Representing and growing Drupal locally

Last updated February 13, 2009.

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.
