Guidelines for posting to the group?
Hi all -
At the risk of stepping on some toes, I have been noticing that I am having a TON of posts come through my "unread" list through this group, that are really just local user group or camp notices. It tends to feel like slogging through spam, since they're not really of interest to anyone outside the given region.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this group was originally intended to be, but the few posts that have been more relevant to all local user group organizers have been great, so I don't want to leave the group just to avoid all the extraneous posts.

Calling all Local User Group Organizers
Hey all!
I'd like to start this thread as a place for everyone to post a quick update on how their local group is doing.
I'll start by saying that I manage the groups.drupal.org/indiana site.
We've stepped away from the monthly meetups in office-spaces and moved into monthly bar-meets. Where we grab a large section of a local bar and have dinner and drinks together. Group co-founder Aaron Dudenhofer started this after we wnet a few months with no meetings at all. Last month was the beginning of our 3rd year as a group and it was fun to relax w/ dinner, drinks, and friends.
