We decided to continue using the Fedora project pages and mailing lists to announce and track meets, and also use other local mailing lists, IRC channels, and direct contacts. It appears that meetup.com is fast becoming the brand for organising meetings, but it comes with the risk of getting your brand locked-in to the meetup.com brand. Organising meetings through meetup.com is inevitable for those groups which do not have their own infrastructure, but not so much for those who do. So it is a risk call that you need to take. I would go for the staying free route. -rejy (rmc) > > > > -- > *Gene Liverman* > Systems Administrator > Information Technology Services > University of West Georgia > gliverma at westga.edu <mailto:gliverma at westga.edu> > 678.839.5492 > > ITS: Making Technology Work for You! > > > > This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged > information.
