I am certainly open to the idea of expanding to a wider region. But California is large, and encompassing the whole state would be difficult.  I got the ball rolling with the LA meetup because I wanted to meet my peers and create a way for us to keep in touch easily.  Arranging for 20-30 people to meetup once every 3-4 months is not difficult. We can just reserve a meeting room in a library and do our best to provide free or easy parking. If we include all of SoCal, that brings us up to something closer to 50-60 people.  That may still be possible, and I've already talked with San Diego folks to make our 3rd meeting a little longer (half day) to make it worth their time to come up north.

Including the whole state could put us into triple digits. This requires larger meeting spaces and at least a full day of programming to make it worth the travel.  I don't know how it is elsewhere, but at USC, getting those big spaces is difficult. They get reserved for other events at the very beginning of each semester. The campus has a conference center, but those rooms have a price tag. So now you're dealing with budgets and other logistical issues.  That kind of meeting is what the national conference is for.  I just wanted a simple local meetup that required very little planning and no money.

I think having a NorCal and SoCal regional group would be a good idea. I realize that may not be satisfactory for someone like you, who is right in the middle, but it also means you could probably get out to both if you wanted.

But despite everything I just said, we would certainly like to include as many people as possible and we will discuss ways of expanding the meetup while keeping it free at our next meeting.

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.
