Sounds like a good idea, but what work is involved?  If the materials
are the same as what we include in the event box, then perhaps we just
need to add some text to the User's Group Wiki page so people know where
to get the materials.

  http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups

Or are there any materials we should create that are specific to User's
Groups.  Perhaps by helping to make them more interesting/fun/active?

Though, I'd think that we should work more to revive gugmeisters, and
this would probably be a good topic to discuss there instead of here.
Doing some work to make sure that people who do work relating to
GNOME User's Groups or who are active members subscribe to the list
would be a good idea.
