I really want to come to one of the Tacoma Drupal User Group meetings, because I want to meet other Drupal developers/PHP programmers in the area. For the last few months though I've had scheduling conflicts with the Tacoma DUG date.
Here are some other Tacoma area Tech or Startup related groups that I've found. If you're ever at an event from one of these groups and I'm there then please say hi.
Gig Harbor Web Design - Meetup: http://www.gigharborweb.com/
- This is an established monthly meetup which focuses on web design.
Tacoma Lean Startup - Meetup: http://tacoma.leanstartupcircle.com/
- This is a new meetup which focuses on startup businesses or projects.
South Sound Technology Hub - LinkedIn group: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2368577
- This is a LinkedIn group which started as a result of the South Sound Technology Conference.
