SUMMARY:OrlandoJUG April - Experiences Leading a User Group
DESCRIPTION:We have a special guest speaker. Chris Schaefer of Sara
 sota Software Engineers (fmrly SunJUG) will give a talk! \n\nExperie
 nces Leading a User Group  Abstract User groups are a great way to get
  out and network with other people in the industry locally, listen to 
 presentations and participate. User groups are also similar to open so
 urce projects as community members and their contributions drive the g
 roup’s success. Contributions could be in form of presentations, att
 endance, event coordination help, sponsorships, and anything else that
  benefits the group as a whole.  I took over as the leader of the “S
 arasota Java Users Group” (SunJUG) at the end of 2013, which as of 2
 015 has evolved into the “Sarasota Software Engineers User Group” 
 (SSEUG).  Having no prior experience organizing a user group, a numbe
 r of lessons have been learned and many changes have been made along t
 he way.  During this talk we will walk through the timeline from when 
 I first became involved as the organizer, the good, the bad and where 
 we are now. Not only will we look at my experience with the organizati
 onal aspect of leading a user group but also how group members can pla
 y an active and important role just as with an open source project.\n\
