Subgroups are ongoing conversations organized around bootstrap stages and other topics.
Meetings
Subgroups meet, usually on a monthly basis, to help their members build community and learn. Meetings are usually 3 hours and include a social hour followed by an hour of presented content and another hour of socializing.
Current subgroups that gather their members meet on the following schedule:
- 2nd Mon: Main Bootstrap Meeting
- 3rd Tue: Interactive Subgroup

Every subgroup has a corresponding online group (yahoo or google). You must join the online group to hear about meetings. Members also get help from each other via the online groups.
