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
San Francisco Users Helping Users
Come to SFDUG headquarters at the corner of Main and Folsom for the latest instalment of Users Helping Users.
We don't have a presentation at these events, instead we bring together a group of Drupal experts and Drupal newcomers to help answer each others questions.
This happens monthly on the 4th Tuesday of the month. So if you can't make it this time we'll see you in October.
See http://www.meetup.com/SFDUG-San-Francisco-Drupal-Users-group/events/1943... for more information.

Detailed Descriptions of Meetups
When editing and adding meetups below, be as descriptive as you'd like. It may be helpful to businesses and traveling community members for them to have as much information as possible.
Frontend Drupal / Design 4 Drupal
The Frontend Drupal / Design 4 Drupal meetups are on the 4th Tuesday and are usually in Culver City, CA. They focus on design, theming, usability, typography and other frontend-related topics.
With enough notice, Downtown Los Angeles Drupal organizers can produce special events at Droplabs on the 4th Wednesday in Downtown Los Angeles.
Droplabs already hosts several Drupal meetups each month, including the High Performance Drupal and general Downtown Los Angeles Drupal meetups. These meetups have had attendance of between 20-65 attendees.
The San Gabriel Valley Drupal meetups are on the 4th Thursday in San Gabriel Valley (usually Pasadena, CA). They have a general focus and have an attendance of between 15-30 attendees.
The San Diego Drupal Users Group meetups are on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. We have a mixed structure with some planned content and some ad-hoc content, and we usually have a small social meetup at the Prado down the street afterwards.
The San Diego North County DUG meetups are on the 4th Thursday of every month in Carlsbad, CA at the NAMM headquarters in the Museum Of Making Music. This meetup averages about 10-15 users, most of which are seasoned Drupalers. Content is purely ad-hoc, and you may be asked to talk about what you've been doing recently.
