Hi Ed
Sounds like chicken and egg again.. I'd urge you to set something up :-)

There is a fee to set up a group on Meetup. Someone had such a group
in Tampa, and held a mapping party that introduced me to OSM. That was
the only mapping party here since I became aware of OSM. The organizer
let the membership lapse and looked for someone else to take it over.
I wasn't willing to pay $72 every six months, and apparently no one
else was, either. I have never been very successful at enrolling
people into new activities, although I am pretty good at supporting a
group and keeping it on track if someone else leads it. Meaning, among
other things, that if we had an active group here and found Meetup
useful for keeping it going, I'd be willing to pay the Meetup cost.
