Hey Drupallers, I am frazras, a co-admin in the Jamaica Drupal User group. I will be spending the next two or so years in Trinidad and Tobago as of next week.
Having just left the September meetup of the Jamaica Drupal group, I would really love to know that there is a thriving group of Drupallers/Drupalistas in T&T who I can lime with - even to organize an October meetup.
I realize this group has been a bit on the quiet side so I am sending out a PING - soo ACK if you are still alive in this group and if you are interested in a meetup.
I definitely would not be familiar with the best locations and time for this group but I'm sure we all can work out a nice spot.

I am glad to know there is at least 1 person alive in the group, if anyone else is alive and lurking don't hesitate to indicate by just saying "here!"
I am now in Tobago (with sucky internet) - I am writing this from the Esplanade in Scarborough using free WIFI as we speak. TSTT apparently has run out of internet connections for new accounts for the entire island 0.O hope this isn't the beginning of sorrows. I am also having mixed results with bmobile's mobile WIFI
Anyways - I am still looking to work anyone here who is in the circle, I know xamount was active in the early days, hope others will popup. Otherwise we probably have to plan a 2 person meetup down south with trinikrono :-D

I am here! I have not been

I am here! I have not been present in Trinidad a lot recently but I am here now. If you guys want to do a Drupal meet up, let's go for it. Are you guys interested in going to the Drupal conference in Peru in Jan 2014?

That looks really interested, i wonder how much will it cost xamount, it looks like a good event to take part of.
I suggest we meet up to see who is interested in going, i wonder what happened to fazras though, did he make it to Trinidad?

Yup I'm here in Tobago for the past 2.5 months. Still checking out the tech scene. I was at startup weekend T&T and I met with the guys by UWI for some Drupal training, they are about to do a conversion. Let me know if you guys are still up for a meetup, then I will try and book a flight over.
P.S. Maybe best after the holidays because most flights have already been booked ;-P

Based In Tobago?

Frazras,

I'm now reading this thread and it sounds like you may be based in Tobago. I live here and am definitely interested in linking up.

Sure! I am willing to meet

Sure! I am willing to meet all the tech enthusiasts in and around T&T. I am living in Tobago so for starters we could plan somn on this side, maybe you know the Drupal posse in these part so we can invite them all out.
I'm in Idlewild not too far from Scarborough. I am not too familiar with the meetup spots here as yet so you can let me know what would be a good time and place.

Cool. I'm actually tied up

Cool. I'm actually tied up with xmas and family until after the new year. Will touch base on Jan 2nd.

As far as Drupal posse in Tobago...no such thing as far as I know. We may be it. But we could start something up.

Maybe a meet up sometime

Maybe a meet up sometime between around dec 27th to 29?

I did a quick cost estimation for the Peru trip. I came up with approx US$1500 which covers airfare, hotel and food for about a week and 2-3 days. Anything extra is additional.

I am willing to go.
