We love Oakland. Read this 1. This is an Oakland group. Please post your photos of other places -- such as Berkeley, Alameda, and Emeryville -- in the groups for those places. Photos should be family appropriate [your hoohoo and weewee shots should go in the Naughty Oakland group]. 2. If you know of a great photo op or upcoming event (Oakland or nearby), post it here. 3. We sometimes have meetups. Check the discussion board to see if there's one coming up. If you have time, place, or other preferences or suggestions for future meetups, please post them here. If you want to organize a meetup, feel free to do so by posting details ("I will be at this place, at this time, on this day, please join me.") as a new topic. 4. You may post to the discussion board about anything you want -- announcements, questions, favorite things lists, meetups, promoting a set of super excellent Oakland photos you took, etc. -- and are encouraged to do so, as long as it's Oakland related and you keep it family friendly so the Yahoo legal folks don't go all PMRC on us. 5.
