As far as I know is is only talk thus far. Dennis Rowe will probably be the primary contact. (He didn't duck fast enough.) There is a lot of interest in Open Source and Linux, a lot of people "seem" interested. How many of them have the time and energy to get involved will determine what happenes.
I will help, but I won't be much help. Heck, I'm mostly useless on a good day. Dennis and I are working on a contact letter to get a email listserv account through LSU. We will run the letter past the BRLUG prior to sending it in for comments, speuling and grammer checks. I hope the LSU-LUG can become at least a good on-line source for coordinating Open Source activity on campus. I don't know if meetings need to happen except for Fellowship, Community Coffee, Krispy Kreme and install fests.
