Here on this forum we can use group names to notify or contact chapters, teams, etc. If e.g. your chapter or team doesn’t have a group yet then you can request one in this thread.
The following details are needed to request a new group:
- What is the group description?
- Mention details like if this is a chapter (local, regional or national group of people), meta chapter (inter-chapter group based on e.g. a common language like hispanic) or a team (inter-chapter special interest group that covers a certain skill or subject, like IT or multimedia), . We will use the following convention for e.g. a chapter:
chapter_amsterdamfor a chapter in the city Amsterdam. - If the requests concerns a chapter, project or team, you will also get a forum tag assigned such as nl for @chapter_netherlands. These tags may be used to group posts by locality. This will assist with maintaining an overview and also configure notifications for activities in a geographical area. The tags use the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes.
- Provide a URL to a forum post or a website/social-media page where people can learn more about your group.

- Do you want anyone able to join this group without confirmation?
- If not, who needs to be the owner of the group that will be responsible for managing it?
