    Umbracosweden site?

    As a followup to my last question. Any plans to create a site for Sweden as well? Maybe some Swedish meetups etc. One suggestion is to do something together with SWENUG(a .NET users group that I am a member of).

    umbracosweden.org sounds like a nice name, it would match drupalsweden nicely :).

    I've squatted umbracosweden.se, umbracosweden.org,  umbracosverige.se, umbracosverige.org and umbracosverige.nu for a while (ie. redirected them to "the mothership")  to make sure they're not pirated by linkspammers  - and these domains are available - ie. I'll donate them - to a Swedish Umbraco users group on condition that the group is registered as a proper "ideell förening" with a registered set of statures ("stadgar") and has Umbraco as its primary interest.

    So if anyone out there plans to start up a Swedish users group for Umbraco, and think these domain names are OK, just let me know and I'll throw in creation and hosting of a site for the startup effort as well :)

    Updated 13/6 2011:
    Unfortunately I just learned that the above is out of the question since "Umbraco" is not allowed to be used as part of any domain name without exceptions - so the domains I listed above will be left to expire in peace on their own.

    ... unless eg.  @Umbraco could be talked into making an exception in this case for a budding - non-profit -  Swedish Users Group that is (#bestofintentions - #really)  ;)

    Well I can help if others join in, I am fairly new to Umbraco but I expect to have a few "real" sites done this year. I really think a Swedish community site would help Umbracos profile in Sweden.

    I think the best would be if the lead was taken by someone with some experience (I am very experienced in C# btw).

    Is anyone here member of SWENUG? I thought some advertising there would fit the bill. Maybe some meetup in some major City as well?

    We should double up with a LinkedIn group as well, I think Umbraco will really take off with 5.0(just a feeling I have).

    Thank you Åke btw.

    You're welcome :)

    And BTW- Swedegarden seems to be a good startingpoint for Swedes attending CodeGarden '11 to discuss how best to get a users group going (or as the organizer of Swedegarden puts it: Also, this is a kickass way to get an Umbraco user-group going in Sweden.)

    IMHO I agree that Swedegarden could be a very golden opportunity to start this up indeed - and lament the fact that I am unable to attend :(

    I thought so but unfortunatelly I feel it is too early for me to attend. Next year in Copenhagen ;). However, those who do attend could do well to discuss this

    thread. I think there is alot to be won by having a move visible Umbraco community in Sweden. Drupalsweden has set a good example to follow in my humble opinion, for us who prefer the .NET stack that is ;).

    Hi!

    I'd vote for UUGS (like UUGD in Germany) or umSweden (like umBristol). And even if an Umbraco site for the group would be awesome I think the UK groups has very useful and good looking sites http://www.meetup.com/Manchester-Umbraco-Meetup/ 

    Cheers

    Jonas

    My vote goes to UUGS Umbraco User Group Sweden. The domain is free to register.

    Should I do it?

    Sorry for the long time to reply, is there some way to subscribe to this?

    Could we perhaps make a LinkedIn group for Sweden as well? They have a nice discussion system where you can get notifications on items. My main point is still this, name is secondary, the important part is that we get something :).

    We had our first meetup last night in stockholm. It was great, and we've already started planning for our next one.

    I wish I could take credit for some of it, but I haven't done a thing (yet). :) Big cheers to the guys behind the group and the sites! Stephan Kvart, Kalle Ekstrand I think.

    Well, the idea was to do something together. Nothing will happen if we all wait for others to do stuff ;). Nobody expects one
    guy to have to do all work.
