Introductions

Hi everyone, My name is Maximo Mena; I live in Mesa and go to ASU Polytechnic. Inspired by my uncle, who built a web portal for his hometown, I decided to get really good at web design and development. With the help of w3schools.com and many other tutorials, I taught myself how to hand code PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Initially I used to create small web sites from scratch, but I found myself spending a great deal of time programming basic functionality such as user authentication. In other words I was reinventing the wheel.

Greetings! My name is Christian Yates, and I'm migrating from Savannah, GA to Tempe to join the team at ASU's Mars Space Flight Facility as their chief web geek.

Hi, all - So, a quick introduction: I'm Ruth Kneale, systems librarian for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope, a project of the National Solar Observatory. In answer to the inevitable "What's a systems librarian" questions, let me summarize: I'm one of the geeky librarians who lives in the server rooms and keeps the web sites and databases running :-) and if you'd like to know about ATST, visit http://atst.nso.edu/ (not Drupal-driven yet, but soon!).

I hope you don't mind, but I'm in Tucson and not seeing a general Arizona group thought I'd subscribe here.

I'm a big time drupal fan, running it on a personal site, a business site and an educational site. It's made my life as a webmaster a load easier as well as given endusers an easy way to create their own online space.

Hi Everyone. My name is Justin Turner. I am a political consultant who specializes in helping build grassroots organizations for progressive ballot measures. I have lived in Arizona for most of my life, and call it home, although I have also worked in California, Washington, New Mexico, Florida and Ohio.

Howdy, my name is Quinton and I am located in Scottsdale, AZ. I love Drupal!

Since we’re just getting started and I’m the only subscriber... Hello? Anybody there? ... Anyone? ... Bueller? ... Anyway, since I don’t want to be talking to myself, why don’t we introduce ourselves?

John, Everyone. Everyone, I'd like you to meet John Wilkins.
