C&D Founders of Drupal North East

Consult and Design are very proud to have founded the Drupal North East user group along with two other local Drupal development companies.

Drupal North East is a user group for developers, themers, designers, administrators and users of Drupal to meet up with like-minded people and share all things Drupal.

After meeting up regularly through networking events, Drupalcons in Paris, Copenhagen and Chicago and discussion on IRC, three local Drupal enthusiasts have come together to help get the meet-ups started and hopefully get a regular monthly meeting arranged by everyone involved.

It's still early days and we're looking forward to input from all the local Drupal people, but its expected that the user group will involve:

• Demonstrations of projects, modules and themes developed by local Drupal users
• Training and skill sharing between developers and designers using Drupal
• Promotion of Drupal with developers and designers interested in using Drupal
• Sharing information about Drupal events and meet-ups taking place Nationally and Internationally including Drupal Camps and Drupalcon
• Having regional representation at the up-coming Drupalcon London
• Building trusted relationships between Drupal companies and freelancers to share resources and increase employment

The first Drupal North East event will take place on Wednesday 20th April. To find out more about Drupal North East, visit: http://www.drupalnortheast.org.uk
