Welcome to the Liferay UK User Group! #

@LiferayUKUG #

As this is a local user group, we encourage you to share information and help increase awareness and adoption of Liferay in the UK. Our goal is to form a network of people in the UK who work with, have used, are investigating or are simply interested in Liferay.
