Welcome
For Drupal users of the Amador Valley, Livermore Valley and San Ramon Valley (Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville CA), however, all are welcome.
Let's Make a Go of It
After getting a chance to talk Drupal and WebDev with some folks earlier this week I really want to see if we can keep this ball rolling. I like staying local (not that there is anything wrong with Berkeley, their DUG is pretty cool!), but as Mark was pontificating... it's nice to see what we've got going in this side of the hill.
So shout it out! Speak Up! Use that little comment link that we are all so familiar with.
Is Danville out of the way?
Would Dublin or P-town be better?
Wednesday good/bad?
Afternoon better/worse?
What is your favorite version of Drupal?

Read moreJarvis Music Associates - Our First Drupal Site (kinda)
In the summer of 2006, I started searching for podcasts to listen to during my morning jog. There really was not a whole bunch to choose from. I did however, get hooked on the Lullabot Podcast even though I had no idea what a Lullabot was. Hmm... I still don't. Anywhoo, Drupal 4.7 was about to be released and Dagaz was looking for a CMS solution to offer our clients. So thanks to Lullabot we decided to go with Drupal.
After a handful of test sites, we (Dagaz) developed our first Drupal site for the Tri-Valley church organ specialist Jarvis Music Associates.
Read moreRoll Call
We may have lost a little momentum... I wanted to spark it back up, and prep us for our first meeting next month :) (elsterama (hope the leg situation is better))
So, as we get ready for a real life meet-up, perhaps a bit of a roll-call here in the group forum. I was thinking:
- a little about yourself
- your drupal experince/knoweledge/dreams or desires
- plans/projects
- full-time drupler/part-time drupaler/weekend drupaler
- what you are interested in getting with this group
- any talents, skills, knowledge you think you want to share with your new best friends :)

PLEASE NOTE: I am truly sorry for the late notice, but due to a broken leg, this month's Initial Tri-Valley Drupalers Gathering is canceled.
