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!
Reminder: Meetup tonight @ Stetson's
Hi everyone, remember tonight is the December meetup at Stetson's. We are expecting 6 great talks includes a preview of some Whitehouse.gov functionality.
We look forward to seeing all of you tonight.

Question: Is node author considered a node attribute?
Hi
I am trying to distinguish between node fields (title, body, cck fields) and all the other descriptive bits of information that are associated with the node. What would you call author, publish date, update date, NID, tax terms, node path, node outline placement, node input filter, etc. Would you call them node attributes? They are like metadata but not officially.
thoughts?

When you build pages in Drupal, you typically plan your layout and assemble your pages within the structure defined by your theme. This concept is discussed in the Planner's Guide chapter Create a Design Plan.
In this short tutorial (http://planningdrupalsites.com/training/overview-drupal-content-layout-m...), we will expand on these concepts and explore how you, as a builder, can change your structures and layouts without editing your theme.
