ColdFusion User Group / Community Development BOF
Presented By John Mason
The success of any technology is tightly coupled with the growth and diversity of the community that grows around it. Local user groups are a great resource for developers to exchange ideas and work on their presentation skills. In this session, we'll discuss the various ways to start and develop a local user group in your area. How to find speakers, sponsors and topics? How to run the meetings, and how to market your group and find new members? We'll also talk about some of the common pitfalls in running a user group and how to manage them.

This was a great discussion. Was thinking for next CFUnited we should do something in regards to User Groups for general attendees. Maybe a preso on "Intro to Adobe User Groups" - how to find group, sign up, benefits of joining a user group, etc. Maybe I can present that as a topic for next year.
What are your thoughts about this topic?
