Drupal Showcases and Retros
Details
Let's learn from the experience of others. This month we'll see a series of showcases and retrospectives - what went went right and what can go wrong with Drupal projects.
This month we are looking for first time presenters. If you have not spoken at the meetup yet, now is your chance. We really would love to hear about the things you are doing with Drupal and any tips you may have for successful projects. Do you have any cool things to demonstrate or any horror stories you wish to share?
Presentations will be short and sweet (15 mins) as we hope to get through a few of them to keep things interesting.

1800 Drinks
1830 Presentations

The Predeparture Guide - Drupal & Gamification (Duarte Garin)
This was a project developed for the Department of Education and targeted to young audiences (15-18), where we used a gamification system to engage international students. I will discuss our strategy and how we used Drupal to "solve" the problem by leveraging core modules like Book, Quiz, Views Data Reports others.

Looking for work?
A chance for Drupal developers who are looking for work (contracts, partnerships, employment) to make a 1 min pitch to the audience. This is your chance to intro yourself. Be sure to mention your skills and what work you are looking for.
Get involved
We are actively encouraging presenters and mentors to come forth to take part in future events. If you have some ideas, just let us know. Each month there is room for lightning talks as well, so if you have something to present bring it along.
