Our mission is to connect Drupal users in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and surrounding areas. We get together monthly for presentations, site demonstrations, and hack nights. Our goal is to help new Drupal users get up to speed, foster the development of existing Drupal designers and Developers, and contribute to the larger Drupal community. The Research Triangle has a big concentration of technical folks, universities, and start-ups and we want to expose as many people as possible to Drupal and all that it offers.
Propose a meeting topic here.

ESIP Summer Drupal Lab in Chapel Hill NC
The Details of the meeting are on the ESIP Commons (Event URL)... We will have a set of demonstrations from NASA and NOAA Drupal web developers and a special guest: Angie Byron (webchick), who will be talking about Drupal 8 and then getting into discussions in the afternoon unconference.
We invite all local Drupalistas to join in! The Friend Center at UNC charges us $70 per day per person... so we have to pass along a one day fee ($70) to people who are not registered for the main ESIP meeting.
THERE will be remote participation (live streaming and some interactivity).

DrupalCon Group Viewing
Would anyone be interested in a group viewing session of DrupalCon? For those of us not going, I'm thinking that we could get together for a full day of watching the best of DrupalCon 2013. This is assuming all the sessions will be recorded, just as they have been for the past however many DrupalCons. NCSU Libraries could potentially provide space for this too, I can definitely get a room with tables that holds 20-30 people.

Do you have any SEO recommendations?
We launched a (Drupal 6) website about 2 years ago (www.fsrmagazine.com) and the traffic hasn't grown like we were hoping. We've done a lot of basic SEO stuff, such as page titles, good content, sitemaps, etc, but the "game" has evolved over the years and we aren't able to keep up.
So we're looking for outside help - do you know of any local (Triangle area, NC) experts in (white-hat) traffic growth strategies?
Thanks!
