History of the User Group

The idea of the club was started when Akilah Jackson, Li Zhu from OIT Learning Technologies and Megan Weng from ARHU started working on Drupal back in 2009. They saw a need to start a Drupal community on campus for support and knowledge sharing. It was decided that ARHU will host the monthly Wednesday meetings. The first meeting was held on November 4th, 2009 led by Akilah Jackson and Li Zhu on the newly implemented Drupal site otal.umd.edu. An FYI email was sent to the campus and close to 50 people showed up for the first meeting. It was clear that such group was necessary on campus. Since then, ARHU, ENGR, AGNR, and the English Department have taken turns hosting the monthly meetings.
