The Hub
The D3 Group (D3G) is based in Melbourne and, until 2017, our "D3 family" officially spanned Australia and New Zealand, a region known by many as "the land Down Under". Spreading from this Antipodean hub, our efforts have become appreciated around the world and we now have many international friends keen to participate and help. So, in 2017 and eight years after D3G started, we introduced international membership hoping that this would provide a useful stepping stone for effective globalisation of "the D3 movement". With this pleasing expansion
of our D3 family, it became necessary to rebadge our Antipodean core as
"the hub" of a global effort – and what could be better for this purpose
than "D3G Down Under"?
D3G Down Under
D3G currently has more than 250 members and friends across Australia and New Zealand. A selection is listed below to illustrate the breadth of our "D3 family".
