After a poor turnout at my place of work, I canceled
trying to hold meetings there. Instead, I created a discussion group for the Historical
Computer Society. There are a few of us there now, and we are building a grassroots
organization that way. This is a group to become a lot like MARCH
(http://www.marchclub.org/)
We prefer http://www.midatlanticretro.org.
for the greater Atlanta / southeast US region. A few
of us had our first meeting in a restaurant yesterday, so I think that is a good start.
David, you're probably sick of hearing me repeat this, but I strongly
suggest that you follow MARCH's lead and put something about Atlanta or
at least "Southeast" in your new group name. That would help * local *
people find you, rather than people thinking, "Looks like an interesting
group .... oh wait they're only in some place far away from me."
