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.

Issues after changing drives on Wampserver
I had to rescue a site from one failing drive to another months ago and it was pretty much left untouched until recently when I finally got time to work on it again.
Getting this every time I start up wamp "PHP Startup: unable to load dynamic library ' (wrong drive letter here to php_gd2.dll)" along with other php dlls. I've changed httpd.conf, wampmanger.conf at least from memory, seems like there are some other lingering conf files I'd have to hit. Anyone know what those might be and where to find them?
Read moreI'm very new to Drupal. Looking for someone to help implement current and future projects. Advice?
Just joined the group - seems like a nice bunch, and I'm looking forward to attending the next meetup :)
I'm a developer who's starting to do more project management and design, and less and less back-end/coding. Right now, I have a project that requires a somewhat custom ecommerce solution, and I was hoping to do it using Drupal, with someone who may be interested in a longer term working relationship. I'm wondering what the best avenue would be for finding someone to hire short/long-term.

(Note, there is no official affiliation with VanDUG or Drupal)
From the description:
