Welcome, I like Manchester enough that I’m still here after ten years,
so I hope you will too. It has no shortage of groups either. As well as
Manchester Free Software, there is ManLUG[1] (there is a meeting today,
14:00 at Madlab), and there are plenty of others to choose from,
including groups about programming languages such as Python[2] and
Perl[3], and about specific software such as Wordpress[4].

Look at the Madlab site[5] where you will find many groups hold their
meetings, North West Digital Communities (NWDC)[6] which is a
collaboration between multiple groups, and the Manchester Digital
Development Agency (MDDA)[7].
