The Beers Are On Us
Atlassian User Groups
(AUGs) are informal me
et ups to discuss all
things Atlassian over piz
za and beer.
Our community welcome
s geniuses, n00bs, and e
verything in between.

Why Join an AUG?
Get Real. Real support from real users. Open discussions with users who aren't
paid to tell you what works and what doesn't.
!
Access to Experts. Meet people who have used Atlassian tools for years and
know the ins and outs.
!
Hear News First. Many user groups are scheduled around product releases
ensuring the freshest content at meetings.
!
Meet Friends. Crack a beer and enjoy a slice of pizza with people in your
neighborhood who share a common bond.
!
Share the Love. Your experience with Atlassian tools is interesting to someone out
there - share it with the world!

ABUG Charter - Goal
We want to keep the user group a group made by and for users, to

To achieve this goal, we'd like to meet minimum 4 times a year. These
meetings do cost money, but we want to keep the entrance barrier low.

To achieve this goal, we are looking for great sponsors! To keep our
group independent, the sponsors cannot influence the contents of the
meetings, the mails etc.
