I joined this group. Thanks for setting it up. :) FB is a convenient app to connect people for these types of user activities around the world. I find it extremely valuable in Tokyo as we connect to both Japanese and international communities here. And there are a bunch of new OSUGs showing up on FB now, just as there have been on Yahoo and Google for a while. And on LinkedIn, too. I have been starting to add some links to these groups in our OSUG grid. I'm trying not to overlap too much with what we have, but instead just add links so people have more pointers to more groups. There are 133 groups on our grid now in various states of evolution. Also cool is that some OSUGs are forming sub-groups, so if that is a reality in your area I'd like to list you guys as well. Keeping track of all this is not perfect since there are so many platforms offering space now, but at least it's an attempt to collect the data and links: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/advocacy/usergroups/ug-leaders/ Remember, if you'd like opensolaris.org infrastructure (project space & mailing list) you have to propose a new group on advocacy-discuss. The process is simple but there is now a deadline -- June 15th -- to get new group infrastructure on the site before we go into our temporary moratorium for the summer as we prepare to migrate to XWiki. http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-announce/2009-May/002183.html However, if you have a group on another network somewhere, we'd be more than happy to list you on our OSUG leaders grid. We are not only building new OSUGs, Communities, and Projects here on opensolaris.org, but we'd also like to /connect existing/ groups that live on other platforms as well.
