Rhode Island may be a tiny state, but Drupal's making a pretty big splash here. We've been having regular meetups for the past year in Providence via DrupalPVD.org with new faces every month. Our focus is equal parts designer, developer and site owner; our goal is to help everyone learn, grow and share their experience working with and on the Drupal platform.
Our other source of Drupal company is the Boston group which caters to all of Massachusetts and occasionally has meetings close to Rhode Island.

Drupal Workshop - Dec. 2-3, 2010
Offered at our convenient Waltham, MA facility - this workshop has something for everyone. Day 1 introduces Drupal - its functionality, benefits, and myriad ways to customize the software to suit your needs. We also roll up our sleeves and get some hands-on experience. Day 2 continues the hands-on side of things - expanding your knowledge to work on it yourself or make informed decisions when staff or consultants are implementing it. We are keeping the class size small, so there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and speak to our Drupal/Open Source experts.

Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi. I have been using Drupal for the past six months or so and would love a chance to talk to other Drupal developers in a casual setting.
So are there scheduled meet ups or would people be interested in setting something up somewhere in Providence?

Read moreDrupal Meetup this Tuesday at MIT! Also, your preferred term for someone who does Drupal is:
Drupal Cafe - Setting up a Debuging Platform
Demo by Jon Lee.
On the docket this week is a how-to on setting up a development environment on your computer. Have you tried to fix bugs in your or someone else's module by injecting code that prints out select variables for you? After this cafe, you will be able to forgo that frustrating process and instead be able not only to monitor all of the variables in the code, but also to step through your and Drupal's code one line at a time!

Hello from PVD
Hey guys my name is Amanda, I have been working with Drupal on my own for a bit over a year now so I am definitely a newbie. I have been a member here for a while but have just lurked in the shadows.
I'm not sure if I have met some of you - I was at the Design 4 Drupal camp a few months back and was at the Lullabot training here. I am also related to Jacine on here and d.o who did the Sky theme and is involved with the Skinr module...
