SeaDUG meets monthly to talk about Drupal, to plan related events, and to socialize. During SeaDUG meetings we showcase modules and projects, share tips and tricks, and answer nagging questions about Drupal.
We welcome participants from all skill levels and all disciplines related to website building and development - marketers, project managers, developers, designers, writers, devops, user researchers, QA, and more.

A Drupal RDBMS - custom content types, Webform, or both?
I have been hired by a client to build an intranet RDBMS for them to keep better track of their client information and appointments. I want to use Drupal 7 as opposed to a custom PHP/MySQL setup, as it has so many pre-buit functions that cut down development time. I am torn between the best way of going about this. I know to use Views in any case, but should I create custom content types, use Webforms, or a combination of both? I ask this because in pure database terms, the data tables will need to have a relational reference to one another (i.e. foreign keys).

Do Front-end Developers need to code custom modules, too?
I have 4 years experience in building and theming Drupal websites. I also like creating new designs in Photoshop and converting them to beautiful, interactive themes. My specialty is called Front-end Development and my skills are in HTML5/CSS, jQuery, some PHP/mySQL. Recently, as I've been browsing the Drupal job ads, I noticed several companies were advertising for Front-end Developers who also can do custom module development.

Build a Desktop and Mobile-ready Drupal Site in a Day
This all-day workshop is a hands-on introduction to building a mobile and desktop ready website using the free, open-source content management system Drupal.
Where: Silver Cloud Inn, Lake Union, Seattle
Cost: $40 ($25 for students with student ID)
BoF mini-mtg - Continuous integration with aegir, git, jenkins and bug tracking
I've been reading a lot about this whole "continuous integration" and "zero touch workflow," and was wondering if any one else would be interested in meeting to figure it all out and build out/test a full environment.
WHY - continuous integration with source control means never having to say you're sorry.
Reply if you're interested so I can gauge the general interest, and if you'd be available Thursday (afternoon?) to meet around the Amazon Campus (to be nice to any volunteers for the upcoming summit who will also be meeting around there).

Seeking Drupal Consultant
I am in Seattle and seeking a few hours of paid consultation on a highly customized Drupal 6 site. Specifically, I would like to investigate the best way to develop/implement a mobile theme without redesigning the entire site and hopefully without moving to Drupal 7. I would really appreciate knowing where it would be appropriate to post this. Thanks.
