KUG guidelines

Edit pageLast modified: 27 February 2025

A Kotlin User Group, or KUG, is a community that is dedicated to Kotlin and that offers you a place to share your Kotlin programming experience with like-minded people.

To become a KUG, your community should have some specific features shared by every KUG. It should:

  • Provide Kotlin-related content, with regular meetups as the main form of activity.

  • Host regular events (at least once every 3 months) with open registration and without any restriction for attendance.

  • Be driven and organized by the community, and it should not use events to earn money or gain any other business benefits from members and attendees.

  • Follow and ensure a code of conduct to provide a welcoming environment for attendees of any background and experience (check out our recommended Code of Conduct).

There are no limits regarding the format for KUG meetups. They can take place in whatever fashion works best for the community, whether that includes presentations, hands-on labs, lectures, hackathons, or informal beer-driven get-togethers.
