start-up

I hope I am posting this in the right place - pardon me if I have "done wrong".

I am interested in Drupal as a CMS. I have been combing the web to locate and meet skilled and experienced Drupal developers to identify those who would be interested in working together on a start-up. Am I in the right place? If not, could someone nudge me in the right direction? It would be great if anyone knew of regular meetings where I could attend and meet these types of individuals - preferrably Orange County or the Inland Empire.

Thanks in advance!

Throughout history, great fortunes (financial and otherwise) have nearly all been created not by breakthrough inventions, but through the creative recombining of needs, people, ideas, and technology to bringing valuable innovations to waiting markets.

What if this recombinant process could be automated and scaled to take advantage of the web? The resulting scalable process of recombinant innovation would generate a continuing stream of revenue generating product definitions.
