We are working to collect links to active user groups to help Ubuntu users connect with one another. Your participation is appreciated. The regions are sorted alphabetically and then sorted by the monthly meeting date.
Since California is a huge state with 58 counties and yet 68% of the population resides in just three statistical areas (Greater LA, SF Bay Area & Inland Empire) we have used the measures used nationwide to group the areas of the state. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and combined statistical areas (CSAs) are used by the US OMB and we use the same system for the regions of our state as well.

The nine Bay Area counties include Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Marin County, Napa County, San Francisco County, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, Solano County, and Sonoma County
There are numerous Linux and Open Source and related User Groups in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Rather than an almost guaranteed to always be out-of-date list here, you may want to check one or more of these generally well curated lists/calendars, and also the respective User Group web sites, etc.:
