Silverlight User Groups – Roll Call
October 21, 2009
While I’m sitting here preparing for the presentation at the Seattle Interact group tonight, I’m trying to recall the different Silverlight User Groups that I know of. After the massively re-tweeted announcement about the L.A. based Silverlight group yesterday and the just getting started Redmond-based group, I’m wondering how many other new groups have popped up since I last looked.
(I’m also trying to come to terms with the SLUG moniker that is bound to keep popping up…)
Here’s the list that of active groups that I have:
- Australia
- Sydney, Melbourne Silverlight Designer and Developer Network
- Belgium
- Brazil
- Bulgaria
- Canada
- Toronto, ON Toronto Silverlight User Group
- Vancouver, BC Vancouver Silverlight User Group
- Hungary
- Japan
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- Portugal
- Singapore
- United Kingdom
- London – UK Silverlight Group
- Birmingham, Manchester, Oxford, Southampton – NxtGenUG
- United States
- Birmingham, AL – Silverlight Nights
- Phoenix, AZ – Arizona Silverlight SIG
- Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Silverlight User Group
- Boulder, CO – Boulder Silverlight Users Group
- Atlanta, GA – Silverlight Atlanta
- Jacksonville, FL – Jacksonville Silverlight User Group
- Tampa Bay, FL – Tampa Bay Silverlight User Group
- Chicago, IL – Chicago Design & Developers User Group
- Ann Arbor, MI – Michigan Interactive Designers
- Bloomington, MN – Twin Cities Silverlight User Group
- New York NY – New York City WPF and Silverlight Meetup
- Philadelphia, PA – PhillyXAML

- Bellevue, WA – Seattle Design & Developers User Group
- Redmond, WA – Seattle Silverlight User Group
- Virtual / Online

Do you know of another group? Are you interested in starting one?
Oh and a quick addendum, if I know when your user group meetings are happening I’ll post them on the XamlEvents twitter account.
