New DC Drupal community meetings focused on training

There has been talk for a long time between DC community members about starting back up a Drupal educational meeting in addition to our social outings in the area. This effort is the start of that movement into reality.

The purpose of this group is to provide educational sessions on the Drupal CMS by community members to help increase the size and quality of the Drupal knowledgeable market. It is intended to enhance, not replace or compete with, the current Drupal offerings in the DC metro area by focusing on training for ALL levels of Drupal experience. Since this is community driven, this is not for those that want a more fast paced or professional training environment.

To capture more of an audience not familiar with Drupal, I have setup a Meetup.com group to help gather and organize people. Sessions will be dually posted there and here on g.d.o to ensure the widest possible audience. I also setup a domain for that site, dcDrupalTraining.com.

If you are interested in Drupal training by the community, please sign-up at http://dcdrupaltraining.com

Also if you are interested in being a co-organizer, speaker/trainer, sponsor, or would like to help out in any way, let me know. The more people we have helping the better chance we have of this succeeding in the future.
