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.

Vancouver DrupalCamp this summer?
Hey all,
So a few of us were chatting after the meetup about the desire for a more extended Drupal geekout, and thinking about possibilities for a DrupalCamp in town this summer... Someone was saying that they thought there was one being organized for April, but didn't really know anything more about it. Does anyone know if this is true and if so who is organizing?
And if not, since the spring is already so jam-packed, I am wondering if it might be a better idea to organize one for a little later on, perhaps June-ish?
Info? Ideas? Input? Please post here!

Theming workshops?
I've heard rumors of a theming workshop to happen in the New Year, and I wasn't really into or aware of Drupal enough to have caught the recent BAD Camp.
So I was wondering if there were any intentions by the folks over at Raincity or Bryght (well they're the same thing now), or anywhere else for that matter, to host a theming workshop sometime in the New Year. If so, even preliminary details would be good at this stage, even a promise would suffice :)

Badcamp Wrap-up posts
Raincity Studios sent a trio of enthusiasts to Berkeley California for BAD Camp. This Bay Area Drupalist group put on a great event and we had a blast participating and enjoying the beautiful campus (alas not enough time outdoors enjoying the balmy weather).
In case you missed it, i published a smattering of posts before, during and after the event. Many are fortified with links to resources and sprinkled with conversation topics and general banter about the Drupal community.

Francis gave a good talk at the Raincity Studios Disguised Drupalist Debugging Day. I videoed the talk and though the result won't win any awards here it is: Disguised Drupalist Debugging Day.
I've also attached a copy of the PDF file Francis created.
