This is a local user group for sharing knowledge about Drupal and networking with other folks in the greater Seattle web/tech community.
SeaDUG meets monthly to talk about Drupal, to plan related events, and to socialize. During SeaDUG meetings we showcase modules and projects, share tips and tricks, and answer nagging questions about Drupal.
We welcome participants from all skill levels and all disciplines related to website building and development - marketers, project managers, developers, designers, writers, devops, user researchers, QA, and more.

I'm looking for an experienced Drupal developer to provide about a half day of tutoring / consulting to help get me jumpstarted with an Acquia-hosted project.
I'm a PHP developer, and am new to Drupal, Acquia, and Git, and will figure those all out in due time, but would appreciate the assistance of someone experienced with these tools and environments to help me get things going initially, and provide advice in terms of efficient and effective workflow.

Drupal Dates off by timezone offset, after upgrading date module
Just a quick note of how we resolved an issue related to an upgrade to Date.
We recently updated Date in our core distribution to date-7.x-2.9-beta1 and on one site, we had a number of date fields set up as just "Date". After the update, the display of all of these ended up 7 - 8 hours off -- when you edit the node, it shows up with the correct time, and when you display the node, it's off by 8 hours.
8 hours happens to be our current timezone offset from UTC, and 7 hours is the offset during Daylight Savings Time, so this immediately made me think it was a timezone offset problem.
