I have a client who wants to bid on a "large RFP", that involves a Drupal-driven site. I'm not a Drupal guy but would love to team up with one or more of you to put together a bid. I know it's not a lot of details (definitely not enough to even do a ballpark), but if you want to talk about it, call me: Craig Snyder, 763-951-3132 or email: craig(at)electricfusion.com. Both my client and I would prefer to keep the business local too.
