The monthly meet-up for March was moved from the last friday of the month, which was the good Friday, to the 1st of April and hoped really hard that people didn't think it was an April fools prank. This PDG meetup was hosted by Rotary International thanks to diligence of Dipak Yadav who works there. It is always fun when the meetup is hosted in different locations because we get to explore different parts of Pune and see new faces.
With 25 members in attendence, the meetup was kicked off by Dipak giving us an informative talk about Rotary International and the work they do.
The speaker for the evening was Sushil Hanwate of Axelerant and he spoke on,“ Services and dependency injections in Drupal 8.”
The session ended after a short Q&A, we broke off into smaller groups for BOF sessions. Saket headed the BOF for Service workers and the second group discussed about the Drupal 8 Module development.
Once we were done with technical talks, we were served one of the best Kachoris we have tasted :). While we happily munched on the snacks, we decided on the preliminary team members for the upcoming Pune Drupal Camp.
Though the meetups are being held regularly we still need to figure a way of involving newer members into the community and one of the way that is possible is if we get more people volunteering to host the meetups. Kudos to Rotary for hosting us, if you are a Pune based company / group who would like to host the next meetup then please get in touch via comments.
Our next PDG meetup is scheduled for the 29th of April. Along with a session on,"Experience with Drupal" by Rahul Savaria and Prashant Kumar from QED42, we shall also be planning and discussing further about the upcoming Pune Drupal Camp.
Dont forget to RSVP, See you soon!
