Hi Steven!
Great to see more web hackers around.

Upon speaking with the User Group team it became evident that my
skills and resources are best focused on Web development. Brian
Cameron suggested that I get in contact with the Marketing team in
order to see if there was any overlap.
Building a site for User Groups sounds like a great idea, and it
wouldn't really have to be restricted to the user groups in USA only.
Say we have a space called www.gnome.org/usergroups or maybe
usergroups.gnome.org. This would list all active user groups across the
world and would allow you to find a local user group near where you live.
www.gnome.org/usergroups/mia could then be the site for the GNOME Miami
community. That page could feature upcoming events, a contact person etc.
I created a page with ideas here https://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/UserGroups
Add more ideas to it, then we can start doing mockups and proper
planning after that.
Brian also noted that the Friends of GNOME site (gnome.org/friends
<http://gnome.org/friends>) is not functioning. I'd love to help get
this site working if my WordPress skills can be of assistance.
The site is not actually broken, only the redirect,
http://www.gnome.org/friends/ (with the slash at the end should work).
But yes, we should totally port this to the Wordpress instance so your
Wordpress skill should come very handy here!
I started some work on a new version of the Friends site back in
January, but then got occupied by other things.

There is currently a html version of it here:
http://gitorious.org/gnome-design/gnome-design/trees/master/www/friends-of-gnome-2.0
and it just needs some extra work to get it integrated into the regular
gnome.org site.
The wordpress site is hosted here
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnomeweb-wp and should have everything for
doing a local install for hacking purposes.
