I am definitely interested in a Northern California regional Code4Lib
group, but my ability to jet down to LA for a two-hour meeting is
regrettably limited. Likewise my ability to jet up to Seattle or Portland,
unfortunately. Perhaps a better strategy might be to focus on a local? For
example, we have CDL in Oakland, several nearby UCs, CSUs, large publics,
and community colleges to draw from. We should be able to put together a
decent showing on our own, I would imagine.
