Hi! One of those people here! o/ Isn't there another tool doing the same
but open source? That would be nicer.
Another negative side, we will have to pay
for every meetup group for
each city, which is still a lot of money. This is what we do in PSF for
all the Python meetup groups worldwide.
But against all the negative points,
meetup.com has users. Which is
something with a bigger value than anything else. These users come from
different background/companies. If you see how many new
contributors/speakers we regularly get in Fedora, may be having
meetup.com groups is be a better idea.
