FreeBSD's widespread popularity has spawned a number of user groups around the world.

If you know of a FreeBSD user group not listed here, please fill out a problem report for category www with the following information:

1. A URL for the user group's website.
2. An email contact address of a human in charge, for use by our visitors and website administrators.
