So, I ran a few of those, called them Hacking Society. In Fort Collins we have a Linux Users Group that meets on Tuesdays, in Boulder it meets on Thursdays. So the remaining Tue/Thu of the month I would secure space, often at a coffee shop, for us to get together and work on projects. It has worked very well, I did it for ~20 years, I know the Fort Collins one is still going strong. If you want a location page on HackingSociety.org, let me know and we'll figure out a way to set you up one. But mostly it's about just finding and announcing a place with a regular schedule. For the first ~10 years, I took "meeting notes" about what people did, which I felt helped keep people in mind of the "working on projects" component.
