Representing and growing Drupal locally
Last modified: July 16, 2008 - 03:37
One of the best ways to help grow the Drupal project is to present Drupal to a local audience. You do not need permission to represent Drupal, but it is recommended that you post the activity publicly so that others in the community can participate.
Drupal is a popular technology, and adjacent technical communities are often eager to have a presentation on Drupal at their local meetup, barcamp, unconference, or conference exhibition.
Technical communities you may wish to target:
- PHP local Groups
- MySQL groups
- PostgreSQL groups
- Javascript, jQuery etc
- Web design, UPA chapters, IA institute groups
- Web Standards and CMS groups
Industries which Drupal is popular with:
- Education
- Non profits
- Media
- Newspapers
If there is a local industry event then you might consider representing Drupal at an industry conference or presenting at local industry meet-up.
