[Sigia-l] Local IA Groups

[Jason Pryslak]

A new section has been posted to the AIfIA site. The Local IA Groups
Initiative has been hard at work trying to create a resource that
could help anyone interested in creating a local group.

We scoured the net for some helpful resources, we surveyed seasoned
local group coordinators, and we addressed some of the challenges
faced by people trying to coordinate local discussions around IA.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is a local IA group?
They've been called Local Groups, Cocktail Hours, Salons, F2F, etc.
The main idea is that a group of people get together regularly
(monthly, quarterly, etc.) to discuss IA related topics.

This initiative is coordinated by Jason Pryslak and Samantha Starmer
with guidance from Lou Rosenfeld and with the input of group
coordinators from around the world.

hope you enjoy :)
