Western Maryland DUG

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

A growing core of Drupal professionals here in Washington County have been meeting informally for a while now and wish to encourage like-minded Drupalistas in the area to join with us to share information and encouragement.

This group is for Drupal people in or near Washington County, Maryland who can't make it to meetings in Baltimore or Washington D.C.

Also, please be sure to join us in November when we will raffle off a free and complete license to PHPStorm!
