OpenSolaris User Groups: Locations & Lists

Welcome!

The table below lists the 72 OpenSolaris User Groups currently sponsored by the Advocacy Community Group. Each user group is offered a project space on opensolaris.org, a Mailman discussion list, and, if requested, a Jive forum gateway. But the UGs are all independent and in different states of evolution: most groups are open and active, some groups have not opened or don't want project spaces yet, other groups use mailing lists but not forums, and a couple of groups use forums on Yahoo or Google off of opensolaris.org entirely. We try and list as many here as we can. Also, activity and leadership varies through the year, so check the links below for the status of each user group.

There has never been a formal Sun program to create and support OSUGs. Instead, this has always been a community effort with Sun contributing website infrastructure and also some swag from time to time. So, what you see below is basically organic growth. Since the Advocacy CG sponsors the OSUGs, we encourage everyone to subscribe to advocacy-discuss (sign up, archives, forum) so we can have conversations across all the user groups around the world about governance, resources, and infrastructure issues. We also suggest that everyone subscribe to opensolaris-announce for community-wide global announcements and ogb-discuss for governance issues.

If you'd like to propose a new user group, the process is simple and everything is outlined here. If you have any questions, bring them to advocacy-discuss.
