This page is an attempt to gather detailed information about Debian Local Groups around the world, for integration of that information into Debian infrastructure and also in order to improve the quality and quantity of events and the promoting of Local Groups initiatives. If you would like to add a new local group to this page, please enter the short name of your group below, with no spaces. If you are the maintainer of a group page, you are expected to subscribe to both it and the [[LocalGroupsTemplate|template]] or subscribe to the RecentChanges RSS feed so that you are notified when your group page is out of sync with the template and more information needs to be added.
