How does one become more involved in the group. I am interested in seeing what resources I can lend to the group and what mutual beneficial aspects can arise. I have been to some meetings and have some ideas for topics and overall management.

Seeing that i am not really part of the "core team" and not really a "hard core dev" I have not really said too much as I don't want to approach anyone the wrong way.

I have a lot on management experience and have done a good bit of work in the field, technical and non-technical, started in advertising then became creative-print, then- web, now own and operate a small multimedia company that produces web, film/video and audio production.

We now also develop drupal sites and I wanted to learn more so I joined this group. I see a lot of potential for this group and would love to find out how does one get involved on a greater scale or even become one of the "core team/leadership" and if there are any business avenues that the group offers or are interested in.

Would love to hear some thoughts
