Mike, I suggest you just start a group on meetup.com. We've had good success with the NYC OCaml Meetup (and it's not just because of Jane Street, indeed most of our members are not from Jane Street). The hard work is in recruiting speakers to give talks, organize hack-a-thons, etc., but it only takes a couple committed people to make it work.

And once you start it, be sure to let the ocaml.org dev team know so we can add it to the new website under the Meetings section.

hi Mike

There used to be "OCaml dinners" in bay area, 3 or 4 were organized about 1 year ago. At some point we even held a little hackathon resulting in a small website for posting ocaml challenges (code should be at https://github.com/baoug), now deceased.

Hello all,
I'm curious what kind of critical mass there might be for an OCaml
meetup/UG in Silicon Valley. Who's around? Has this been tried/failed
before?
Best,
Mike Lin
