# BDUG

![A group of people attentively listening at a Belgian Drupal User Group meeting, discussing Drupal modules and internationalization.](https://dri.es/files/cache/bdug-2007/across-attendees-640w.jpg)
*Picture taken at the <a href="https://dri.es/drupal-meeting-in-ghent">Belgian Drupal User Group meeting last night</a> where the people from <a href="http://www.a-cross.com">Across</a> talked about <a href="http://www.gfmd-fmmd.org">gfmd-fmmd.org</a>, a Drupal site that they built for the Belgian government. About 30 people showed up to talk about the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/cck">Content Construction Kit \(CCK\)</a>, <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">Views</a> and internationalization. The CCK and Views modules seem to be the Swiss army knife for <a href="http://drupal.org/">Drupalistas all around the world</a> -- including <a href="http://drupal.be/">the Belgian ones</a>. Internationalization seems to be the source of some frustration.*

*On the left, Pieter De Clercq of <a href="http://www.jeugdwerknet.be/">JeugdWerkNet</a> -- they use Drupal for youth working. On the right, Dries Coucke of <a href="http://pets.be">Pets.be</a>. Dries is considering to convert <a href="http://pets.be">Pets.be</a> to Drupal. Funny thing is, <a href="http://pets.be">Pets.be</a> is one of my wife's favorite sites. Ah, small world!*
