My suggestion is to find a bowlo club or similar. They're often grateful to get even a small amount of extra business, and they have food/drink and function rooms. I'd look at making a SIG with the local PC users groups first rather than start a FOSS/Linux group. You'll have a lot of shared experience anyway (hardware) and you'll be able to drum up a lot if interest. PC people are geeky/nerd types that are naturally interested in all types of software, especially software that hits the hardware directly like Linux. Melbourne PC users group has sigs which would be a good model for this. http://groups.melbpc.org.au/ They even have a Linux/BeOS group and regional groups. Sadly the equivalent Sydney one does not seem to be of the same size/generality.
