<p id="community-groups">
The enthusiasm for Free Software has created an international community, where people share their positive experiences, ask for recommendations on Free Software topics and programmes, and solve problems together.
</p>
<p>
Some of them also go a step further: they support the use of Free Software as a cause and act to promote it. This is where we come in. The Free Software Foundation Europe helps the Free Software movement in Europe <a href="/contribute/contribute.html">take action</a> and <a href="https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/press-release">stay informed</a>.
</p>
<p>
Our community is organised in <em>local groups</em>, <em>country
teams</em>, and <em>thematic groups</em>. Some of these are casual and have ongoing discussions in chats. Others are task-oriented and plan their own campaigns.
</p>
<p>
Whether you are a long-time Free Software enthusiast or a newcomer, our groups are waiting for you! Say hello to the team you are interested in, introduce yourself and join their next meeting!

<p>
You can even start a group from scratch. If you know 2-3 people in
your area that want to become active too, you can form a group. We
will then spread the message so that Free Software enthusiasts in
your area can join. Have a look at our <a href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/KnowHow/FSFELife/MeetingHowTo">how-to</a>,
and contact the <a href="/about/people/partsafyllidou/">community
coordinator</a> to get started. Also, some of our groups have been <a href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/Inactive">quiet lately</a>.
Still, you can try out contacting them and asking for a meeting if
you are feeling extra motivated.
