Template:User group/doc

This is a template to collect information of a local OpenStreetMap user group. This information will be used to generate a map of local groups by user:UserGroupsBot. It only replaces the German version Template:Lokale Gruppe (thanks to User:Joto for that one).

For next meetings please refer to Current events.

By this we hope to make it more easy to get in touch with other local mappers, e. g. when you are on vacation, or to provide stats about the OSM hotspots. So please provide contact data (in English) and keep them up to date!

To make your local meeting appear to this map, just copy the following block and customize it for your own requirements. To make your group visible in the list of meetings, add "Category:Meetings in Germany". To add your group to the list of users, add Category:Users by country
