Research Triangle Park Area Technical User and Special Interest Groups

While user groups can be a great way to find like-minded people, some of us are interested in more than one topic. This site is intended to act as an information resource to allow Triangle-area computer professionals to easily find local user groups they might be interested in. This list is heavily slanted to the computer industry, but is open to other scientific, research, or technical-oriented groups as well.

If you know of a technical special interest group or user group in the RTP area that's not on this list, or have a correction to the list (new URL or other new contact information, let me know. If the group does not have a website, send me a group name with a one-sentence description of the group's focus, and a contact name with an email or telephone number.

Monthly Calendar

With all these groups, how do you plan your evenings? For most people, the answer is "Some other way than spending an evening listening to tech stuff I tried to leave at the office." For the rest of us, look below.

This is a "perpetual" calendar of all groups that have a "second Tuesday of every month" meeting time listed. Many of the groups listed above do not have a specified and regular meeting day, and are not listed in this summary. Also, some groups will occasionally or have special meetings, so check with them first.

To do: Cleaned out the inactive groups from the lists above and moved dead links to the Inactive groups list below, but have not gone through and updated the calendar below. Apologies. If you see a group listed under "first Monday" for example, check to see if it's in the Inactive Groups list below the calendar. When I clean the calendar I will delete this paragraph.
