Dove-tailing off of recent activity, I'm bumping up the Edmonton Drupal user group. Second Tuesday of each month - however tbh I haven't gone the last couple months. That's probably okay because for plenty of months before that it was just me, sometimes my wife, and one time my dog. They've closed the patio for the winter though, so he's out.

Perhaps having an annual or bi-annual Drupal User Group event could be more in order. It might not be the Drupal hay day anymore.

Hello Western Canadian Drupalers, I've recently moved back to western Canada after a 15 year absence.

I'm looking to drum up some activity in the west and to grow my network (currently I've spoken to one Drupalista in Alberta) and eventually do recruiting and offer on the job training.

Second Tuesday of the month!

If it's still going to be nice I might sit outside. The hostess knows me now as the software table (I can't quite get her to remember "Drupal") so if you can't see my table with a Drupal logo sign she can tell you where we are sitting.

Come one, come all.

Dear Edmonton Drupalers and Drupalistas:

I'm going to keep this meetup going. So remember, Drupal meetups are on the second Tuesday of the month!

Come meet and greet; talk shop, experience, front-end, back-end, headless, search, commerce, migrations, and all else Drupal related. Do you want to do a presentation on your latest or your favourite Drupal solution? Well, maybe not this month but come tell us about it anyway and we can set it up.
