I put my name in the ring as one of those people.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My main focus is going to be running the Raleigh triDUG meet-ups. The next one in Raleigh will be mid-May 2011. The triDUG group alternates meetings between Raleigh and Durham each month. Alan explained that in the past, finding a central location in the RTP area has been difficult and didn&#8217;t work out for more than a few months.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got a lot of ideas for the group and want to create some new energy and interest for Drupal in the Triangle area. Look for some new activity from your triDUG leadership. A few things we are looking to try:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>monthly planning meetings on IRC to set meet-up agenda&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li>a potential lunch and learn series<\/li>\n<li>triDUG presence at CityCamp Raleigh (to be announced)<\/li>\n<li>a Summer \/ Fall series on getting started with Drupal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few things we discussed. And we are definetly open to your ideas as well. So if you&#8217;re interested in Drupal and you live in the Triangle area, be sure to sign-up on <a title=\"triDUG on g.d.o\" href=\"http:\/\/groups.drupal.org\/tridug\" target=\"_blank\">groups.drupal.org<\/a> to get the lastest updates.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the most exciting part for me? Being part of a local community that is passionate about Drupal. The challenge for me? I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;m getting into, but I&#8217;m looking forward to putting on my community building hat and breathing life into triDUG to make it a premier Drupal User Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, I met with Alan Freeman and Greg Monroe from triDUG.
