Ask HN: Networking with Hackers in a Small Town

I recently moved to a small town in the US. It seems to have a decent number of people in the software iondustry (I did a LinkedIn search for my city and "Industry: Software development" and got a few hundred) but it's no tech hub like the Bay Area or NYC. I work remotely so I'd like to network with people in my area, to build professional relationships, maybe make friends and collaborate on some personal projects (I enjoy working with people much more than on my own) and just generally be more involved in my local community. Maybe organize some kind of tech meetup (currently, meetups.com shows none in my area, although perhaps there's some that are not advertised there). How should I go about doing this? Any tips for figuring out who would have common interests before I reach out, or is it just a matter of trying everyone and seeing who bites? If anyone has been in a similar situation: What worked for you and what didn't?

Once there, you can select the date ranges you want and generate a transaction report in PDF or CSV and then you have to wait a bit while it generates the report for you to download. What kind of UI craziness is this? A user's transaction history is such a basic feature, I can't imagine c...
