I'm not one to push for "regular participation", as my schedule is typically a mess.
Hypocrisy aside, perhaps it might work to designate one evening every XXX (month? two weeks? weekly?) where people informally congregate and work on something julia related? I think it just needs a couple people to show up each time at a specified venue. Anyhow, more details for Cambridge should probably happen on another list (cajun?) Cameron p.s. It looks like the standard is using meetup.com for group organization, which all the groups listed on the website use (community tab on home page).
