Meeting places

There are several places you can go to "meet" other people that use Lua. A good starting point is lua-users.org, a collaborative meeting place built for and by Lua users. One of the focal points of the Lua community is our mailing list, which is very active and friendly; it has over 1800 subscribers from all over the world, including several Lua experts and the Lua team. Other meeting places are the chat room and the forum. Lua is also frequently cited in usenet newsgroups.

Part of the Lua community met in person during the Lua Workshop in 2005, 2006, and 2008. The main event in 2007 was the talk on the evolution of Lua at ACM HOPL III. There was also a workshop on LuaTeX held at TUG 2007.

Contributing

You can contribute to the community in several ways: collaborate in the lua-users wiki, answer our survey, add a Lua logo to your web page, tell us about third-party sites related to Lua and papers and theses about Lua, write tools and libraries for Lua, and add them to LuaForge.

You can help to support the Lua project by buying a book or by making a donation. Companies that use Lua may wish to become a corporate sponsor.
