Rhode Island may be a tiny state, but Drupal's making a pretty big splash here. We've been having regular meetups for the past year in Providence via DrupalPVD.org with new faces every month. Our focus is equal parts designer, developer and site owner; our goal is to help everyone learn, grow and share their experience working with and on the Drupal platform.
Our other source of Drupal company is the Boston group which caters to all of Massachusetts and occasionally has meetings close to Rhode Island.

Our next WMass Drupal Group meeting will be Thursday, December 15, 4pm
at Last Call Media:
136 West St., Suite 01 in Northampton, MA.
https://lastcallmedia.com/
Partly due to a conflict later in the day, trying something different where we start early and do a "work together" session for an hour or two, answering each others questions that we might have - so come work and bring questions.
If there are no questions, we can dive into this agenda topic:
Desktop environment comparison: MAMP, WAMP, Acquia, Kalabox, Vagrant, Docker, Other?
...or anything else folks want to talk about.
