The First Computer User Group Is Founded
http://www.computerhistory.org/tdih/August/22/

Following a Los Angeles symposium hosted by IBM, a group of
representatives from seventeen groups that had ordered the IBM 704
mainframe computer met at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica,
California. The outcome of the meeting was the first computer user's
group, SHARE. The name was chosen to promote the idea of sharing
information and programs between installations. The group grew quickly,
eventually producing new software and documentation for their IBM
computers.
