Has anyone ever started a Meetup group?

Not hard at all. And, nope, not nuts. As long as it's a topic that garner a certain amount of traction, you'll be fine.

I've been both a member and an organizer.

I did and I loved it. I used to be shy but I think that this brought me out of it even more.

It doesn't have to be a lot of work, some of the meetups I set up were just pot lucks at a member's house and then some took a little more work on my part. I don't think running a once or twice a month coffee shop meet up would be too hard.

Good luck, I really hope you love it as much as I did.

I have not, but that sounds cool. It's good that you want to do that, imo.

What are you going to discuss?
