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,
djohns
