Drupal Career Desired
I have been working on vb/c# .net web projects over the past 10 years, but have recently(past year) begun to develop sites in Drupal in my spare time. I have found I really enjoy Drupal as a CMS solution and would love to start a career as a Drupal developer.
I consider myself a senior .net developer. I've worked on enterprise solutions for large companies such as BofA and USAir. I've also worked for smaller companies. I have experience working with Oracle(PL-SQL), SQL Server(T-SQL), HTML, XML, and more. I have developed integration solutions using web services and other middleware.

ONLY 4 SEATS LEFT - PROFESSIONALIZING YOUR DRUPAL DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT, PRESENTED BY ZIVTECH
A Drupal development environment includes your local and development servers, text editor, version control system, bug tracking system and shell configurations. A Drupal development workflow includes strategies for handling patches, deployment, updating a local site, server access and code management. An effective and standardized system greatly increases efficiency and reduces frustration for developers, whether freelance or part of a large team, but it can be difficult to set aside time to optimize your system or to get quick and practical help doing so.

Planning Your Site Workshop
Description
Drupal is more than a content management system. It is a powerful data management framework with the flexibility to be shaped into just about any type of online experience your audience needs. In order to take advantage of this flexibility, you need to see beyond the web page and into the relationship between your site’s content and Drupal’s architecture.

No. Virginia Meetup
We've started discussions to revive the Northern Virginia Drupal meetup. We don't want to compete with the awesome meetup in DC at Stetsons (as if we could!), but if folks want to gather elsewhere to talk about Drupal, I'm not going to discourage it!
We have some location suggestions which I will be looking into. If you have an alternate suggestion, feel free to post it here, or at the Meetup group:
http://www.meetup.com/drupal-21/
We will probably want to get a bit farther out than Arlington, (where we were previously) so we can make the trip a bit easier for those coming in.
