Oddly, I somehow didn't get the original message for this, so I'm glad Selena
replied. I think you didn't get replies from anyone else for the same
reason.
Generally the way it goes is this:
1) You issue a call on -general and in PWN (and -advocacy, which you've
already done) asking people to contact you to verify that there are at least
a few other users in SLC.
2) You ask me/Marc for a setup and we assign you a mailing list and blog page
at pugs.postgresql.org. Just FYI, SFPUG has been using meetup.com as well.
3) You have a little dicussion on the mailing list and schedule a first
meeting for some time/place when at least 2 other people can come. Important
things to have for this meeting:
-- a speaker & topic
-- a projector & conference room
-- food
4) You commence regular monthly meetings. The important thing is to have them
regularly, no matter how few people show up, for at least 6 months. It takes
time to build up a regular membership ... we had some meetings in the first
year of SFPUG with 2 attendees, one of them the host. Now we average 16
people.
