I'm thinking about spearheading a Salt Lake or Provo Hackers/Founders meetup (depending on feedback from both areas) and wanted to gauge interest here first. If you are interested in coming to or helping to organize such a thing, shoot me an email (in my profile).

#2Definitely interested! You might even be able to coordinate it with some local startup programs.
BoomStartup (http://www.BoomStartup.com) - I'm actually in this program right now.
The Foundry (http://www.business.utah.edu/node/1203) - I know some people in this if you're interested.
Launch Up (http://www.launchup.org) - They meet tomorrow in South Jordan
Web Startup Group (http://webstartupgroup.com/) - A BYU startup community

#6This is awesome to see. I'm an SF'er now, but I had previously launched some startups in Utah. I hope you guys have a killer time.

#8As would I. I'm working on starting a BYU Hackers Club (in the Engineering department.). (I need a better name though... I don't think it will make it past administration.)

#9I've enjoyed the hackers and founders meetup in mountain view. I really do enjoy how unstructured it is compared to Launch Up and the Web Startup Group.
Another good group is the CTO Breakfast hosted by Phil Windley at the Novell Cafeteria http://www.windley.com/cto_forum
