Hey All!
We have created a Scala User Groups (http://www.meetup.com/Scala-User-Groups/) meetup group on meetup.com and would like to invite you to join it too.
Renato, Tomer, Jon and I have created a meetup group, to help streamline the SUG efforts. The intention is to make the meetups and discussion forums a central point of communication between the SUGs.
I already added two meetups for Scala.world and Scala eXchange. Please sign up if you are planning to attend the conferences and would like to add to the discussions.
Please use the forums to suggest additional meetups (at conference for instance) or discuss other matter you think are interesting.
If you find other uses for it too, don't hesitate to do so ;)
So all please sign up and suggest places to meet-up!
Cheers,
Joost

Nice work! In case you want to add some more, please check out Typesafe's community page (many Scala confs are shown there, as well as detailing whom from Typesafe will be in attendance/speaking): http://www.typesafe.com/community
Quick question: where would I send a Scala community member to sign up for communication from the SUG leader community? Are we working on this, or is there some ideal mailing list that you know of?
Best,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
I think the place to be now is the new meetup group.
Ask them to join us there: http://www.meetup.com/Scala-User-Groups/
Meetup provides a mailing list for members. I don’t know if it’s setup, but the goals is to use meetup as a central place.
Cheers,
Renato

Hey Oliver,
We are still working on a public facing part. This is just the SUG organiser part for now. We are planning something like scalatribes for public facing.
I feel if this person would want to help with organising they could sign-up too (that sort of implies they are involved with a SUG), but if they are only offering venue/sponsoring or want to speak, we would want to use a different to be determined medium.
Let's start a discussion on the new forum about it ;) http://www.meetup.com/Scala-User-Groups/messages/boards/
Cheers,
Joost

Joost,
The message board on meetup is not ideal as we need to use the browser to use it. It’s better to setup the meetup mailing list.

I changed the settings, the message board is disabled.
The mailing list is enabled. The address is:
We have to use the same email address of your meetup subscription.
I think we’ll have to keep this mailing list and the new one for some time.
Cheers,
Renato

If you mean the one at Google Group, than the answer is yes.
The idea of the new one in Meetup.com is that we can easily see who is who and if everything works as planed we’ll be able to collect SUG leaders via meetup.com api and compare it with members of meetup.com/scala-user-groups.
This will give a good overview of the state of the user groups. Who are the leaders, how active each user group is, etc.
And on top of that we use meetup.com to schedule our meta-meetups. :-)

I think both have different use cases. the forums can be used, when not everyone needs to notified about a particular discussion. Can we keep both?

Joost,
We can enable the message board as well, but I really don’t get the point.
Messages on the message board are also forwarded to everybody, so at the end we’ll have two ways of communicating.
1) Message board (browser only) with notification via email
2) Mailing list (browser and/or email directly) with notification via email
I’ll re-enable it. We’ll see how it evolve and how people prefer to use it.

Good stuff guys.
On a side note, I'm still in favor of a "Global SUG" website that can primarily be used to host content from your local meetups. Meetup.com is definitely part of this picture. But generally, the need to record the presentation is the issue: does anyone currently record your sessions? A Samsung F90 digital HD recorder is less than $200 almost everywhere, and serves most people well enough.
Once we get some traction, it would make sense to then roll it out to Scala luminaries that cannot be somewhere physical to present. The beauty of a virtual meetup/presentation, as we see with vJUG, is that everything is easily recorded on Google Hangout and streamed live to YouTube. Very convenient.
Thoughts?
