If you don’t know about Meetup yet, get this. It’s a chance for you to meet with other like-minded individuals to talk about those things that really interest you, like photography, game design or whatever. In my case, it’s web design and we meet once a month.

That said, we are looking for speakers to come and talk to the group about various web-related topics. contact me If you’re interested in participating or know someone who might be.

Online communities are awesome! I’ve been pretty much glued to my computer monitor for the past 2 days trying to make my new Nvidia video card (GeForce 9600GT) play with Linux. To be fair, the hardware does come with a CD which contains software for the Windows platform; but that doesn’t help me much.
Enter the Ubuntu community, http://ubuntuforums.org. These online forums have a wealth of valuable information on every subject imaginable when it comes to managing your Linux system. I was able to solve my missing driver issue with the help of this thread. I’m continually amazed at the level of help and support that you can get from online communities. who knows… I may even try to help somebody else in return

Yesterday I discovered phoronix.com, an online community dedicated to all technical things, and especially Linux.
I found the online forums extremely helpful.
