This is a great idea. I really wish we had half the community community you guys have, here in Aberdeen, Scotland. You could throw a rock and hit a tech guy in SF. Here, the only groups of any prominence are MS .Net groups. I've been struggling to find or build such a network here. I'm an open source, Linux, Python type of guy and feel I don't fit in the myopic tech culture here. I'd emigrate to SF in a heartbeat. Good luck networking, I reckon you'll do alright. If you ever visit Scotland, hit me up!

Have you tried http://aberlug.org.uk/ http://aberlug.org.uk/ or https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/group/ https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/group/ or http://www.meetup.com/Aberdeen-Python-Meetup http://www.meetup.com/Aberdeen-Python-Meetup? (not having a go, I have the same problem (sometimes) in Australia)

  (Disclaimer: I'm cofounder) I'd recommend also giving http://www.startuptravels.com/ http://www.startuptravels.com/ a go, we're not a huge crowd yet, but we've got a few entrepreneurs in Australia, and the responsiveness and willingness to meet new people amongst our users has been overwhelmingly positive so far.

    No one near me. Can I register as a non-startup tech? Edit: Ah, I don't use LinkedIn.

      @voltagex_ Definitely. We believe that entrepreneurial spirit is more a state of mind, than what you might be doing on a daily basis. Edit: Ah, bummer. I believe that's a +1 for native signup! :) Also, which city are you living in?

        Native / StackExchange / GitHub / Google might hit the other part of your target market. I'm in Canberra.

  Thanks! Aberlug seems dead (I've visited the IRC channel and it seems pretty inactive). I didn't know about the two other sites, so thanks for the leads.

Hired just opened in the UK! Check us out - just London so far, but we'll be expanding. One of the key things for us is supporting the local tech community. http://join.hired.com/x/vn2ki8 http://join.hired.com/x/vn2ki8
