meetups

I've been organizing the Johannesburg Drupal user group meetups and came across this excellent posting which touches on group leadership, saying "First, do not try to do it alone".

The time has come to get a Baltimore Area Drupal Users Group together. People keep telling me they would love to work with Drupal but cannot seem to find many developers or resources in the area to get them started and help them feel supported. DC is just too far for some people to go during the week.

I am interested in leading regular meetups in the area and have several sponsors willing to donate meeting rooms, wireless access, projectors and other goodies. Wondering what people think about the following questions:

To get the ball rolling,

for all of you interested in attending meetup-type events in Hamilton, how often would you be interested? Would this be something you are interested in weekly? Monthly? Bi-Monthly?
