Jim Wooley, Brendon Schwartz, and Matt Ranlett did a great job pulling together the Atlanta user groups into one place. We wanted to have this available at the Vista launch in Atlanta, but couldn't get it printed in time. So I figured I would at least blog it. Nice job with this, guys:

 

With so many places to be, find the .NET User Group that is right for you!
