Hi everyone,

I would like to announce a program coming up that may be of interest to entrepreneurs/ social entrepreneurs thinking of using Drupal for their website or currently using it.

As an example of Drupal's power, last year I put together the Missioneurs website http://missioneurs.com/ in only a couple of hours.

The program is free. There is more info below and you can RSVP here http://www.meetup.com/drupaldelphia/events/16334379/

Best,

Sam

Drupal Basics and Beyond February 9, 6:30pm

This Meetup will be all about the magic and power of Drupal. Drupal is free software that powers everything from personal blogs to the White House website.

The event will consist of brief, interesting, non-technical presentations given by Drupal professionals, -- with lots of time to ask questions and network.

Who should attend:

Nonprofits, businesses, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, thinking of using Drupal or currently using Drupal and wanting to learn how to take full advantage of its power
Web designers and tech professional that want to start powering their sites with Drupal
People who want to work with Drupal for fun or for profit
Drupal professionals who would like to share their expertise

Some of the questions that will be covered:

Just what is Drupal and what it is capable of?
Is it really as amazing (or as terrible) as I’ve heard?
What are the best modules (plugins) to power up a site?
What does it take to administer a site or build a site?
What are the best ways to learn Drupal?
When should I use Wordpress or another solution?
What are the real costs?
What can I do myself and when do I need professional help?
What do I need to know about hiring a developer or web shop?
What about e-commerce on Drupal?
What’s new in Drupal 7.

We want to thank Frank Taney at Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney for generously providing space for this program.

If you have any additional questions that you would like covered at the event, feel free to post them below.
