Coordinating Groups

[eleddy]

Hey All -

Like I mentioned earlier, I will be posting to the existing user list
at http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/usergroups . I apologize
for the inconvenience. I just wanted to let late joiners know, plus a
reminder for those that haven't signed up yet.

I actually tried to post to the list but it's yelling at me right now
and I'll try and get stuff figured out before we rely on it solely but
for now we can deal with google redirects (don't use chrome) and
discuss here. Message is below and I'll try and cross post.

Hey Hey Plone User Groupers -

We are just getting started with the San Francisco Bay Area Meetup!
While we are still trying to get footing, at our next meetup we are
going to try a mini-sprint. The goal will be to use 2-4 ish hours to
hang out, have some beers, and tackle some low hanging fruit. Our
first sprint will be dedicated to getting material together on putting
together user groups! There are a couple groups just getting started
besides mine, and I want to start a discussion around a couple things:

1. What is working for you all? What isn't working? How are you
fighting apathy? etc... Any advice is appreciated and I'll attempt to
mush it into some sort of document.
2. What resources do you have that are working? i.e. do you use
meetup.com for scheduling, do you have your own website, etc... I
would love it if the user groups could share tools amongst each other
as well. Ideas appreciated.
3. How do you feel about coordinating on sprints/meetups? If multiple
user groups attacked a problem one month, we could get pretty far
pretty fast. Anyone interested in that? I'd be happy to coordinate.

Looking forward to your feedback!
