So moving into OSGeo California territory?<br>
FYI, the closest current thing is the GeoMeetup in SF area that Ragi runs.<br>

<br>
For everyone else:<br>
In big states it's a little harder for a Chapter to hold meetings more<br>
than a few times a year. A core group of friendly acquaintances close<br>
enough to meet once a month seems to work well.<br>
<br>
FYI, Linux User Groups are one such model to look at. My town has<br>
managed to have one for 15 years with attendance from 3-100. All it<br>
takes is one person constantly organizing.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
