Hey Arman, Dave here. Sorry for not replying sooner.
I would indeed be interested in getting together to try and start something going here in teh East Bay. indeed, I am really suprised that DNN is not as popular in the Bay Area.
I actually have a live DNN 4.8.3 (upgrading to 4.8.4 soon) site, using the Forums module up and running at the school I work for: http://techsupport.psr.edu/colleague, if you want to check it out.
