I don't think that I would be the one to organize such a thing, as I just moved here. I'd definately help out, if you needed it, though.
What I was looking for were meetings that were a bit more educational. In Maine, I brought an old LUG back into existence, called DEMLUG (DownEast Maine Linux User Group), and we had a few very good demonstrations, ranging from c and c socket programming to basic operations in linux (as a few of our members were very new to it). I was also very lucky to see a presentation by Jeremy Radlow at UMO for MELUG, about PHP, perl.cgi, and Mason programming, with a secondary focus on database construction. While I already was experienced in the area, it was fascinating to watch. Doesn't HOSEF have install-fests every week, though? Again, what I was looking for was something a little bit beyond an install-fest. =v) James
