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!

As always, the DC Drupal meetups are open to everyone with an interest in Drupal and are a great opportunity to learn more about what Drupal can do and what folks are building with it.

I need some training with a Drupal expert here in DC.
And I mean an EXPERT. I'm a Drupal developer here in DC, got a great job, about 10 Drupal sites I've built and am running, and I'm getting pretty good. But I need some training - there are some BIG holes in my Drupal knowledge and it's driving me crazy... I HATE feeling incompetent.
For example, if you could answer this embarrassingly simple question: http://drupal.org/node/1292566 you will go a long way toward getting my business. (Note: that was solved by looking in the actual module... duh.)
But that's the point, yeah, there are gaps in my knowledge that cost me time.

Announcing Content API Module
Hi Everyone, just wanted to put out a quick note about a new module that we'd love feedback on. It's called Content API, and is a drop-in solution for making all your content available via web APIs with no programming necessary. We built it as a part of the redesign of FCC.gov, and is being used there to power the new website. More information is available at the project page: http://drupal.org/project/contentapi. For those of you at CapitalCamp a couple of months ago, this is the module I previewed in my API publishing talk.
