Get the most from Notes®

I'm sure most of you are aware of the Lotus User Group site, but how up to date is it? I'm not pointing out that I have seen any inaccuracies, far from it as I find the site excellent, but I see for us here in Europe there is no Swedish user group - which I find hard to believe, nor Finnish - though I have heard rumours of one being set up.

As you all know, the community is one of the real strengths of Notes but there are still Notes professionals who don't participate despite a thriving group in their area, and corners of the world that are not covered.

So the point of this post is simple; if you aren't involved in a user group at all then please follow these steps:
Go to http://lotususergroup.org/usergroups.nsf/Rugs#top and see if there is one for your area.
If there is one, go to their website.
Look for the next event, visit the forums, register. Do whatever you can to get involved and feel the Lotus love.

If there isn't, post in the forums about it or post a reply here because if there is a group that isn't listed then someone might point you in the right direction. If there is no user group, the more people there are that would be interested in your area, the more chance that someone (maybe you) will take the initiative and set one up and spread the Lotus love where you are.

Fundamentally, at Teamstudio we want the Notes community to thrive and will do whatever we can to strengthen it. One of these ways is through user groups and we look to support user groups wherever we can, whether it is through sponsorship, speaker slots or something less visible. So if you run a user group, feel free to contact us so that we can work together to make your user group a beacon for the Notes community in your country or region.
