The Twin Cities, Minnesota is the home of at least 4 monthly drupal meetings (drupal user group, commerce user group, happy hour, & coder night). In addition, we have monthly community labs, occasional code sprints, and the best Drupal Camp in the country :-)
Currently, we have no organizing body beyond the Drupal Camp planning committee, which meets as necessary to plan and organize our camp. We're currently discussing the possible benefits or drawbacks of trying to do a better job of coordination between the various events/groups.
We're wondering how other areas/regions organize themselves, once they've expanded beyond a single user group or camp?
- Have some communities formed their own non-profits?
- Are there any regional "coordinating committees" anywhere - and how do they operate?
- I found this Governance policy from the Los Angeles area. https://groups.drupal.org/node/219129/og-panel/6 - Has anyone else done something like this?
Thanks for your thoughts or input....
