G’day @Steve_Hand!
Although in-person user groups aren’t an option in most locations at the moment, virtual events are definitely possible if you might be interested in volunteering to present (and/or find presenters) for a session.
Since virtual events can reach a much broader audience, we have set up a Global Virtual Community chapter on our new user group platform. You can contact the organisers of this (or any of our other) user groups via the MUG chapter page or start a new discussion in the User Groups forum category.
We are also looking for community co-organisers for our user groups, so perhaps you may be interested in helping with the Austin MUG.
Regards,
Stennie
