Now that's not very nice. Sacramento has lots to offer and is close to Folsom Lake, Lake Tahoe, lots of national forests and state parks, has the best farmer's markets in the state, doesn't have the traffic and congestion problems, everything is reasonably priced, etc., etc., etc. L.A. on the other hand...... well I'll be polite and "not go there".
Judging from the locations of the people on the list, it is probably too soon (as in not enough members) to start planning CA meetings since there'd need to be several "regional" ones because of the size of the state.
I'd be willing to host a meeting at my place, except I'd probably be too inconvenient a location (Shingle Springs - above Sacramento and below Lake Tahoe.) It's like pulling teeth though to get me to go to southern CA.

If there were a california meeting, my vote goes for L.A.
Sacramento, is well, Sacramento. Not exactly my idea of a place to visit and spend an extra day. San Francisco is great, but expensive. L.A. is more central, has plenty of room, and can be affordable. Of course, if my job covered the trip I wouldn't mind a trip to SF.
I'm in San Diego, which is a great place for a meeting, but too far for our SF and Sacramento(sorry about the above slight) members. L.A. or San Diego might also be better for our Arizona and Nevada people.

Being from Boston, I can see attending a New England regional meeting
every few months. I noticed people from Massachusetts, VT, CT, and Maine
on the list, I cannot see flying to Chicago on a regular basis.

I suspect we'll end up having a whole bunch of regional meetings if
this is going to happen at all. I'm in the Bay Area, California and
Sacramento is *just* within reasonable reach to hold an evening
meeting, for *some* parts of the Bay Area. San Francisco is more
central (indeed, BACFUG - Bay Area ColdFusion User Group - meets in SF
and gets folks from Sacramento sometimes even tho' they have their own
UG).
I can see a Bay Area WSG meeting drawing folks from all over the Bay
Area - Sacramento to San Jose and maybe a little further afield. I can
also see an Orange County WSG meeting drawing folks from the greater
LA area and down as far as San Diego.
I don't see folks from the West Coast going to Chicago just for a WSG
meeting - a full-blown two day conference maybe, but not just a
meeting. Same with the East Coast folks (there should be a good
concentration of them to make a 'local' DC-based meeting worthwhile
I'd expect).
Question to Peter - is the city/state level membership information
available in aggregate so we can figure out what might work for
regional US meetings?
