Week in DC Tech: June 29th Edition
Gov 2.0, Drupal, and Fireworks This Week in Washington, DC
This week is a short one for most with Independence Day giving many of us in the United States a three day weekend. Typically for the 4th of July in Washington, DC you see a lot of people leave town to celebrate, while the tourists flood in to do the same. But if you are in town this week and weekend, there are some fun things happening with Artomatic celebrating its last week of exhibits and shows, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival going on for a second week on the Mall, and of course the fireworks on the 4th.
In addition to being a short week, it’s also a quiet one in technology. There are just a couple events on our radar this week, which you can see below. For a full list, check out DC Tech Events. Have a great week, and enjoy the holiday weekend!

Northern VA Drupal Meetup: If you’re a Drupal developer, wannabe Drupal developer, or just want to learn more, check out this meetup. It’s a great chance to get to know people working with Drupal, see what’s possible with the platform, and get answers to your questions. The floor will be open for short presentations, so consider talking about the latest Drupal project you’re working on.
