Join the Advocacy Community
The first step in getting involved in OpenSolaris User Groups on opensolaris.org is to join the Advocacy Community.
Join an OpenSolaris User Group
Look for user groups in your area. If you find one, simply join that group's list, introduce yourself, get to know the members, and participate. Here are 10,000 images of OpenSolaris people around the world to help you associate names and faces.
Start a New OpenSolaris User Group
Community Groups, Projects, and User Groups are approved via processes outlined in the OpenSolaris Governing Board's "Lifecycle Administrative Procedures" document, which is part of the OpenSolaris Constitution. To engage the implementation procedures after a new group is proposed and approved, see the website infrastructure procedures here.
OSUG Leader Responsibilities on opensolaris.org
As a leader of your new user group, it is expected that you will maintain your XWiki space and Mailman mailing list (filter spam, add/remove names, communicate with the OpenSolaris webmaster and other community members on advocacy-discuss and osug-leaders, etc), just as all the other Collective Leaders in the OpenSolaris Community. Please review the documents below so you are clear about website issues, especially the policies around mail list management. For instance, if lists are not used and properly managed, they can be deleted after a period of time.
