April Sides (weekbeforenext)

April Sides:
“At the end of September, our city and surrounding areas were devastatingly impacted by the catastrophic weather event, Hurricane Helene. In addition to celebrating Drupal this month, I hope our local community can come together in-person to spend some time together and check in on one another. I also hope it’s the first of many gatherings this year.”

Paul McKibben:
“With the Drupal CMS Launch Party, we’re building on the momentum from 2024 to reinvigorate the Atlanta Drupal Community ahead of DrupalCon being hosted in our city. Plus, with the launch of Drupal CMS, we have the opportunity to invite more marketers, creatives, and site builders into the community. Combining this with a farewell to Drupal 7 makes it a great way to gather both seasoned Drupalists and those interested in exploring Drupal for the first time.”

“We recently created the Pacific Time Virtual Drupal Users Group. PTVDUG will be hosting a Drupal CMS launch party on Jan. 15, 6–7pm PT. It's scheduled for folks in the Pacific time zone, but all are welcome to join! Our group will be discussing Drupal CMS in our normal meetup time the week prior on Jan. 8, so it will be very fresh to talk about in the launch party. Drupal CMS is a great step forward to make Drupal more accessible and competitive in the web market, so we are super excited to celebrate its launch with you!”
