There is a local tech meetup in town that I frequent but now its just comprised of mainly sales people. It has lost its "tech" feel and as soon as I sit down for lunch at one of these events i feel like I am cornered and asked tons of questions which usually lead to the person wanting to sell something. Now don't get me wrong, everyone has to put food on the table, but I cant find a good tech meetup in my area...
How would you all suggest starting a infosec/hack group? I have seen sites like meetup.com and britekite.com and can start up a twitter account, blog, etc, but do you guys have any suggestions on getting a group off the ground?
Thanks,
