I'm writing an article about The Golden Era of User Groups, and I'd love your input.
This idea came to me when I mentioned user groups to a young person who'd never heard of them. Oh no! It was such a special time of community support! Let's not permit the memories to go away!
So tell me about your experiences!
The basics:
When, where, what type of group, how big it was.
Your role, if relevant. (e.g. I was president of one group, VP of another, and on an international board of user groups... you might be "just a member" which is fine!)
Your memories: How involved were you, for how long? What drew you to the user group? What made it special?
Mostly I want to hear stories, anecdotes, and nostalgia. So please share! (And let me know if I can quote you, at least by first name.)
