This group is for everyone living in the DC metro area who's interested in Drupal. You can post here about anything relating to DC and Drupal, whether that's local job postings, events, or just a call out to talk shop over beers.
You can also find us in a couple of other places:
- Group on Meetup.com for events (they handle events better, with reminder emails and whatnot)
- Group on groups.drupal.org for discussions and job posts (that's here)
- #drupal-dc on freenode
- @DrupalDC on Twitter
We have a great meetup every month where we get together to connect in person. The target audience is Drupal developers, users, and people who want to learn more about Drupal. We start the meetups with a round of very focused lightning talks that discuss real world solutions to existing problems, new work people have done, and Drupal news. Some of these talks are about code, and some are not. We do ask that all presenters talk on a level that everyone - including non-developers - can follow. After the talks, we chat over beer, and maybe play a few games of foosball.
We're open to ways to improve the meetups and this group, so speak up if you have ideas!

Monthly Drupal Meetup at Stetson's
Our regular meetup is the second Monday of every month at Stetson's on U St. Join us for a round of lightning talks and plenty of socializing. This is a pretty casual event: everyone is welcome, and by no means do you need to look professional!
We don't have a set schedule, but just so you know what to expect, this is more or less how things tend to go:
Hang out for a bit and meet new people
A few quick lightning talks and any announcements
"Stump the expert" panel, where we discuss "how would I do this in Drupal?"-type questions
Quick introductions of everyone
Disabling the Google Translate "better translation" popup
I am working on a site in Portuguese and using Google Translate since I don't know Portuguese.
The problem is the annoying popup that appears when hovering over a link in the Admin Menu bar that covers the menu.
I found and posted a solution here http://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/8oA_K-KpcqA/AKjfNu2XU4EJ using the Adblock Plus extension for Chrome with a custom filter that blocks the popup
The custom filter is "##div#goog-gt-tt"
Hope this helps

Our team (Taoti Creative – www.taoti.com) is going to Cap Camp this weekend.

If you see one of us at #CapitalCampDC (we’ll be wearing bright orange shirts, so we’ll be hard to miss), just ask for an invitation that has details and a walking map on the back (it’s about a 10-15 minute walk from Cap Camp.
