The group here in Nashville met monthly for about two years before becoming an official organization. We were lucky to have some good contacts at a university here in town (Vanderbilt) and were able to make use of a very nice theatre-style lecture room in their medical school. We had to give that space up a year ago and move to another school here in town. >From what I've seen the last few days on here, it looks like you're ready to host monthly meetings. The biggest challenge is having a good speaker each month, finding topics, etc. It's easy for a year or two, but after that you start to repeat stuff (I've done two Apache and three Samba presentations in the past 2.5 years). If you like, I can give you pointers here and there about doing this, but there is a lot of it that will be different in Manila, if for no other reason than the fact that the Metro area is much larger than Nashville.
