Hi Jeff, Congrats for this initiative. We are creating a local group here in Colombia, mainly in our Hackerspace [1] (Universities here have forgotten about Pharo/Smalltalk an are incredible bureaucratic and slow). Our approach involves data storytelling and agile visualization, with a particular emphasis on data activism. Some details of it are on [2] and the memories (in Spanish) in [3][4], because we have a local first approach. I'm slowly creating English content, like the main page [5], a new user manual[6] and intro pages for the projects repositories[7][8].

Sharing our experience and approaches can help in the consolidation of our local groups. So I hope this helps, and let us know how things are going with your meetup.

Hi all, Just an update. I just attended my third Smalltalk meet-up in Brisbane. It's a small group but hopefully we can grow as we gain momentum. We are just now setting up our team and initial project in Smalltalk Hub.
We are meeting once a month in a great little venue by the river with free fast Wi-Fi and good cheap coffee.
I have been just hacking in Pharo on my own for a while now. I am looking forward to working in a team environment, adding some rigour to my testing and sharing techniques and approaches.
