Daniel/Biella,
One option, to starting a relationship could be an agreement to
crosspost meeting (and potentially other) announcements to each
other's mailing lists. Obviously people would have to volunteer for
this, but I believe that would be an effective way to start building a
relationship.
Cheers,
Brian
