Why join groups.io?

​Because it's your place to engage and stay on top of what's happening in the Pi.
In groups.io you can:. 

• Generally Stay in Touch
  The main Apple Pi area of groups.io is the location where members keep up with what's happening in the Pi. Reading the posts here will help you understand what's new with technology (hardware and software) and make you the smartest person in the room (assuming you choose your rooms carefully!). Oh, and don't worry, lurking is allowed. --meaning there is no pressure to actively post to the site or to interact with posts made by others. We love it if you play but we all spend some time on the bleachers.
• View the Pi Events Calendars
  When is the next General Meeting or Clubhouse Saturday? What's scheduled upcoming in my special interest group? Find out what else is going on. The events Calendars are only available in group.io and contain the Zoom links for virtual meetings.
• Post Your Questions
  Something got you stumped? Need a bit of assistance with a new feature or two in the latest Mac or iOS release? Help may be available by posting your conundrum and requesting some thoughts. The answer may appear in a reply to your post or might present itself with an offer of some one-on-one assistance.
• Provide and Receive Answers
  While it feels good to get your questions answered, and it feels even better to help someone else. Here's where you can share what you know.
• Go Deep With SIGs
  SIGs are Special Interest Groups providing an opportunity to dive deeper with those sharing your particular passion, such as Photography. SIGs have their own areas within groups.io and where members of each SIG can geek-out knowing they are "talking" to others with similar interests and without posting to a more general audience.
• Share
   Share your experiences and expertise with the members (or just the latest tip or trick you've discovered). You will likely find members who will share your excitement over a new tech purchase or cheer you on as you increase your hardware or software mastery.
• Request One-on-One Assistance
  Sometimes we just need a little additional assistance. There is no guarantee that one of our members will always be able to come up with a solution, but we are often willing to try. Perhaps a personal phone call or and individual Zoom session will do the trick.
