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.

What's New in Drupal 7

Core developer Károly Négyesi (chx) will give us a quick tour of the Drupal 7 developer highlights and be available to answer questions.

Read moreDrupal Camp Victoria was great!
A big thank you to Northstudio and all the volunteer speakers at the recent Victoria Drupal Camp. (Sept. 11/12th)
I enjoyed networking with everyone and the weather was beautiful.
I would like to encourage more women to come out to Drupal Camp Victoria. Perhaps
we could get some companies to sponsor more women participants including speakers and attendees.
We had 3 women from Vancouver come out and we would love to see more!
Add your thoughts, thankyou's and suggestions for the next Drupal Camp Victoria to this thread.

September Meeting/Location
A number of companies and organizations stepped forward with potential meeting locations, but to date we don't have anything for September with an evening time slot.
Options I can think of:
- Book a restaurant that has a room
- Charge a small admission to try to cover booking a room somewhere
- Seek room sponsorship from local companies
If we moved the meeting earlier we could meet at HDLabs (where the code sprint was held), but I suspect that would exclude a lot of people.
Other thoughts?
