This from today's mail:
My name is Dhanaraj and I am a grad student at Georgia Tech interested in doing some research on open source software businesses in the Atlanta/Georgia area. Specifically I want to talk to businesses/consultants that are involved in OSS development for commercial purposes - their main product/service is OSS based.
the objectives here are to (1) get an idea of the size and make-up of OSS firms, (2) find out what are some of the challenges facing OSS businesses in Atlanta (and perhaps Georgia) and (3) how state level conditions (such as laws, labor, etc.) help/hinder them.
so I am writing you to see if you know of sources (people/organizations) that could help me identify OSS businesses/consultants in Atlanta (and/or Georgia)? I see you have a list on your website - I was wondering where else I could check.

A recent article in Network World listed 'open source specialist' as one of the 10 Best Jobs right now in IT. Sharpen those skill, folks.
From the article: "We are seeing a ton of demand for skills around open source technologies and frameworks. Demand for Python, Ruby on Rails and PHP development skills far exceeds the number of people available with skills," said Michael Kirven, co-founder and principal of IT resource firm Bluewolf. |

Some people have asked for a copy of the talk I gave at the AUUG meeting in December. It's in Apple Keynote format, and 85Mb, since it has embedded video. |

There's a new meetup in the area for the new year, CRMAtlanta. Although it strictly isn't an open source meetup, it's being spearheaded by Josh Sweeney, the local SugarCRM guru, who's just launched a new site: crmstage.com, where you can find tutorials and modules for SugarCRM. |

This is the mail from before the weekend:
My name is Cheyenne, president of the local ColdFusion User Group in Atlanta. Over the past few years I have talked with other user group presidents and organizers. We tend to face a lot of the same obstacles in keeping our groups running.
- promoting the meetings, especially to newer and younger audiences
- finding speakers and topics of interest in Atlanta
- getting sponsors and prizes
- knowing what other groups are doing and presenting upon
- securing venues sometimes in other areas of town
With the help of other user group organizers, I am putting together a resource for the various user groups in the Atlanta area.
http://www.AtlantaUserGroups.com
As you can see I've gone ahead and pre-populated a lot of the site with various user groups and upcoming events to demonstrate the value this site will have for both user group organizers and visitors to the site. Leaders of various local Flex, PHP, SQL, Agile, FoxPro, InDesign, Unix, Owasp and other user groups have already joined the site.
