Hey @anilkgg. Are you looking to start a Go user group that meets regularly or trying to organize a GoBridge workshop in your area? These aren't mutually exclusive but we want to direct you accordingly.

[anilkgg]

Start a Go user group which meet regularly + how to do Go Bridge workshop or involve with GDN? Thanks!

[jboursiquot]

Ok cool. GDN's currently onboarding existing and active user groups. We will have details and procedures for new groups in the coming weeks.

[jboursiquot]

You can still organize a GoBridge workshop in your area without an existing user group though just to be clear. Happy to help you make that happen when you're ready.
