About Berkeley Drupal Users Group meetings:

We are making an effort to select topics that directly benefit UC Berkeley employees using Drupal.
BDUG remains open to the non-UC Berkeley Drupal community. Please join us at our meetings. Please let us know if you are interested in presenting at BDUG.
Discussion format: Meetings will not always be formal presentations. Some meetings will be discussions centered around a predefined topic. Discussions will be initiated by a leader who will briefly present an overview of the topic possibly including demonstrations or supporting materials. The session leaves ample space for organic discussion. Participants are encouraged to:
- Respond in these forums with ideas for the present meeting or future meetings.
- Bring problems encountered, questions and contributions to the meeting.
