I wanted to go over some basic details about the group... I'll probably also post some of this information on the "About Us" page.

Gallery
I'd like to see pictures of devMeet activities go in here (deviants or things deviants have done, eg art). So get to submitting/suggesting deviations!

Favorites
I'd like to see pictures of the bay area go in here. Pictures taken at devMeets that aren't of deviants or something deviants created/left behind/something similar should go here, too. So get to suggesting deviations!

Founder
The founder is currently me. I would like to pass this position off to someone who has the desire to and time to plan/run devMeets and guide the group account. If no-one steps up to this by the time I permanently leave the Bay Area, the position will get passed on to ^quietchildae or *drackar, who can then pass it on to whoever meets the requirements.

Co-Founders
Co-founders are people who regularly plan devMeets. They can post blogs regarding devMeets and clear blogs posted by members. They also can clear deviations submitted to the gallery. Co-founders will also be resources for contributors and members for planning and running devMeets.

Contributors
Contributors will be people who semi-regularly plan devMeets. They have the ability to post blogs and clear gallery and favorites submissions/suggestions.

Members
Members can also plan devMeets, but their blogs will need to be cleared by the founder or a co-founder.

Super Group
Being a super group apparently gives us some devMeet options/capabilities. I don't know if they'd be useful or not to us. But becoming a super group costs $60/year right now, and will go up to $120/year after groups comes out of beta. Are we interested in doing this? I used to be able to afford $30/year, but a subscription didn't really provide anything we needed... and I definitely can't afford $60/year on my own right now. So, if we want to become a super group, I'll set up a PayPal email until a contribution feature is released.

Our application to be a group was accepted!

Please start joining the group and suggesting favorites (I'd like to have a central location for all deviations related to our devMeets).

Have fun!

We just submitted our application to be converted to a group. Which is awesome! And while groups is still in beta, it really is a very cool thing to have to play with. So...hold on, while we get transitioned over!

Based off our last journal, I get the feeling that most people are pretty busy/not interested in a holiday meet. Which is totally ok, because I'm actually really really busy myself this coming up month. But come the new year, we'll get started on some meetups!! Look for more info then, and everyone have a great holiday season!

Well. `yashachan is off to school for awhile, and is taking a bit of a dA break. So, there are some new folks running the group - myself, ^quietchildae and ~TheKingMakers!

There are a couple of devmeets in the making already:
Santa Cruz:
~TheKingMakers has an older thread going here

San Jose:
*sucubusbriarrose has a more specific thread for San Jose here.

Berkely:
~genjihl is looking to organize a weekly meeting in Berkeley to hang out and draw. He asks that you send him note if you're interested.


I guess I'm trying to gauge interest in the group, see who's doing what, where, and who wants to do what!

How many people are interested in a holiday meetup somewhere/sometime? I know time is short, but we could pull something off, I'm sure. Feel free to comment here, or note myself and ~TheKingMakers with any ideas you may have

-I (^quietchildae) will be making an effort to log into this account at least once a week - if you need a quick response, your best bet is to note me and ~TheKingMakers
