        <summary>When you want to have consistent talks you should be up to date and have someone who can explain something.
For that it is of help that some publishers and companies have sponsoring programms for usergroups in place.

Here we want to list some, what they provide and where you can register. If you get books or other written material by them, you should be so kind and write a review when you liked the thing they send you. That way you encourage them to continue supporting you. The reviews you can …</summary>

        <summary>Here are some things that I think may help, this is intended as a basis of discussion.

- Meeting mode 
I've found that some groups have a very casual mode, get together in a public location and chat, very social approach.
Others have a slightly more formal approach. I think both modes are good but it's good to note up front which mode you are in.

If you get to the second meeting then you are sorted.

I think here it's time to discuss a web site no matter how simple or small or big or complicated.
I suggested start small and grow, html works too.

There may be very different opinions about the group website and its purpose in life.
I think it should at least contain:</summary>

Congratulations!

The first meeting is a brilliant experience!

Lots of first meets are scheduled for less than 5 people (ours was for 2) so don't worry about numbers.

In fact don't worry about anything, just arrange a location, publicize it for a few weeks, and try to get there on time.</summary>
