I started the Twin Cities BSD user group about 2 years ago.  I got the 
group listed on ww.freebsd.org and sent an announcement to 
dailydaemonnews.  That generated about 10-15 users.  Two years later 
(today) I have about 50 members, most of whom lurk on our mailing 
list.  Meetings have been sketchy from time to time....we've had a 
couple that were 4 people all the way up to 20 people.  I suspect 
there is a "critical mass" that needs to be met before we have 
consistant attendance to the meetings. 

HTH, feel free to ask questions and what-not.  You might have some 
ideas for me as well.
