I think it would be nice to have an Atlassian User Group tie-in to the Atlassian Community. Both are excellent resources for finding answers and connecting with others with a common interest. A field for AUG could be included in your profile.
I have some thoughts on ways to include AUG in the Community.
- Display an AUG icon near each question/discussion created by someone in your AUG
- Pull AUG upcoming events and drop that content into the feed for users associated with that group
- Offer an AUG member badge
- Create an AUG challenge where the group with the most answers marked as correct by someone not in their group wins
Any thoughts on this from the Atlassian Community at large?
