I thought ALErs might be interested in the following post from
ossatlanta.org<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">My name is Cheyenne, president of the local
ColdFusion User Group in
Atlanta. Over the past few years I have talked with other user group
presidents and organizers. We tend to face a lot of the same obstacles
in keeping our groups running.<br>
<br>
- promoting the meetings, especially to newer and younger audiences<br>
- finding speakers and topics of interest in Atlanta<br>
- getting sponsors and prizes<br>
- knowing what other groups are doing and presenting upon<br>
- securing venues sometimes in other areas of town<br>
<br>
With the help of other user group organizers, I am putting together a
resource for the various user groups in the Atlanta area.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.atlantausergroups.com/" target="_blank">http://www.<span
class="il">AtlantaUserGroups</span>.com</a><br>
<br>
As you can see I've gone ahead and pre-populated a lot of the site with
various user groups and upcoming events to demonstrate the value this
site will have for both user group organizers and visitors to the
site. Leaders of various local Flex, PHP, SQL, Agile, FoxPro,
InDesign, Unix, Owasp and other user groups have already joined the
site.</blockquote>
