So, a friend of mine decided that we need a BSD user group in the
area. That was a few months ago. We now have http://www.tribug.org/
setup, a mailing list, a bunch of people, and not much of an idea
what to do next. 

We're planning on having our first meeting at a restaurant somewhere
nearby soon. After that things get a bit fuzzy. I assume we need
a constitution, officers, perhaps some sort of legal status along
with a bank account (but that comes later), and I'm not sure
what else. 

Any advice? It's been a while (almost 10 years) since I've been in
a user group. How are these things generally organized? What sort
of constitution needs to be written/gotten?

Does anybody have suggestions on what to talk about every month? Are
there any gotchas we should know about?

Basically, what are we doing, anyway?

Thanks for any help.
