[ubuntu-za] New way to meet and spread Ubuntu - Thoughts?

[Pieter Engelbrecht]

Hi,

I don't know a lot about meetup.com, but I understand it to be a place 
where a group with a short description is created and their events are 
then listed on it.

I don't see a problem using it then. Only thing, the groups on it now 
has a local area bound (Prt, Jhb, Cpt). We are not bound to such a 
small area, so can we work around this?

Regards,
Pieter
