Hi,
I run a 5-person Drupal shop headquartered in Portland. We've been in business 20 years and have been focused on Drupal since 2009.
I would love to get to know and network with other Drupal shop CEOs and managers in this area.
Would anyone be interested in getting together from time to time? In addition to just meeting others who do my same type of job, my objectives are to share lessons learned, war stories, ideas about how to sell/market, manage teams, promote Drupal, contribute to the Drupal community, etc.

Hey Ben, this would be
Hey Ben, this would be perfect for our montly Brewpal meetups. In fact, there is one tonight at Lucky Lab NW Quimby. I'll be there!

Hey Ben, I would also be
Hey Ben,
I would also be interested in setting something up outside of our regular meetups. It would be nice to have a more focused discussion around business issues where everyone involved was a Drupal shop owner. Perhaps others can chime in, but I'm on board.
I'm down
This sounds like it could be fun. I'm in.
Thoughts?
Ben and I met last night at Brewpal and agreed to be more regular :) But we could certainly have a separate meeting if everyone wants. Could everyone here make it to the June 28th Brewpal? Ben and I would like to see it at the Lucky Lab SE for a change. Dan, you're on the east side too, not sure where you are Spencer. We could all talk more about whether we want a separate time and/or a more formal agenda.

Love to meet elsewhere
Honestly, I'm not a fan of Lucky Lab NW. Both the location and the service are challenging. Happy to attend elsewhere though.
Yes, I'm planning on making
Yes, I'm planning on making it to the next Brewpal. I'm in Vancouver so location doesn't really matter (it's always a drive). Let's talk on June 28th and see if it makes sense to organize something separately.
Sounds good - let's meet
Hi guys,
Sorry I didn't look for more responses here sooner than today! If anyone wants to meet up before the 28th, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll see you at the next Brewpal.
You can reach me via email at ben@aeronet.net if you're interested in connecting sooner. I'll try to check back here too.

Checking In
What's the consensus for tonight? I forgot to ask Amber to move it to Lucky Lab SE and it's too late now. I see Dan's not a fan of NW, but are you guys Ben and Spencer planning on coming tonight?

Not going tonight
John, I ended up being on baby duty tonight so I'm not going to make it after all. Feel free to grab me (you or anyone else) at a future DUG/Brewpal, though, and we can talk shop.
