During introductions at last night's New York City Drupal User Group (NYCDUG) meetup, each person said a variation of "Hi my name is ________. My drupal.org name is __________. I'm a _________ at ___________." Some included how long they'd been working with drupal, usually because it had only been a few months. It's a nice thing to share because it reminds the rest of us to make sure we're not leaving anyone out when we casually mention advanced concepts. I think the community is pretty good at embracing the tentative and uncertain beginners and making them feel included.
