LADrupal is intended to be a hub for Drupal users and their fans in the Los Angeles area to network, collaborate and ask questions; including Orange County, SGV, Inland Empire, and in general the whole of Southern California. It is their goal to support and encourage the open exchange of ideas that takes place in regular face-to-face meetings, and to promote a greater sense of community for local node-monkeys and pixel-lovers.

Drop by their site at http://groups.Drupal.org/LA for more goings-on, discussion and a chance to pitch in. Some of the LA Drupal members frequent their own IRC channel #drupal-LA on the Freenode IRC Network.

LADrupal benefits from SCALE by helping connect locals to Drupal, one of the premier open source projects. The local group is vibrant averaging ~50people (and continuing to grow) at our monthly meetups where we network, meet other Drupal professionals, and generally just have fun learning and sharing one of the projects we love. DrupalCampLA 2008 brought over 400 people to the LA Convention center where we geeked out and got intoxicated on the Drupal herbal-goodness.

Stop by booth 45 to learn why there's so much buzz about Drupal. They'll be serving up the Drupal kool-aide and will teach you how to make your own.
