OpenStack User Groups

The OpenStack International Community team is the main contact point for anybody running a local OpenStack User Group.

Join the mailing list if you are hosting or want to start a user group with meetups, hackatons and other social events talking about OpenStack and free/libre open source software for the cloud.

Check the OpenStackUserGroups/HowTo if you decide that you need to start a new OpenStack User Group in your geographical area.
