I'm new here also; currently in Plano/Richardson area but I could make it up to Denton for an initial meeting if you want to build a community there. I have some roots in that area.
It is probably a better idea to get involved with the first DFW meetup and as we get some numbers, rotate the meeting place to different areas of the metroplex.
With enough momentum, the more active members can build a more localized community.
