It is the right place.

Generally folks kick this off by starting a Meetup.com group, unless
there's another scheduling platform which is popular in your area. If
you want financial help with the meetup subscription, it's usually
available.

My advice is to get the meetup account, find a speaker, find a venue,
schedule them, and then broadcast the information about the first
meeting here, on pgsql-general, and on PostgreSQL News and events.
That'll get the word out.
