I was thinking of coming along as a new developer. I am in the process of building a site for this project: http://www.fhsst.org

Is it open to everyone?

Yes, anyone interested in Drupal can attend. Just be sure to sign up on the wiki. We are running out of chairs.

Ugh, just my luck, I can't make it before 5:00 or 5:30. Would it be possible in the future to hold these things after hours?

SF Meeting

As a person who has been using/working with drupal for 3 years now it was great to finally meet some other people in the area.

I think there were about 35+ people at the meeting.

It was a great meeting and is now scheduled for once a month, which will be great.

Looking forward to next months meeting.

Thanks a lot to the folks at civicspacelabs for hosting the event!!!

If it was after 5 then I could schedule making it, but if it's during business hours, it's more difficult.

There were a lot of good things about the meeting. Kaliya Hamlin was both the covenor and facilitator - she did a superb job. I particularly enjoyed talking to Kieran Lal and Neil Drumm and everybody at goodstorm.com.

A number of drupal issues were raised - many dealing with module and theme development. The primary message out of the meeting: drupal needs your help - and any help is welcomed...
