Hi Surit,



Welcome!!! Have you seen the "How To" guide at
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackUserGroups/HowTo ? There is some
helpful information and links there to help get started.



We (our company Aptira) started off in Australia and India by holding an
informal get together and we started by getting in touch with related FOSS
UGs, NOGs and also educational institutions and inviting them to come eat
some food and drink a few beers and talk. From there we invited some
overseas guests to video conference to talk about specific projects in the
OpenStack eco system. Lately we have been hooking people into meetups using
Google Hangouts across the world. We also have an AOSUG planning Etherpad
at https://etherpad.openstack.org/AustralianOpenStackGroupPlanning that
we've been using lately to plan events.



Other than that, please ask and we'll do our best to help you get underway.



I know everyone that has started a group that I've met (so many people in
the last couple of years!) have had a great time, and I feel very fortunate
now to be part of this community. I look forward to seeing you feel the
same way!



Cheers

Tristan

Hi all,

Few days back I was asked to drop an email to this mailing list by Tom
regarding the subject, But I was busy preparing for SFD in Nepal so I could
not send one. I have bought some time to write an email today.



My name is Surit and I am from Nepal. I am a student. I am a FOSS
enthusiast. I am involved with different FOSS related groups in my country
like FOSS Nepal, Mozilla Nepal, Nepal Open Source Klub (NOSK) etc. I am
also a Mozilla representative for my country.

Few days back I started contributing to openstack by
translating(localization) in Transifex.

Now I would like to open a community here in my country so that I could
fetch more contributors. I would like to know the necessary process for
doing so.

In addition to that I am also a little naive to this project so it would be
great if I could receive some trainings or something that would help me and
my community
