Sounds like the Hacking Society - http://www.hackingsociety.org/
More info on what that is here - http://www.hackingsociety.org/whatisit/
And, there is precedent for a LUG sponsoring a chapter.  See
http://www.svlug.org/events/hacksoc.shtml

So, pick a restaurant with a big table and wifi and have at it?
Sounds fun to me! :-)

Cheers,
Tanner
