Is there a submission process? Should I prepare a presentation for the
first meeting? Or is this just a kick-off to get everyone acquainted
with the group and process?

Tim Anglade (the meta-organizer) had the first meeting and had this to say about first paper choice: "my personal advice is to stay away from heavy-yet-sparse (but famous & tempting) papers like CAP, which require a wealth of prior knowledge to be understood fully. I'll probably recommend that my own local group start with “the 1995 SQL Reunion” or with “It’s Time for a Complete Rewrite”."
In either case, tomorrow night we shall organize and figure out which paper we'd like to tackle first. Also on the agenda is probably how to split the group up, since its hard to have a reading group with 60+ people. Furthermore there are probably people who might like to not commute to the city every week for a meetup, and they might be able to find like-minded folks closer to home.

The first paper meeting was posted online, it will be "The End of An Architectural Era" which won a vote 7 to 4 last night. The meeting is taking place next Tuesday at 7pm and will be held every other Tuesday at 7pm ongoing. I took notes and put them online:
