In addition to suggestions on how to get that going that you've received, you might want to talk to folks in the already existing Baltimore-Washington OpenSolaris User Group http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/bwosug/
They might be able to tell you the sorts of activities and events that have worked best for them, as well as what other local resources might be available. Maybe you and they might even wish to combine your resources for some. Not that I've ever been...I type better than I talk. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
