The focus of this group is to be a educational and tutorial resource for new and experienced Drupal users. Hopefully we can get a mix of both as we will need some experienced Druploids to answer the tough questions and some newbies to ask them.
Drupal has a learning curve and the more education around it the better!
The idea is to meet up every other week and come with some questions or problems you encountered developing over the last couple weeks and get them fixed. In the process, everyone should be able to pick up some new tricks.
There is a group in San Francisco, but for those that live in the Daly City to Redwood City area, it would be cool to have a place to meet up every couple weeks.
Cheers,

New Drupal implementation: Pitfalls?
The County of San Mateo is going Drupal !...
Now, and before we get too existed and start repeating the same mistakes some of us have made, I was wondering if anybody was willing to reach out and share some of the pitfalls they encountered in the course of their migration.
I am not necessarily talking technical aspect but also how to evangelize an organization, establish workflows and maintain editorial and UX styles throughout a large government organization.
