Jonathan invited me to this group, so you're now up to, .... let me use both hands ... 7 ... no 8 members. Florida isn't exactly the hot-bed of Drupal development, but here we are!
eIntroductions... I have been playing around with Drupal for almost 18 months, having first learned about it at Democracy Fest 2005. I attempted to start my own company using Drupal as a platform, and when that didn't work I went to work for CivicActions. Jonathan and I met in Amsterdam last month at a CivicActions company meeting.
CivicActions is a really cool professional services development firm that uses Drupal to build websites for our clients. They are a great group of people that I'm excited to be a part of, with wonderful values and a good company philosophy. We are a bunch of idealists and our company tagline is "saving the world one node at a time!". Jonathan's working on some really cool stuff right now, that I'll let him share with you. He went to DrupalCon in Brussels and (I believe) gave a presentation there. I received my Drupal CVS credentials a couple of months ago and have contributed a couple of simple Drupal modules.
