FWIW, I think we've had three different groups in Florida over the
years. I think the general "Florida Meeup" was deleted, but there are
technically still two remaining:

PG US: https://www.meetup.com/tampa-bay-postgresql-users-group/
People Postgres Data: https://www.meetup.com/orlando-postgres/

I suspect you could probably get added as an owner to either one if
you wanted to revive them; or do an entirely new things (maybe via
Luna?), though if you create a new group some place, it might be nice
to try to post into those old groups given they at least potentially
have lists of interested people. Whatever you decide, please keep me
in the loop.
