ROS Dutch Users Group creation

Hi Dewi,

Most of our local user groups so far have been more focused on language rather than a specific region. It’s valuable to have local use groups but in general if they’re going to be focused on English language we’d encourage the users to participate in the larger community. To that end in a similar way to my suggestion for the proposed ROS Belgium user group creation I’d suggest that for coordinating meetups where the primary language is English in the main Local User Group category.

A separate consideration is to create a Dutch speaking subcategory to facilitate communications for non-english speakers. And I’d agree with @ThiloZimmermann that it would be good to scope it to make sure to not explicitly scope it based on locality. One of the biggest challenges for these sub categories is to reach critical mass and gathering as many as possible is valuable. A dedicated category that’s inactive is not very encouraging for potential new users.
