I live in Manchester, UK, and while there are lots of developer communities (regular events, get togethers etc) in London, there are not many "up north". I know of a few (NxtGenUg and ManchesterGeekNights) but there must be more than this.
What's the best ways of finding out about these?
How have people got involved with communities in there area?
Get in touch with Manchester Uni or Manchester Met student's unions... they will have programmer's societies ran by the student's union. They welcome non-students and have regular meetups. Here is a list of societies
Also check out ManLug as there is bound to be coders there, and they may be able to point you in the right direction. Manchester also has a rich hacker community.
