So, before anyone can answer that, I think we need to know:

* Does the geographical location of this group matter? Do they need to 
be in the same place or can they organise remotely?
* What do the people need to be able to do? Is it just normal 
organisational skills, or is something special required?
* How much time is this going to take up?
* etc.

I've Cced gman just to irritate him :-) Actually, I remember he did a 
huge role in organising GUADEC Dublin and can probably help us answer 
the above.
