First check the list - to make sure there isn't already Pentaho User Group already running in your area or on the same global topic. Also check the hashtag #PentahoUG on Twitter to see if there has been any interest in your area.

- Name: Pentaho [area] User Group
- Region: global or local? North America, EMEA, APAC, South America
- Location: City, State, URL
- Profile: a brief description of your group: what are your user groups goals? Is your group just focused on Pentaho or Pentaho and other technologies? why Why is your PUG important? who Who is in your PUG?
- Contact: the Pentaho usernames of the people who organize the group, who someone can contact if they want more info
- To Join: you must include instructions, like a contact person or link here to instruct people on how to join
- Links: any sites your group has off Pentaho wiki - MeetUp Page? LinkedIN? Google Groups? Flickr Groups? Facebook Page? Blog?
- Events: when do you meet and where? in person? how often? any sales or contests or in-person events coming up? *
