Hi--


What do you have going on with your group that we should know?
Send me the details, web site, date, and anything else handy. We're
looking for things like code camps, events, projects, and joint
ventures with other groups to highlight.

We've started a new blog at O'Reilly and I'm looking for UG activities
to include. Here's the link to check it out:

Update on the UG wiki: You now have to use a password and user name
to update our UG wiki. We are getting wikispam and some of the content
was removed (but we fixed it!)

To update your info or add your group please login with:
username: usergroups

Thanks for your help!
