Apart from the excellent links that Sheeri provided, note specifically  
that meetup.com is free for MySQL user groups.
You get calendar/signup stuff in there, as well as a mailing list and  
other relevant infrastructure. Plus good Google juice.

In terms of content, I'd be happy to do a gig by video some time, in  
Dutch - I'm a native Dutchie except I live in Australia ;-)
Similarly, I'm sure that Roland Bouman (in Leiden) would be happy to  
do a talk also.
Also happy to help on the Dutch mailing list (in Dutch) when you set  
it up.

Be sure to let me know!

Cheers,
Arjen.
