Cleveland Drupal Meetup Group
Is anyone interested in helping me to organize a Drupal users group here in Cleveland via Meetup? I know it would seem best to use drupalcleveland.info here to do so, but I think we can use meetup to attract a wider audience of newcomers by categorizing it with social media, marketing, small business, etc. Of course, we will mention drupalcleveland.info in the description. Eh? Anyone?
I would love to do a meetup soon. I will be doing a photo contest soon on a drupal site(livecleveland.org) and would like to get as much input as possible. It seems like a mix of cck and views with imagefield and one of the rating modules is what we have to work with right now. Also the launch of Drupal 7 should be enough to talk all night. Hope fully we could get some interest here. Jeff-- are you able to email all your members and gage interest?
I just signed up for the Drupal Meet-Up and would like to iterate that I am able to extend my assistance to help this group get off the ground here in Cleveland.

James: you rock. Your offer to help is much appreciated, and I'll be sure to take you up on it.
I'm hoping for the first meeting we can meet-and-greet, and try to gauge how to gear the next few meetings.
My guess is that we'll have quite a broad cross-section of proficiencies and interests. I'd like to figure out how to make this broadly accessible and, at the same time, ensure we have opportunities to really get into down-and-dirty details.
If you have -- or anyone has -- any thoughts here, I'm all ears.
Please: start thinking about meeting topics -- what would you like to learn, and what would you like to share?

This idea has been bouncing around, doing nothing, for too long. I decided the other day to just create a Meetup and kickstart things.
Please sign up, spread the word, and let's get this goin!
Can't wait to meet y'all find ways to share, learn, collaborate...
I am also willing to speak on most of these topics.
I'm looking forward to your drush-make talk already!
It looks like Meetup allows group members to submit ideas for meetings -- feel free to start adding at http://www.meetup.com/cleveland-drupal/ideas/
