What's Boston Drupal 7 Dojo?

Boston Drupal 7 Dojo is a weekly opportunity to get together with other folks in the local Drupal community to learn, design, and develop D7 sites.

We going to work on D7 projects only so we can all learn together from a developer, designer, admin, and site builder perspective. We may choose a charity or non-profit organization in need of a new website as something we all can work on together.

For the first part of our meetup, we can present something interesting about working on a D7 project. Details are in the making as far as our format.

The word Dojo (道場) captures what we're trying to create -- a place to practice and master one's art. Think of it as a place to become a Drupal blackbelt, a Drupal Ninja.

When?

Second and fourth Tuesdays of the month starting at 6:30p.

Where?

MassChallenge Office, One Marina Park Drive, 14th Floor, Boston, MA 02210. Near the ICA
