meeting: IA for Drupal - A User Based Approach
Join us at 6:30pm on Thursday October 29, 2009 at Appnovation Technologies (note, different location this month) for the Vancouver League of Drupalers October meeting. This month's feature presentation: Information Architecture for Drupal - A User Based Approach with Vanessa Turke. Implementing a fresh design or new CMS without giving some significant thought to the organization of the actual content of the site can be a costly mistake – a new look or a new system is not a fix for a poorly-structured website with boring content! Vanessa discuss hows how some careful planning at the beginning of the process can help.
We'll also have a case study on the newly relaunched Vancouver Observer by Dave Egan and discuss doing a Vancouver Drupal Camp in 2010.

Drupal Camp Vancouver 2010 - Call for Organizers
It's probably not too early to start planning a Drupal Camp for 2010, particularly since finding a venue is one of the biggest challenges and is much simpler with lots of lead time.
April/May seems like a good rough starting point for the date. Most of the other regional Drupal events are late summer/early fall. Hopefully it's far enough past the end of the Olympics not be adversely impacted, but there my be displaced events competing for the space. We'll also want to insure we don't schedule the same days as Open Web Vancouver.
